Rome welcomes back Wings Over North Georgia Airshow Oct. 13,14; tickets available now

Airshow legends Michael Goulian, Patty Wagstaff, and Buck Roetman headline a field of the nation’s top aerobatic performers set to thrill audiences in the skies over Rome Oct. 13 and 14 during this year’s Wings Over North Georgia Air Show.

Goulian currently holds the lead position for the Red Bull Air Race series.

As a six-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, Patty Wagstaff has won gold, silver, and bronze medals in Olympic-level international aerobatic competitions.

Veteran pilot Buck Roetman’s bright yellow modified Christen Eagle is well known among airshow regulars. Two things set the plane apart from similar aircraft. The first is it’s Lycoming IO360 4-cylinder engine, built by Penn Yan Aero, and pumped up to 250 horsepower. The second is Buck’s 35 years of experience. He’s flown more than 105 types of airplanes, from Cubs to corporate jets, racking up more than 13,500 hours of flight time.
