Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the Wings Over Houston Airshow (WOHA) is bringing aviation enthusiasts a rare opportunity to witness two highly sought-after aircraft – the F-100 Super Sabre and the USAF KC-46A Pegasus. These planes join a diverse lineup of aerial displays and exclusive appearances for the Oct. 26 and 27 event coming to Ellington Airport in Houston, Texas.
“Wings Over Houston has always been about creating unforgettable moments for our guests,” said Bill Roach, Executive Director of WOHA. “These aircraft draw fans from across the globe, so featuring both the KC-46A Pegasus and F-100 at this year’s show will offer fans a truly unique experience.”
Part of the Collings Foundation collection, the only airworthy F-100 Super Sabre in North America —and possibly in the world— was a critical asset in U.S. operations during the Vietnam War. Flown by Houstonian Rick Sharpe, founder of the Vietnam War Flight Museum, the F-100 will join a fleet of Vietnam-era planes and helicopters for a tribute to those who served in this rare public appearance.
Making its debut at the Wings Over Houston Airshow, the KC-46A Pegasus will showcase advancements in aircraft design, such as refueling capabilities and innovative technology extending the operational limits of modern aircraft.
Headlining the event is the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, along with performances from the F-16 Viper Demo Team, the C-17 Globemaster lll, John and Shane McGillis, MiG-15 and ME-262 by Rick Sharpe, the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Vietnam War Tribute, the RE/MAX Skydiving Team, Tora! Tora! Tora!, U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight, and a U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue demonstration.
Other special elements of this year’s WOHA event include the Legends and Heroes tent, with presenting sponsor United Airlines, and the Veterans Business Marketplace, presented by Walmart.
