.And there arn't too many places you can see regular F16 flight operations and the occasional B52. I guess we will see lots of JSF flights too when they get underway.

After all, the Red River Shoot-out (or, given Oklahoma's dominance in 5 of the last 6 games, more affectionately called the Red River Blow-out) is played at the Cotton Bowl--which is in Dallas.
