Bell helps with the annual black-tie event “An Evening in Fort Worth,” designing and printing programs and signs, such as table arrangement and seating charts.

Bell has also supported several AFA Texas state conventions by donating models of the Air Force CV-22 for the silent auction, as well as many Bell related items used for prizes in a recent golf tournament.  The association also noted Bell’s long history with the Air Force. The first production Air Force jet aircraft (the P-59 Airacomet) was designed and built by Bell Aircraft, as was the Glamorous Glennis, the aircraft that propelled Capt. Chuck Yeager to be the first person to break the sound barrier.

We’ve gotten up pretty early in the morning to support our friends of the 136th Air Wing at NAS JRB Fort Worth.  Pancakes were plentiful as the volunteers served over 100 hungry Airmen, which was a great way to kick off the morning briefings.
