Hobby Airport has some, the Collings B-25 used to be there. There is also a gate Guardian on Hwy 3, across from Ellington Field. This is an F-84. Ellington is waaaay South of Houston, though.

If you are North, go to Conroe, where there are several warbirds owned by Jim Rozzell; T-6, C-45, a couple others I don't remember. There is also a TXANG unit there, with Apaches. If you exit I-45 North in Conroe, from the feeder road, close to a Luby's restaurant, you will be able to see a memorial to the Viet Nam vets, and there is a neat UH-1H there.

Arcola, also way south of Houston, may or may not (depending on the day, and time) show up some aircraft outside hangars.

West Houston Airport, hosts the Confederate (not commemorative in my book) Air Force West Houston Squadron, but they are usually open only on weekends.

If you can travel, go South to Galveston and visit the Lone Star Flight Museum.

I wish I'd was more specific, but this is all I can recall right now.

Saludos, and enjoy hot and humid Houston!
