Fort Worth has had many nicknames – Cowtown, Panther City, Funkytown, etc. But in July, it received a new one thanks to Texas House Concurrent Resolution 142: "Aviation & Defense Capital of Texas".
After all, the city has a robust ecosystem of aviation companies like American Airlines, Lockheed Martin, and Bell Flight – as well as several businesses dedicated to aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul, like Embraer, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, MTU Aero Engines and others.
Plus, is home to DFW Airport and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, along with three City-owned airports – Meacham International Airport, Fort Worth Spinks Airport, and Perot Field.
