Traditional Style AIRSHOW Returns IN 2021!
We’re back to a traditional style airshow (ground displays, vendors, exhibits) with no masking restrictions. That said, if people want to wear a mask, that’s cool. With masks optional, we kindly request you respect the personal decisions of others. As with all CAF Wings Over Houston Airshows, our number one priority is your safety!
This year you will get to experience not one, but TWO military jet demonstration teams … the United States Air Force Thunderbirds and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds! Plus, a bevy of some of the best military and civilian pilots in the world, flying for you … including, an extraordinary line up of historic vintage aircraft!
Our goal is to provide you the best air show experience possible at a range of price points. Ticket types include everything from an affordable day of aviation thrills for the whole family to an ultra-premium air show experience. There’s something for everyone and families! Please look for pricing details at launch on Thursday.
*** Friday (ONLY) – “Military Might!” Drive-In Airshow – Friday (ONLY) ***
Based on the 2020 drive-in show and your 2021 pre-show feedback, people loved the drive-in experience. So here’s what we’re doing for 2021.
This year’s 2021 Airshow will feature a Friday afternoon Military-Might! drive-in style show. Friday, October 8th, we will open up part of our ramp to anyone interested in the drive-in air show experience. Picture a tailgate, but with airplanes! Gates will open at 2 PM, and flying will begin somewhere around 3 PM and go approximately to 6 PM. Both military jet teams and the F-22 will be flying for you, plus a few more surprises! .
Tickets for Friday’s drive-in will include a parking spot and an area directly next to your vehicle to “tailgate”. No grills or glass are allowed, but you are welcome to bring food and drinks, coolers, chairs and standard umbrellas (no beach umbrellas, please). There will not be access to the ground display aircraft ramp on Friday, but you will have an excellent seat for a GREAT military-heavy show.
As in 2020, drive-in tickets are per car and up to 6 people per vehicle. There will be food and drinks available for purchase and vendors selling hats, shirts, earplugs, etc. This is a fun and relaxed way to start the Airshow weekend off. Come out and enjoy an intimate, up-close show with all of the best the US and Canadian military have to offer. Based on limitations, only 210 guaranteed tickets are available – Buy now before they sell out! We will have a limited amount of grass parking spaces to sell the week of the show if the weather gods allow. The only guaranteed tickets are on concrete (210 of them). Get them now before they go!

What is the biggest difference between “eagle squadron” and “family chalet”
Family Chalet includes complementary admission for children 5 and Under for FREE, with an accompanying Adult Family Chalet ticket. Children 6-14 will need a Child’s Family Chalet ticket, with an accompanying Adult Family Chalet ticket. Eagle Squadron includes VIP parking, VIP restrooms, an airshow goodie bag (hat, poster and program), and open beverage bar (wine and beer). Family Chalet does not include VIP parking or restrooms, goodie bag, or complementary wine or beer service. Family Chalet is a more affordable price for larger families, while still providing an up close experience to the show. There will be free food and non-alcoholic drinks provided in the Family Chalet, as well as children’s activities. We hope this helps you make a decision on which to choose.
The EAGLE SQUADRON AGE QUESTION
Numerous people have asked, “does everyone, regardless of age, need to purchase an Eagle Squadron ticket?” The answer is yes. This is because of the per person catering cost. And, because alcohol is being served. It is also the biggest reason for the creation of the Family Chalet.
If You Have ANY Ticket Purchase Issues, After Launch
If you have any issues with your ticket purchase, AFTER 12:00 PM (Noon) on Thursday, June 17th, please contact our ticket service provider EventSprout at info@eventsprout.com. We need to emphasize that EventSprout will only be able to help you AFTER tickets launch at noon on Thursday, June 17th. EventSprout customer service representatives are great at helping our airshow customers.
General Admission Ticket = Huge Value
To create a very affordable family airshow experience, we’re keeping our 2019 General Admission ticket policy. One 2021 General Admission ticket will include admission for one Adult and up to six Children (Children age 14 and under are FREE with an accompanying Adult General Admission ticket purchase) for a very reasonable price.
Business Class Tickets
On the adult side of the spectrum, we’re bringing back Business Class tickets. This Adult only (21 & Older) ticket is an ultra-premium VIP airshow experience. Amenities include an air conditioned tent to get out of the heat, top-shelf open bar, table service, performer meet and greet, and behind the scene air show tours. Business Class will also include a delicious menu of exquisitely catered food served throughout the day. To maintain the best experience possible in Business Class, we’re limiting the number of tickets to 300 tickets per day.
Very Limited Discount Ticket Quantities (INSIDER ONLY) & Time-frame
Once ticket purchases exceed a certain threshold OR after the ticket launch ends on Monday, June 21st, prices will increase. Again, deep ticket discounts are limited by time and quantity. So please don’t miss your chance to SAVE BIG!
Here are the deep discount ticket limits:
- GA Tickets – 3000 Tickets at up to 50% OFF*
- Eagle Squadron Tickets – 200 Tickets at up to 50% OFF*
- Business Class Tickets – 75 Tickets at up to 50% OFF*

Please Note: No Ticket Refunds
Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds on airshow tickets. Rest assured, though, that the airshow is a rain-or-shine event. You should know that all performers have high, low and flat shows that can safely accommodate for different types of weather. There are also going to be amazing display aircraft on the ground.
Aircraft and performers are subject to change without notice, due to operational considerations. If anything changes, we will do our best to let you know. Thank you!
