The 40th WOHA Had Something for Everyone!
The 2024 edition of the Wings Over Houston Airshow (WOHA) drew over 120,000 people to Ellington Field southeast of Houston over two warm-to-hot but CAVU days. At this, the 40th annual WOHA, fans were enthralled by everything from the RE/MAX Skydiving Team, which opened each day’s show from above with our National Anthem while being circled by the Nextgen Eagles, to the headliners of the event, the US Air Force F-16C Viper Demo Team and the US Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron (AKA the Blue Angels). From open to close both days there was always something good to see, hear, eat, or buy.
The Quick List:
Radio controlled aircraft demonstrations prior to show open

“Me-262 Project” replica Me-262B-1c is registered as N262AZ. The Me 262 Project built five flyable Me-262s- the first of which flew in 2002. The project concluded with completion of the flight test program and delivery of the fifth and final replica in 2012. The aircraft are actually powered by General Electric CJ610 turbojet engines, cunningly concealed inside detailed reproductions of the original Junkers Jumo 004B engines and nacelles.
