JLC AirShow Management today announced that the Wings Over North Georgia Air Show has confirmed the special appearance of the Red, White and Loud Tour concert featuring country sensation Aaron Tippin with the historic B-25 “Devil Dog” aircraft.

The concert will take place Richard B. Russell Regional Airport on Friday, September 28 after the Performer Kick-Off Party and Twilight Air Show Preview featuring several of the performers from the weekend air show.

Gates open at noon on September 28, and Aaron Tippin will perform at approximately 8:30 PM. Advance Performer Kick-Off Party or General Admission tickets are both available online, where purchasers will receive a full day’s worth of family entertainment including the Aaron Tippin concert.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds and Black Diamond Jet Teams will headline the Saturday and Sunday, September 29 & 30 lineup at Richard B. Russell (Tower Field) Regional Airport in Rome, Georgia.

The Snowbirds and Black Diamond will not perform at the twilight air show on Friday, September 28. In addition to the air show, the Smoke-n-Thunder Barbeque Classic™ and Smoke-n-Thunder Auto Show™ will also take place all three days of the show.

The Red, White and Loud Tour concert will kick off Friday night, September 28 after the twilight air show concludes with the arrival of Aaron Tippin and the B-25 “Devil Dog”. The audience will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Aaron Tippin perform such songs as “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagles Fly” and “You’ve Got to Stand for Something” in front of one of America’s historic and heroic warbirds. The concert is coordinated by the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) and provides the audience with an exclusive, patriotic performance to celebrate America’s freedom through song and the roaring radial engines of some of the world’s most famous warbirds. The B-25 “Devil Dog” will appear at the air show with Aaron Tippin.

Not only is Aaron Tippin a platinum recording artist with more than 30 charted singles, but he is also a highly experienced airman. He became a commercial multi-engine instrument-rated pilot by the age of 18, and he owns a 1941 Stearman, a 1946 J3 Cub, 1959 Helio Curior and 1943 SNJ-4 nicknamed “Greek Freek”.

“As a son of a pilot, a pilot myself and a patriot, the mission is important to me,” said Tippin. “Acknowledging the history of this great nation and the service men and women who make our freedoms possible is stellar and I’m happy to champion the organization’s efforts.”

The B-25 “Devil Dog” is a bomber aircraft that was used by the U.S. Marine Corps in WWII. Originally designed for the U.S. Army Air Corp, the B-25 “Devil Dog” was used by the Marine Corps for “night heckling”, anti-shipping missions and close air support of beachheads and landings. The “Devil Dog” represents a PBJ-1J (patrol bomber) of the VMB 612 squadron. The bomber will be available for guided tours during the air show.

Advance purchase tickets for the air show and Friday night concert are now on sale at www.WingsOverNorthGeorgia.com along with a current list of performers and attractions. The show can also be found on Facebook.
