Wings Over Wine Country 2009 Air Show

Santa Rosa, Calif., July 31, 2009 Join the PACIFIC COAST AIR MUSEUM (PCAM) for a weekend of outstanding flying and fun in beautiful Northern California wine country at the annual “Wings Over Wine Country” Air Show, to be held August 15-16, 2009 at the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, Calif. This year’s show features famed air show announcer Rob Reider, military jet demonstrations, precision aerobatic flying, vintage warbirds and more. Among this year’s featured acts are aerobatic pilots Gene Soucy and Greg Poe, Team Rocket, wingwalker Teresa Stokes, Dan Buchanan with a lively routine in his NorthWing Hang Glider, the C-17 Globemaster III and an A-10 fighter demonstration. The Air National Guard will open the show Saturday with F-16 flybys. The Air Force is also tentatively scheduled to provide flybys with the USAF U-2 and T-38 aircraft as well.

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 to honor those who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Special events for 2009 include the Performer’s reception Friday August 14 and the President’s Club access during the air show. These options provide enhanced access to performers and the air show to make your experience more memorable. See our website for details.

Gates open both days at 9:00 a.m. for pre-show activities, including radio controlled model aircraft demonstrations. The main Air Show events kick off at 11:00 a.m. Discount advance tickets can be purchased at the Museum and Sonoma County Round Table Pizza locations. Tickets may be purchased at www.WingsOverWineCountry.org. Convenience charges may apply.
