Seeing that the Collings F-4 flew today makes me wonder what Warbirds will be flying at Wings Over Houston this year?

Hopefully the F-4! :supz:

We have known for a while that the Collings F-4D was planned as a performer in this October's WoH show. With the F-4, F-100, TA-4F and several other vintage jets planned it should be the best Houston show since at least 2014!

This show and next week's Selfridge, Michigan (F-4D will be there too) show should be the best vintage jet weekend shows in North America this year.

That's fantastic! I may have to think more seriously about attending this year.

Off topic, but yes, the Selfridge show looks well worth attending this year. It will be quite a pageant of military aviation history with the Great War planes and Jenny, a P-39, P-40, at least 5 P-51s including the Horsemen, Vampire, F-86, F-100, Mig-17, F-4, F-16 (T-birds), F-18, F-35 (static). I originally planned to go just because I am visiting family in the area, but as the performer list has mounted, I'm more interested in the show for its own sake.

For a short while they listed Vintage Wings of Canada's new Y2-K Spitfire as attending, which really spiked my adrenaline, but they have replaced it with the Hurricane. I can live with that.
