We will visit the Fort Worth Stockyards. Fort Worth is where the West begins, and nothing embodies Western heritage
better than the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. From the original brick walkways to the wooden
corrals, every inch of the Stockyards tells the true history of Texas’s famous livestock industry. Watch the morning
cattle drive. The Fort Worth Herd steers can be viewed before and after cattle drives in their pens behind the Livestock
Exchange Building on East Exchange Avenue. Drovers are available before each cattle drive for photo ops and
questions. After the cattle drive you will have time to do lunch on your own and explore the stockyard area.
Due to COVID, Lockheed cannot commit to this tour at this time, but if their restrictions change they will be
offering this tour, however the tour will be limited in numbers, so sign up early to secure your spot on the tour.
Sign-ups are on a first come first serve basis.
Wheelchairs are allowed but please let us know in advance so we can make the appropriate arrangements. Flat
sole – closed toe shoes are required. There will be approximately ½ mile of walking. The rest of the tour will
have transportation supplied. No weapons of any kind are allowed. There is a place on the registration form to
fill out the information needed for the security screening. You must be a US Citizen with no criminal record and
provide the information requested on the registration form.
We will receive an exclusive briefing and tour of the mile long state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that is producing
the only 5th Generation Stealth Fighter in the World, the F-35 Lightning II. The Lightning II is a single-seat, single engine fighter aircraft designed for many missions with advanced, integrated sensors built into every aircraft. Missions
that were traditionally performed by small numbers of specialized aircraft, such as intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance and electronic attack missions can now be executed by a squadron of F-35s, bringing new capabilities
to many allied forces. The F-35 is developed, produced, and supported by an international team of leading aerospace
companies. As the prime contractor, Lockheed Martin continues its 100-year history of aircraft research and design
with the Lightning II. Principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems build the center and aft fuselages,
respectively. Northrop Grumman also brings its expertise in carrier aircraft and low-observable stealth technology to
the F-35 program and supports logistics, sustainment, modeling and simulation and mission planning. BAE Systems
contributes a rich heritage of capabilities, including short takeoff and vertical landing experience, advanced lean
manufacturing, flight testing and air systems sustainment. Pratt & Whitney builds the F-35’s F135 propulsion system,
the world’s most powerful fighter engine.
After the Lockheed tour you will have time to explore Fort Worth and do lunch on your own. In the late 19th century
Fort Worth became an important trading post for cowboys at the end of the Chisholm Trail. A few things to see in Fort
Worth include the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth Stockyards and National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

1934. This awe-inspiring mesh of colors and textures features more than 2500 species of plants and

place to rest among the cypress trees.
