Wings Over Houston 2021

The jets were screaming over our neighborhood during the pre-show tailgate preview on Friday. It was as if they were telling us to be sure and come see them for the real show on Saturday and Sunday. I didn’t realize it was that time of year. The weekend of the Wings Over Houston Air Show. I always look forward to the impressive power and maneuverability of the fighter planes and the historic preservation of the vintage aircraft.

This year the precision of the Canadian Snowbird planes was impressive to watch. The speed of the Russian Mig jet was as always a spectacle.

The C17 is a Massive beast.

I did not get tickets to the show so I set up at a nearby park and shot pics and video as the planes flew overhead.

The USAF Thunderbirds were the finale. Their precision high speed maneuvers stole the show as usual. I must say I really enjoyed the entire show and will be purchasing a ticket next year! I am amazed by the engineering feats accomplished that allow the U.S. to dominate any airspace. Even today with the F-35 you can see the continuing technological innovation.

If you have not seen this show before treat yourself next year. If you missed this year’s show, you can make yourself some popcorn and watch the video I put together on your smart tv. It lasts about 18 minutes and shows most of the planes that were in the show.

I hope you enjoy it! God bless you and thanks for reading my blog!
