Wings Over North Georgia Air Show Proceeds Without Blue Angels After Shutdown

Organizers attribute the Blue Angels’ absence to the federal shutdown.

Overview

  • The three-day event runs Oct. 17–19 at Rome’s Richard B. Russell Regional Airport following this year’s expansion to include Friday programming.
  • Friday’s kickoff features twilight flying, a debut drone show, live music by the Kurt Thomas Band, and a fireworks finale.
  • Organizers say the show goes on with a full slate of civilian performers, with aerial acts and family activities continuing Saturday and Sunday.
  • Current ticket holders will receive a discount code valid for a future Wings Over North Georgia air show in Rome.
  • Scheduled performers include Redline Airshows, the Chuters Skydiving Team, Bob Carlton’s Fox Jet Sailplane, Kyle Fowler’s Long EZ, Buck Roetman’s Pitts, Jive Kerby’s T-28, Scott Yoak’s P-51 Mustang, Jim Tobul’s F4U Corsair, and vintage attractions such as the B-25 “Panchito.”
