This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

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!

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!

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.
