THIS IS HOW Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle

Space is a frontier. An opportunity for global leadership. Space is the future, and Orion and the Heavy Lift Space Launch System will take us there. Together these vehicles have the versatility to fl y “stepping stone” voyages of increasing scope and complexity — to the Moon, near-Earth objects, Mars and beyond. Human space exploration, near and far term. It’s all a question of how. And it’s the how that Lockheed Martin delivers.

2 Wings Over Houston 2011

Greetings!

2011 Wings Over Houston Airshow

As Mayor of Houston, I welcome all pilots, skydivers and spectators to the 2011 Wings Over Houston Airshow. This highly anticipated event will showcase vintage aircraft, aviation heroes and authentic military displays for individuals and families to enjoy.

This Airshow will not only highlight the most spectacular aircraft in aero-nautics, but most importantly it will benefit deserving charitable and non-profit organizations throughout the City of Houston. When it comes to giving back to the community the sky is no limit and each year the show makes our spirits soar.

I commend all the organizers and supporters of the 2011 Wings Over Houston Airshow for creating a world-class event to entertain and educate the Houston community. We appreciate your significant contributions and I extend my best wishes for an enjoyable event.

Sincerely,

Annise D. Parker Mayor

Welcome! This 27th Annual Wings Over Houston Airshow is presented by the Ghost Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force Gulf Coast Wing and West Houston Squadron and our sponsors whose support is invaluable.

The nearly 8,000 CAF members across the nation are dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of their Flying Museum of World War II aircraft. You will see some of these vintage planes, well preserved in excellent condition, flying in the Air Power Dem-onstration which begins about noon.

Your ticket to the Airshow helps make this possible. ©2011 Wings Over Houston Airshow Houston, Texas.

Wings Over Houston is a non-profit 501(C)(3), community event pro-duced by a volunteer effort of the Gulf Coast Wing and West Houston Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force.

The Airshow takes place on the ground as well as in the air, with both static and flying displays you won’t want to miss. For this reason, we open the Airshow at 8am and stay open until 5pm so you can take one last look at your favorite aircraft, or talk with its pilot and/or crew. Feel free to ask questions.

Exhibitors and concessionaires offer a wide variety of souvenirs, from programs, T-shirts, hats and posters, to food and beverages.

Your comments and/or suggestions are welcome and help the staff make decisions for future airshows. Address mail to Wings Over Houston Airshow, 17222 Groschke Rd., Houston, TX 77084.

Thank you for being here. Enjoy the show!

Physically Challenged See Special Show In Comfort

“We will create a roaring good start for this year’s special show.”

Designed to make it possible for the physically challenged to watch the airshow in comfort, the special show is just that

– Special. Many of the people who attend

come in wheelchairs, on gurneys, on walk-ers or crutches, but virtually all of them come with big smiles. They know they’re going to have a good time.

A tradition at Wings Over Houston, which began right along with the Air-

show itself, is the special show performed just for them.

In the beginning, this was intended to be a “practice” show for the acts on the schedule, but it has become one of the highlights of the airshow weekend. It also enables the handicapped to enjoy an un-

impeded view of the activities and to move in and out of the field without hindrance. Those making application to attend the special show are given a complimentary pass admitting them to Ellington Airport. Parking is made available close to the site, and doctors, medics, ambu-

lance and standby generators are available during the performance. Attendance is by invitation only, and those wanting to apply may write to Wings Over Houston Airshow for the Physically Challenged. More than 200 volunteers are on hand for the spe-cial show to assist in entertaining these VIP guests and to help make their visit espe-cially enjoyable. The 2011 Special Show is sponsored in part by United Space Alliance.

Airshow Benefits Local Area

One of Houston’s largest non-profit civic events, The Wings

Over Houston Airshow proceeds are used to sponsor the Wings Over Hous-ton Scholarship Program for college students studying for careers in avia-tion, Texas Southern University Sum-mer Aviation Program for high school juniors and seniors interested in avia-tion, Commemorative Air Force air-craft restoration and flying historical programs, Exchange Club of Sugar Land, and over 100 non-profit groups, some of which are written about in the following pages. Our Airshow is or-ganized as an educational event that provides community entertainment, celebrations of patriotism, military recruiting opportunities, and avia-tion awareness.

Wings Over Houston Airshow Thanks You For Your Support!

T hroughout metropolitan Houston, most of Texas and some of Louisiana and beyond, Wings Over Houston Airshow is strongly

supported by our individual fans, companies, and all types of media.

Without you the avid airshow fan, we would not have the benefit of supporting all the charitable organizations this show offers back to our community.

Management, news directors, editors of all types and others in television & radio stations, large & small newspapers and magazines in America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Netherlands, and many other parts of the world assist in the Airshow disseminating information about the show. The importance of their continuing interest and participation cannot be exaggerated; it is vital in so many ways.

Our special thanks to each individual member of the media who assist in anyway at all. Your stories not only help the Airshow, they also help Houston grow and prosper.

CAF Membership

Collecting flying warbirds for half a century, The Commemora-tive Air Force is the largest flying museum in the world. The CAF

is a nonprofit aviation association dedicated to Honoring American military Aviation through flight, exhibition and remembrance, by maintaining a flying museum of classic military aircraft.

The CAF has approximately 8,500 members and a fleet of more than 160 airplanes representing 60 different types of American and select foreign aircraft from military conflicts since World War II. The

aircraft are assigned to 74 CAF units across the country. These units, comprised of CAF members and volunteers, restore and operate the planes which are viewed by more than 10 million spectators annually.

More than just a collection of flyable warbirds, the Commemo-rative Air Force’s fleet of historic aircraft, known as the “Ghost Squadron,” recreate, remind and reinforce the lessons learned from the defining moments in American military aviation history. The demands of aerial combat drove the great technological advances in aviation that occurred during and after World War II. Many different types of aircraft were developed, often designed for very specific missions.

Members engage with the mission to protect these rare flying monuments to freedom. They keep them in flying condition, repair, rebuild and pilot these unique assets. Future generations will benefit from the CAF’s preservation efforts, educational programs, museum exhibits and airshows.

The Commemorative Air Force International Headquarters is located in Midland, Texas, along with the nationally-accredited CAF Airpower Museum. For more information please visit www.commemorativeairforce.org or call (877) 767-7175.

The West Houston Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force

The West Houston Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force was formed in 1981 and is based at West Houston Airport in

Houston, Texas. The Squadron operates and maintains five aircraft assigned to the unit by the CAF - a North American AT-6 advanced trainer, a Consolidated-Vultee BT-13 basic trainer, a Naval Aircraft Factory N3N primary trainer, a Stinson S-108 observation/liaison aircraft, and a Lockheed C-60A paratroop transport. The Squadron’s aircraft features a growing World War II museum, and hosts several activities each year, including public Open House events, educational tours for youth groups, veterans’ associations meetings and social events for a variety of professional and non-profit organizations.

An ongoing activity of the West Houston Squadron is the “America Trains for War” educational program. In this program, WHS air-craft and members visit area communities to educate elementary and middle school children about the role training aircraft, their manufacturers and instructor pilots played in World War II, help-ing to turn an essentially unprepared United States into the most dominating air power in the war.

Squadron members also participate in the Smithsonian-spon-sored Veteran’s History Project, where veterans of World War II tell of their stories, in their own words, for future generations.

For more information, visit the Squadron web site at http://www.westhoustonsqdn.org.

The Gulf Coast Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) is comprised of the B-17G TEXAS RAIDERS and the nationally recognized air show demon-

stration team of TORA TORA TORA. We are a non-profit, 501-c-3 organization whose mission is to honor American Military Aviation through flying history.

Throughout the year, the TORA group presents a living history lesson through a realistic re-creation of the December 7, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor to thou-sands of air show fans each year. Flying replica Japanese fighters and bombers through the smoke and fire of their pyrotechnic display, the TORA group pilots bring history alive in a way no other group can.

The Gulf Coast Wing lays claim to one of just 11 flyable B-17s remaining in the world today. The operational “Flying Fortress”, TEXAS RAIDERS, recently emerged from an eight-year restoration process, costing over $600,000. It has resumed touring through the U.S. in 2011, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first flight of the B-17.

To learn more about the Gulf Coast Wing and the CAF, or to become a member of our group, talk to any wing member at one of the PX locations during the air show or visit our web site at www.gulfcoastwing.org

Thank you for attending WINGS OVER HOUSTON. We hope you have enjoyed the Commemorative Air Force’s presentation of America’s rich aviation history.

Do you know what all of the words in the Pledge of Allegiance mean?

A pledge is a promise.

Allegiance means to be loyal or true.

The republic means the US government, a government in which the people elect their leaders.

Indivisible means something cannot be divided.

Liberty is freedom.

Justice is fairness.

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”


The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB Health) Aerospace Medicine Program is a partnership with the NASA-Johnson Space Center, FAA, and military to train physicians to support the aerospace industry and provide medical services for pilots and passengers. Twenty-four of our residency graduates have joined NASA or its contractors in direct support of the space program. Since 2003, sup-port through the Bioastronautics Contract at NASA has been provided to NASA-JSC medical operations in Houston, at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, and the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. These physicians are employed jointly by UTMB Health and Wyle Integrated Science and Engineering.

As part of their experience, the resident physicians on the aerospace medicine team provide medical support at a num-ber of major crowd events, including the Wings Over Houston Air Show. The UTMB Aerospace Medicine Center provides clinical aeromedical services for pilots, passengers, airlines, insurance providers and the aviation industry. Aerospace services also include medical certification and operational support for commercial orbital and suborbital spaceflight. UTMB physicians serve as the lead physicians for Virgin Ga-lactic and Space Adventures. UTMB clinical enterprises and the Aerospace Medicine Program are happy to support the Wings Over Houston Air Show and to wish it continued success.

For more information visit: http://pmch.utmb.edu

UTMB OPENED IN 1891 as the nation’s first public medical school and hospital under single governance. What began as one Galveston hospital and medical school is now a major academic health sciences center playing on a global stage, with medical, nursing, health professions, and graduate biomedical schools; a comprehensive health system with multiple clinics in the Houston/Galveston Bay Area; and a world-renowned research enterprise. Today, UTMB generates $1 billion of Texas business volume annually; more than 29,000 Texas jobs are directly or indirectly related to the university. UTMB became a full member of the revered Texas Medical Center in spring 2010, formalizing years of educational, clinical, and research collaborations with other member institutions.

UTMB serves the growing Bay Area with more than 25 primary and specialty care clinics on the mainland, including the new University Dermatology Center at Bay Colony, an imaging center in Pearland and the state-of-the-art UTMB Specialty Care Center at Victory Lakes. This outpatient specialty care and surgical center offers services in advanced imaging, outpatient surgery, breast health, obesity and metabolic surgery, orthopedics, and pelvic health and continence.

In the UTMB tradition of service, the university’s Aerospace Medicine Program began in 1993 as a partnership with NASA-Johnson Space Center. At that time, its mission was to support the U.S. space program by training resident physicians to conduct preventive and certification medical exams for pilots and other crewmembers. Today, the program boasts a Master of Public Health in Aerospace Medicine curriculum, and participating residents contribute to the development of protective equipment for crewmembers, conduct research protocols in all aspects of aerospace medicine, and are trained to function in environments as diverse as general aviation, private industry, government agencies, academic institutions and space flight. In addition, the program has provided physician support for NASA medical operations in Houston, the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia, and the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and has provided crew surgeons for commercial spaceflights to the International Space Station.

The UTMB Health System and Aerospace Medicine Program are proud to serve the Galveston/Houston Bay Area and feel privileged to provide medical support for the 2010 Wings Over Houston Air Show.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds’ mission is to

represent the professionalism, skill and teamwork of the Canadian Forces and to act as a platform for recruiting. The Snowbirds represent the values of esprit de corps, professionalism and service before self that are inherent in all members of the Canadian Forces. With their inspiring show, the Snowbirds also encourage young Canadians to consider a military career. Comprised of 85 Canadian Forces members, both Regular and Reserve Force, the Snowbirds represent all men and women in Canada’s military.

The TeamThe Snowbirds consists of two teams, the home team and the

show team. With nine show pilots, two coordinator pilots, the public affairs officer, 10 technicians, one supply technician and one mobile support equipment operator, the show team travels across North America, demonstrating the professionalism of the Canadian Forces with their inspiring show. The show team flies in 11 jets and travels in the Snowbirds’ mobile support vehicle, bringing their show to both large and small communities.

While the show team is deployed, the home team, led by the Snowbirds’ Deputy Commanding Officer, provides support to the deployed elements, continues training and ensures that the aircraft are flawlessly maintained. In the Snowbirds 40-year history, the team has never missed a show due to mechanical problems, a testament to the dedication and skill of the technicians.

creo


creo


The HistoryWith its roots beginning with the Golden Centennaires, an air dem-

onstration team that performed in honour of Canada’s Centennial in 1967, the Snowbirds have a proud and inspiring history of professional service to Canada.

The Snowbirds received their name as a result of a contest held at the Base Elementary School and flew for the first time on July 11, 1971 at the Saskatchewan Homecoming Airshow. As a tribute to their home province, Saskatchewan, the Snowbirds’ crest displays four speed birds, in formation, resembling an ear of wheat. The speed bird is also shown on the bottom of each Snowbird aircraft.

Military ExperienceThe Snowbirds are the only jet team in North America to perform with

nine jets flying in close formation. Requiring the highest degree of pilot-ing skill, the show pilots have on average 15 years of military experience and thousands of hours flying various aircraft in the Canadian Forces. Similarly, the Snowbird technicians are not only highly skilled and well trained, but they also demonstrate remarkable dedication and spirit of teamwork. Team members come from various military backgrounds and experience, including maritime patrol, maritime helicopter, tactical aviation, tactical fighter, transport and search and rescue squadrons.

creo


The CT-114 Tutor

The Snowbirds fly the CT-114 Tutor, a trainer jet built by Canadair in the 1960s, used for pilot training until 2000. A robust and maneuverable aircraft, the CT-114 Tutor jet is ideally suited to formation and aero-batic flying. With its relatively slow speed (maximum speed 412 knots), coupled with its maneuverability, the Tutor jet allows the Snowbirds to keep the formation flying di-rectly in front of the spectators. Similarly, with regards to maintenance, the Tutor is a robust, well-built jet that is relatively easy to maintain, allowing the technicians to ensure that all jets are ready to fly an average of two missions daily.

The 7,170-pound Tutor jet is only slightly modified with a smoke generating system, a distinct red and white paint scheme and a highly tuned engine. The smoke generating system provides beautiful smoke trails, but, more importantly, allows the pilots to better identify the jets and their flight direction. The Snowbirds’ professionalism and skill, coupled with the Tutor’s maneuverability and reliabil-ity, make for a beautiful and exciting show.

creo


creo


The 431 Air Demonstration Squadron consists of approximately 80 Canadian Forces personnel, 24 of whom comprise the show team that travels during the show season. The Snowbirds’ demanding schedule is met through the dedicated teamwork of not only the eleven military pilots and technicians, but also the entire home team.

The Shuttle Legacy: Lessons for the FutureOver the past three decades, America’s Space Shuttle

Program earned a permanent and prominent place in the annals of spaceflight history.

More than 500 men and women from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, from many different backgrounds have reached orbit on the Shuttle. The fleet also carried more than half the mass of all payloads launched by all nations since Sputnik in 1957, and it brought back from orbit more than 97 percent of all mass returned to Earth.

However, the true legacy of the Shuttle cannot be

measured by the number of people it carried or in the pounds of payload it launched. The Shuttle’s true legacy will be the thousands of lessons learned and benefits gained from its service.

With each flight, the Space Shuttle laid the groundwork for the next mission and set the stepping stones in place for expanding human reach and influence beyond Earth.

The Shuttle taught us about operating in space.

Engineering and technological advances were required in its development that resulted in discoveries benefiting aviation and other industries now.

Hundreds of scientific experiments were conducted on the Shuttle in life science, fluid physics, materials science, biotechnology, combustion science and commercial space processing. These taught us more about how our bodies and those of other organisms function. These lessons are being used to better understand osteoporosis, weakened immune systems and other ailments here on Earth as well as helping to keep current and future astronauts safer and healthier in space.

We have learned about our planet, its land masses, oceans, our atmosphere and the environment as a whole. The data recorded

helped engineers and scientists develop safer navigation techniques and better communication systems.

continuted on page 28

creo

Three interplanetary crafts were launched from Shuttles to study Venus, Jupiter, and the Sun. Shuttles also

deployed important observatories into space, notabley, the Hubble Space Telescope.

Since its deployment, Hubble has returned incredible images that have revolutionized nearly all areas of current astronomical research from planetary science to cosmology. The Shuttle’s role in the success of Hubble is undisputed. Not only did Discovery carry the telescope to orbit, but servicing missions upgraded its instruments and prolonged its scientific life. The last servicing mission in May 2009 made the telescope 100 times more powerful than when it was launched.

Perhaps as important as any element of the Shuttle legacy is the development of international cooperation in space. Cold War enemies became partners in space. The Shuttle’s visits to the Russian space station Mir laid the groundwork for cooperation we see today aboard the International Space Station. Such partnerships will humans

greater potential for space exploration and development that any single nation could achieve alone.

The Shuttle has been a source of inspiration, fostering the desire for untold numbers of students to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. Some are motivated by the dream of being an astronaut themselves. Others are motivated by the prospect of advancing human knowledge and understanding of our place in the cosmos.

We have yet to know all there is to learn from the Shuttle Program. It will be difficult to capture its

full legacy, a legacy that has and will continue to benefit humanity for years to come.

United Space Alliance has been proud to support the Space Shuttle Program as NASA’s prime contractor for the past 15 years. We wish to say thank you to the men and women who dedicated their careers to the safety and mission success of our nation’s most incredible flying machine.


“Our objective is to carry the lessonsand legacy of the Tuskegee Airmeninto every classroom in America!”

Don Hinz, Red Tail Squadron Founder

The CAF Red Tail Squadron uses two unique educational tools to help tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen: a rare red-tailed P-51C Mustang fighter, and the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit.

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit travels to air shows with the Mustang, it can also go to schools, youth-oriented organizations and other venues. Taking the story of the Tuskegee Airmen directly to those who will benefit from it the most helps the Squadron fulfill its educational mission.

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit is a fully func-tional movie theater housed in a 53’ semi trailer with expand able sides. Visitors sit in climate-controlled comfort and watch the original movie “RISE ABOVE” on a 160-degree curved screen that really brings the movie to life. A hydraulic lift ensures that even those with physical challenges can enjoy the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit experience.

“Our objective is to carry the lessonsand legacy of the Tuskegee Airmeninto every classroom in America!”

Don Hinz, Red Tail Squadron Founder

The CAF Red Tail Squadron uses two unique educational tools to help tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen: a rare red-tailed P-51C Mustang fighter, and the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit.

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit travels to air shows with the Mustang, it can also go to schools, youth-oriented organizations and other venues. Taking the story of the Tuskegee Airmen directly to those who will benefit from it the most helps the Squadron fulfill its educational mission.

The RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit is a fully func-tional movie theater housed in a 53’ semi trailer with expand able sides. Visitors sit in climate-controlled comfort and watch the original movie “RISE ABOVE” on a 160-degree curved screen that really brings the movie to life. A hydraulic lift ensures that even those with physical challenges can enjoy the RISE ABOVE Traveling Exhibit experience.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was the first very heavy bomber built for the United States Army

Air Forces.When the Commemorative Air Force be-gan searching for a B-29 for our collection of WWII aircraft, the war had been over for 21 years. The Superforts that helped end it had long since yielded to new generations of jet-powered strategic bombers, and vanished.

In 1971, a pilot reported sighting a number of B-29s on the California desert near China Lake. The Superforts had been parked at a Navy weapons center for 17 years, used for gunnery targets and abused by heat, sand and vandals. After much negotiation, much paper-work and a pain-staking process of elimination to find the best survivor, the CAF became the owner of B-29 SN44-62070.

Today, FIFI is the only flying B-29 left.

Out on the taxiway you can hear the deafening roar of an engine and see billowing clouds of smoke. You can feel the reverberations of mini sonic booms. You look up and realize it’s not an aircraft. In front of you is the Air Force Reserve Jet Car preparing to accelerate. At the end of the runway the jet car comes to a standstill. An airplane above has challenged driver Bill Braack to a race. Bill is signaled by his crew member Erik Ricketts, that the aircraft is directly overhead. He kicks in the afterburner and accelerates the jet car – he races at speeds approaching 400 mph and overtakes the plane in seconds! He waves to the on-lookers as he’s towed back to the taxiway and display area, where the crew are available to sign autographs and talk with the crowd.Air Force Reserve recruiters are also available at Wings Over Houston to talk about the Reserve Program and the benefits of joining.

Pyrotechnics… Real As Well As Entertaining

The explosions and fire of warfare are devastating. But when the CAF recreates various WWII battles or participates in modern military

exhibitions, the explosions are real as well as entertaining!

The CAF “Explosives Ordinance Detachment” (EOD) – one of the organization’s most elite – will recreate the bombings, napalm and strafing runs you will see today.

The CAF began depicting WWII air battles in the early 1960’s. When the organization began developing these events, they realized that the only way to obtain realism was through the use of explosives.

The EOD was formed in 1981 to ensure that a safe, well-trained, approved team was always available for air power demonstrations. CAF EOD members are among the most experienced at airshow pyrotechnics today. Together, the crew at Ellington is considered “world class” in airshow pyrotechnics and special effects. For the Ellington show, the EOD’s day will begin at 7:30 A.M, laying out explosives. Conventional seismic explosives are used in controlled quantities to get the precise

creo


effect desired. During the course of the show, as many as 30 crew members will set up nearly 1000 pounds of high explosives and 1000 gallons of gasoline to achieve the bombing effects you will see.

The Marshalling Detachment “To Serve and Protect”

Anytime two airplanes are moving on the ramp at the same time, there is a need for control. Then, add

dozens of aircraft and thousands of spectators. That’s a situation that confronts the CAF each time it presents the World War II Air Power Demonstration.

So, each time the CAF is called upon to perform in the air, the Marshalling Detachment is in action on the ground. Marshallers, or “ramp traffic controllers”, direct the move-ment of each aircraft as it arrives and departs from the ramp area, providing a safe environment for pilot and aircraft on the ground as well as for spectators. Extremely high standards make the orange suits reserved for Marshallers a highly-respected uniform.

It’s not an easy job for any Marshaller. A typical day be-gins with “Dawn Patrol” to launch the never-ending photo missions for the press corps, maintenance test flights and flight evaluation for pilot proficiency. Then come the hectic few hours of the airshow itself. It is frequently dusk before the last prop spins down. Yet, each hour the Marshallers are tirelessly on duty to assure a smooth, efficient, safe accident-free airshow. Our sincere thanks to each one of them!

The Security Team…“Courteous Assistance”

In addition to the Marshallers, another group of CAF members is on duty to direct and assist spectators on

the ramp. The Security Team, recognized by their red caps and arm bands, is assigned the job of supervising personnel movement on the ramp.

The most important job for the Security Team is making sure that airshow spectators are kept safe distances from areas where aircraft are moving on the ground. They may also be asked to oversee entrance gates, ticket booths or other sensitive areas. As with the Marshallers, the day begins at first light and doesn’t end until the last visitor reluctantly leaves the ramp to resume his every day life.

The dedication of Security Team members is as strong as in any other CAF group. Theirs is frequently a thankless job, but they carry it out with pride; and we appreciate their hard work on our behalf!

Please warn your children in advance that there will be some very loud

noises followed by smoke and fire.

Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force General John Jumper: “The Heritage

Flight represents the power and strength of America-past and present-to all seeking solace

in a world of fear and uncertainty.” The USAF Heritage Flight program was established in 1997 in support of the Air Force’s 50th anniver-sary. It involves today’s state-of-the-art fighters flying in close formation with World War II and Korean War vintage fighters such as the P-51 Mustang and the F-86 Sabre. Its mission is to safely and proudly display the evolution of United States Air Force Airpower and to

support the Air Force’s recruiting and retention efforts. Only 18 men are allowed in this program by Air Force regulation. The modern Air Force fighters are piloted by the six Air Combat Command single-ship demonstration team pilots in the A-10, F-15 and F-16. The warbirds are piloted by 12 civil-ians, all outstanding pilots with a passion for flying.

Heritage Flight

The Red Bull Air Force are jumpers to be reckoned with. The team members travel all over the world as part of the Red Bull Team and perform solo and team skydiving jumps into stadiums, raceparks, concerts, and any other venue that has open skies and lots of people. They also get their adrenaline rush from performing BASE jumps from buildings and cliffs. The Red Bull Air Force members especially love to perform in their “squirrel suits” – winged jump suits – which provide maximum airtime and freedom of flight experience.

Coast Guard Air Station Houston was established at Ellington Field in 1963. The station initially operated Sikorsky

H52A’s and today operates the Aerospatiale MH65C “Dol-phin” helicopter which carries a crew of four (Pilot, Co-pilot, Flight Mechanic, and Rescue Swimmer) and has an offshore range of 150 nautical miles. If necessary, the range can be extended to 300 nautical miles through the use of aviation fuel available on several offshore oil platforms. Air Station Houston’s operating area extends from

Coast Guard Air Station HoustonMatagorda Bay, TX to White Lake, La. Each year the station responds to an average of 175 Search and Rescue cases. This

station also conducts frequent Homeland Security patrols and provides helicopter crews

to support counter-

drug deployments on Coast Guard cutters throughout

the Caribbean. During Hurricane IKE; the third most destructive hurricane in U.S. history, Air

Station Houston along with other Coast Guard assets rescued 253 personnel. The aircraft and crews you will see at Wings over Houston proudly serve to uphold the Coast Guard’s core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty. WE are Guardians and as our motto states, “SEMPER PARATUS” –Always Ready!

Navy Legacy Flight

Heavy Metal Jet Team

The Navy had an informal demonstration team, flying Grumman Hellcats, during the early 1940’s, but at the Cleveland Air Races in 1946 the Navy’s new official

demonstration team, The Blue Angels, thrilled crowds in their new Grumman Bearcats. Since then, the Blue Angels have gone on to perform for millions at air shows all over the country. And now, the Navy Legacy Flight program ties the aircraft from those early days with the modern fighters of today.

Heavy Metal Jet Team will be dedicating its first season on the North American air show circuit in 2011 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The team’s members and United Bank

Card representatives will be working with local Make-A-Wish® chapters at the air shows and other venues where the team will be appearing to raise awareness of the organization’s work and promote its efforts to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Bill Silverman served in the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1964. He joined the CAF in 1984 and started volunteering for the Wings Over Houston that same year. His face was a familiar one at every show. Bill handled the placement of all the vendors and pitched in wherever needed. Over the years, the most frequently asked question at the airshow became “Where’s Bill?” Bill was the son-in-law of the founder of the West Houston Squadron, Col. Pete Howard…otherwise known as “Thunderchicken”.

June Robinson - June has long supported the WOH show, attending her first show with her husband Rodney in 1988. Early on, she supported the pyro efforts of the show by going across the field and working with the pyro crew. Most recently, she had found the role of “Gramma” to be her support

of choice. She tended to the needs of her grandchildren as her own children and husband worked across the field continu-ing to do pyro. She always made sure that the babies saw the show and told stories of what it was like taking their parents to shows just like it.

Craig Salerno joined The Wings Over Houston Airshow Staff back in 1997. Af-ter working with Ground Operations, he became involved with Jet Team Admin-istration. In 1999 he became respon-sible for one of the most crucial needs of the teams, which is an extensive list of maintenance items. Craig has done an exemplary job every single year for our jet teams, and as a result, The Blue

Angels, Thunderbirds and Canadian Forces Snowbirds have enjoyed many flawless performances in Houston.

Craig was an avid pilot as well as an accomplished photographer. He be-came involved with the Commemora-tive Air Force’s famed Tora-Tora-Tora flying group based in Houston. He and his wife sponsored a Kate Torpedo Bomber, and Craig had the opportunity

to fly with Tora from Coast to coast. On Friday, September 16th Craig

was tragically taken from us while at-tending the Reno Air Races in Reno, Nevada. Craig leaves behind his beauti-ful wife, two young children and many, many friends. He will be greatly missed. Blue skies, Craig!
