There is an airport in a neighborhood off of 170 in North Fort Worth. That might work.

There is an abandoned airport in Saginaw. It is grassed over.

You might contact hicks field on business 287 north of Saginaw. They have some car remodeling businesses. You might be able to do a show on a taxiway and a hanger. they have flyin events.

There is part of the old Great Soutwest runway visible just north of the road when you go out the S Exit of DFW toward 360.

Seagoville has an old airport on Combine Road. Has only an old gravel runway...dont even know if it is used anymore.

You can seach for all currently operational airports through the following link:

Private airports are typically very lightly used, so you may be able to work out something with the owners for a weekend.

For example, a list of Private airports in the Dallas area is:

6TA3 LAWRENCE, TX CULP AIRPORT
TX89 GARLAND, TX GANZE RANCH AIRSTRIP AIRPORT
TA18 FORNEY, TX SUNSET AIRPORT
TS71 OVILLA, TX FLYING B RANCH AIRPORT
5TA9 SEAGOVILLE, TX SEAGOVILLE AIRPORT
2TS6 MIDLOTHIAN, TX EAGLE'S NEST ESTATES AIRPORT
25XS WAXAHACHIE, TX O'BRIEN AIRPARK AIRPORT
01TE FORNEY, TX SMITH FIELD AIRPORT
TS00 FORT WORTH, TX FULLER AIRPORT
TS53 GRAPEVINE, TX FLYING CAP VALLEY AIRPORT
19TA MC CLENDON-CHISHOLM, TX LAGRONE RANCH AIRPORT
5TX6 LEWISVILLE, TX HILLIARD LANDING AREA AIRPORT

The problem with Hicks is that they have a lot of training traffic there and a couple t-28s based out of there... I am not sure that they would be interested in that type of event.
