"Tom Barnes,

wing leader of Atlanta's Dixie Wing, CAF, has

been working since December 1998 to secure the

team, and we're confident that their performance

will help us draw record crowds that will boost

revenues for the local charities that the air

show supports," he added.

Wings Over Dixie

`99, which was Sept. 11-12, featured four solid

hours of air performances each day, and included

demonstrations by military fighter jets, a B-1

bomber, by aerobatic teams such as

airshowunlimited.com and more. This year,

organizers say the lineup will be bigger and

better, highlighted by the addition of the

Snowbirds.

"The Snowbirds

are rated as one of the top military aerobatic

teams in the world, putting them in the company

of the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds,"

said Tom Barnes. "This will be the first

time in more than 12 years that the Atlanta area

will have an opportunity to see an aerobatic

performance of this caliber."
