A Hackerspace or Makerspace in many cases act as a co-op community workshop that operates so that members may have access to tools and manpower to complete their own personal project which would have been impossible on their own due to either lack of tools, manpower, or expertise. One aspect of our hackerspace / makerspace that we would like to emphasize both in recognition and in activity is that we are a nonprofit entity in DFW.Visit our site www.dfwmakersclub.org/ for more information on Makerspace

During the 1940s, work began on a regional airport for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Both cities favored the construction of a new airport due to the extensive cost of expanding both Love and Meacham Fields. Disagreements between Dallas and Fort Worth stopped the project in 1943, and the airport (then called Midway) was turned over to the city of Arlington. The field was used for military training and test flights during World War II. Following the war, Fort Worth decided to develop Midway as its major airport and, with the help of American Airlines, began work on its expansion in 1947. Named for civic booster and longtime aviation enthusiast Amon G. Carter in 1950, Amon Carter Field officially opened in 1953 as the Greater Fort Worth International Airport. Major airlines based at Amon Carter Field included American, Braniff, Central, Continental, Delta, Eastern, Frontier, and Trans-Texas.
In 1962 Fort Worth renamed the facility the Greater Southwest International Airport (GSW) in hopes of reviving a joint regional airport project with Dallas. The Civil Aeronautics Board ordered Fort Worth and Dallas to agree on a location for a regional airport in 1964. Leaders selected an 18,000-acre site straddling the Dallas-Tarrant County line, just a few miles north of the GSW Airport. Commenced in 1968, the first commercial flight landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on January 13, 1974. The runways of the GSW Airport closed with the opening of DFW. Today, drivers on sections of Amon Carter Boulevard follow the alignment of the original north-south runway. Remnants of GSW are still visible north and east of State Highways 183 and 360.
