Don't Miss It!

The annual “Wings Over Wine Country” Air Show, on August 15-16, 2009 at the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. If you haven't ever been to this event in past years, this is a good year to come. This year’s show will feature military jet demonstrations, precision aerobatic flying, vintage warbirds, static aircraft displays, aviation memorabilia and more. Among this year’s featured acts are aerobatic pilots Gene Soucy and Greg Poe, wingwalker Theresa Stokes and the F/A-18 Super Hornet demonstration.

The Air Force as Navy will provide exhibitions of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, the C-17 Globemaster III and the F/A-18 Super Hornet jet aircraft. The USAF West Coast A-10 Demonstration Team will demonstrate the A-10. The C-17 will be making its fourth appearance thanks to the C-17 Demonstration Team from the 452nd Air Mobility Wing from March Air Force Base. Navy Strike Fighter Squadron 122 Flying Eagles (VFA-122) based at NAS Lemoore, Calif. will demonstrate the capabilities of the F/A-18F Super Hornet. The Air Force is also tentatively scheduled to provide flybys with the USAF U-2 and T-38 aircraft as well.

An extensive world class aerobatic line-up includes Gene Soucy flying his Showcat, Greg Poe in his MX-2, Dan Buchanan with a lively routine in his NorthWing Hang Glider and more.

A special part of the Wings Over Wine Country air show each year is the presence of a dozen or more vintage warbirds that take flight. These aircraft provide nostalgic high speed passes and participate in a “Heritage Flights” with USAF aircraft and “Legacy Flights” with Navy aircraft to honor those who served in the United States Armed Forces.
