Aviation news international – \u201cCowtown Takes Flight,\u201d an exhibit at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, features 45 photos from UTA Libraries\u2019 Special Collections Department that document DFW\u2019s aviation history.<\/p>\n

The \u201cCowtown Takes Flight\u201d exhibit highlights the social history and key moments in the development of aviation in North Texas through photographs and artifacts, said Abigail Hofbauer, the museum\u2019s marketing manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibit focuses on the key players and events in aviation history,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople like Roland Garros, whose first powered flight was in Fort Worth in 1911; the Women Air Force Service Pilots who did training here in World War II; and all of the different airfields and military bases that have been here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the artifacts include the fuselage of a Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopter, the plexiglass top turret dome from a World War II B-24 bomber, flight suites, airplane models, historical documents and a Southwest Airlines flight attendant uniform from the 1970s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe photographs and the archival materials in the exhibition provide the context to the history,\u201d said Kera Newby, director of special collections and archives at UTA. \u201cIt shows the real people involved in the evolution of and the relationship between Fort Worth and aviation. It is putting a face to a story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the 12,000-square-foot exhibit space, photographs from the Star-Telegram Collection archived at UTA Libraries are prominently featured. Sara Pezzoni, UTA photo collections coordinator, said she was struck by the photos and documents that told the story of the 1981 Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) strikehttps:\/\/library.uta.edu\/digitalgallery\/search?mefibs-form-mini-search-search_api_views_fulltext=PATCO&mefibs-form-mini-search-sort_by=search_api_relevance&mefibs-form-mini-search-sort_by=search_api_relevance&mefibs-form-mini-search-items_per_page=48&mefibs-form-mini-search-mefibs_block_id=mini_search.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the PATCO strike was a pretty prominent piece of aviation history that happened at DFW Airport,\u201d Pezzoni said. \u201cIt resonated with us the most because it highlighted an important part of our collection, the Texas Labor Archives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Texas Labor Archives housed at UTA Libraries contain materials from hundreds of union locals and labor councils, statewide labor organizations, union political groups and personal papers of union officials.<\/p>\n

The \u201cCowtown Takes Flight\u201d exhibit will be at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History for the next year. General admission tickets are $16. For more information about the exhibit, visit the\u202fFort Worth Museum of Science and History website.<\/p>\n
