ROME, Georgia — The 2021 Wings Over North Georgia Drive-In Air Show will take flight at the Russell Regional Airport (KRMG) Oct. 30-31. Headlining the show are the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force ACC A-10 Thunderbolt II Demonstration Team.
COVID-19 restrictions in 2020 forced JLC Air Show Management to create guidelines and a format that allowed for social distancing or face the risk of cancellation. The result was a drive-in format, officials explained.
“Air show attendees embraced and enjoyed the new approach which provided a 10-by-20-foot spot for a vehicle with an adjacent 10-by-20-foot space for enjoying the air show in a tail-gate fashion with friends and family,” officials noted. “As a result of positive feedback, the decision was made to continue to utilize the drive-in style air show in 2021 with an added hill-top patio section offering a table, chairs, and umbrella for parties of six.
Additional acts include the U.S. Army SOCOM Black Daggers, U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster II, Scott Farnsworth Aerosports Racing Team, Michael Goulian, Mike Wiskus, Greg Koontz, Scott “Scooter” Yoak in the P-51 Mustang, and Jerry “Jive” Kirby in the T-28 Mad Dog.
Tickets must be purchased online in advance. No tickets will be sold on the day of the air show.
