18TH ANNUAL WARBIRD WEEKEND<br />
APRIL 18TH-19TH<br />
The world-famous CAF B-17 Flying Fortress Texas Raiders will be headlining the 18 th annual<br />
Warbird Weekend <strong>April</strong> 18 th -19 th at the West Houston Airport in Houston, TX. The B-17 Texas<br />
Raiders, along with the only flying SB2C dive-bomber Helldiver, replica Japanese Zeros from<br />
the TORA TORA TORA performance unit and the Vietnam era CH-46 “Sea Knight” helicopter<br />
will all be in attendance. Various WWII warbirds will be on display and available for public<br />
flights and visiting aircraft will offer cockpit tours for the entire weekend.<br />
For the past 18 years, Warbird Weekend has emerged as one of the most entertaining annual<br />
World War II and 1940s themed events in Houston. It is a can’t-miss experience for anyone<br />
who enjoys nostalgia, historic aircraft and military vehicles and antique cars. Families will also<br />
enjoy re-enactors from the 6 th Cavalry in authentic uniforms with restored ground vehicles<br />
and an anti-aircraft gun mount from the Battleship Texas. Local vocal artist Maria Thorne<br />
will perform Big Band standards from the 1940s both days. Warbird Weekend is an excellent<br />
way to honor the heroes of the Greatest Generation and educate all ages about the WWII<br />
experience and the technology of aviation.<br />
The admission fee is $20 per car at the gate. Proceeds from the event help fund facility<br />
operations and the restoration and operation of the Houston Wing aircraft. Join us on<br />
