Blue Angels to Perform at Wings Over Georgia

75th Anniversary Routine Flying Oct. 30-31

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are headlining the ninth annual Wings Over North Georgia Drive-in Air Show this week, their only 2021 appearance in the state. This season is a special year, as the team celebrates their 75th anniversary.

Due to the record breaking attendance for their 2017 performance, tickets are required, and selling quickly. 

One pilot on the team will return to his home state, flying the Number 6 aircraft for the Angels’ routine as the opposing solo pilot. Lieutenant Commander Cary Rickoff, a graduate of Atlanta’s Riverwood High, joined the Blue Angels in 2018 and has logged more than 2,000 hours and 180+ carrier landings throughout his flying career.

The Angels will be joined by the A-10 Thunderbolt II Demonstration Team, outfitted with a special, limited time Vietnam-era camouflage scheme to honor veterans of the conflict. Also appearing will be the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Black Daggers Parachute Team, the C-17 Globemaster III Demonstration Team, Scott Farnsworth Aerosports Team, Michael Goulian, Mike Wiskus, Greg Koontz, Larry Kelly in the B-25 Mitchell, Scott "Scooter" Yoak in his P-51 Mustang, and Jerry "Jive" Kirby in his T-28 Mad Dog.

Parking opens at 0900 with pre-show demonstrations starting at 1000 on Saturday and Sunday.

Airdrops from Dobbins Air Reserve Base C-130H, formation flying by the Full Throttle Airshow Team, and a SWAT demo from the GA State Patrol helicopter unit will entertain visitors while final air show preparations are made, until the show starts at noon. 

Tickets are sold via advance purchase only, with no provision for day-of ticket sales. Maps, directions, and varying levels of pricing and accommodation are listed on the event website.
