The West Houston Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force is based at West Houston Airport, in Houston, Texas, USA. We are a squadron of the West Texas Wing of the CAF. The Squadron has six CAF aircraft assigned:
 | Lockheed C-60A "Lodestar" |
| North American AT-6 "Texan" |
| Consolidated-Vultee BT-13 "Valiant" |
| Naval Aircraft Factory N3N "Yellow Peril" |
| Stinson S-108 "Voyager" |
| and a major restoration project, a North American L-17 Navion |
Major events for the squadron each year include the Wings Over Houston® Airshow (which we conduct along with the CAF Gulf Coast Wing and with strong support from the Lone Star Flight Museum), a spring "Open House" event at our hangar, and an occasional "informal open house" when a distinguished visitor aircraft comes by.
Our museum, which is focused on WWII aviation, is open the first and third Saturday of each month from 10AM to 3PM.
Our aircraft travel to several airshows each year, including the annual CAF AIRSHO® at CAF Headquarters in Midland, Texas. WHS aircraft are also frequent participants in flyovers for veteran's memorials and sporting events in the Houston area.
