DC-3 Christmas Lights Flights Are a Texas Christmas Tradition
The writer of the popular Christmas poem, “
T’was The Night Before Christmas,” describes his awe as ‘ol St. Nick descends from the night sky and arrives “
with such a clatter” to herald the arrival of Christmas. This poem has long been a Christmas tradition. In the skies over Ft. Worth, Texas, during the month of December, there is a new tradition that lets the good citizens know that Christmas is on its way. It is the sound of two throaty radial engines droning above in the darkness. Two times each evening, they hear this sound and know that Christmas will soon be here.
