Decision Made To Continue To Utilize The Drive-In Style Air Show Format

Some more good news on the airshow front... The 2021 Wings Over North Georgia Drive-In Air Show will take flight at the Russell Regional Airport in Rome, GA on Oct. 30-31. The event will feature headlining performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force ACC A-10 Thunderbolt II Demonstration Team.
