The U.S. Navy will demonstrate the amazing capabilities of the F-18 Super Hornet VFA-122. A very special tribute will recognize the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid in World War II and honor the last living Raider, Lt. Col Dick Cole. The U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force, will feature a World War II-era P-47 Thunderbolt and the modern A-10 Thunderbolt. Aerobatic pilots Elias Corey with Suzuki Airshows and Michael Wiskus of Lucas Oil Airshows will make Wings Over Houston debuts. Fan favorite Tora! Tora! Tora! returns with their explosive reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. These are only a few of the performances scheduled. Fans also will be able to see up close a large number of vintage and modern military aircraft, meet distinguished ace pilots and other veterans, and enjoy numerous exhibits and activities.
