Houston, prepare for takeoff! The Wings Over Houston Airshow will once again soar over Space City this fall, and includes a major comeback from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, re-joining the show for the first time since 2018.
Aviation enthusiasts are in for a sky-high treat as world-famous aerobatic pilots take center sky for hours of aerial performances from the F-16 Viper Demo Team, Debby Rihn-Harvey, U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Demo Team, Extreme Flight with Patrick McAlee, and the ReMax Skydiving Team.
"This will be the Blue Angels’ first time demonstrating our new F/A-18 Super Hornets, along with the C-130J Super Hercules in Houston,” said Capt. Brian Kesselring, commanding officer, and flight leader of the Blue Angels in a statement.
In its 38th year, the event will include displays of vintage aviation, a classic car show featuring roughly 100 vehicles, interactive areas for children and adults, and charitable opportunities. In addition, you can expect major vehicle envy with the “Military Might!” drive-in style show on Friday, Oct. 28th, as well as the return of a classic car show including a classic guitar auction benefiting U.S. VETS-Houston.
“We’re excited to return to Texas and perform at the Wings Over Houston Airshow after a four-year absence,” Kesselring concludes.
The airshow happens on October 29th and 30th at Ellington Airport 11602 Aerospace Ave, Houston, TX 77034 from 8 am to 5 pm. Tickets start at $37.50 for General Admission and include entry for one adult and up to six children aged 14 and under. Visit the website for more information and premium tickets.
