CAF West Houston Squadron

Another great Airshow!

2008 Wings Over Houston® Airshow

October 25 & 26, 2008
at Ellington Field

Featuring the USAF Thunderbirds!

Thanks to all who attended!

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 five CAF aircraft assigned:

bulletNorth American Aircraft AT-6 "Texan"
bulletConsolidated-Vultee BT-13 "Valiant"
bulletNaval Aircraft Factory N3N "Yellow Peril"
bulletStinson S-108 "Voyager"
bulletLockheed C-60A "Lodestar"

Other squadron members also own warbirds, one of which (a North American SNJ) is based at our hangar.

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), one or two official "Open House" fly-in events at our hangar, and usually a couple of unofficial "open house" events when a distinguished visitor aircraft comes by.

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.
