Warbirds Flyover Team

“Ladies and gentlemen, performing today’s aerial tribute is The Warbirds Flyover Team.  Specializing in precision formation, The Warbirds are led by former Naval Carrier aviator and combat veteran, Hank Gibson of Jacksonville, Florida.  A Naval Academy graduate, he flew the A-7 Corsair and FA-18 Hornet strike aircraft and has arrested landings aboard 7 different aircraft carriers.  Now a corporate pilot, Hank and his team perform National Anthem flyovers for the NFL, NCAA, NASCAR, PGA and other corporate entities and Veteran’s groups.

Team members are all veterans of the uniformed services and truly understand the dedication and sacrifice that our men and women are making daily worldwide.

Flying the post-World War II Nanchang CJ-6 and YAK-52, the popular radial engine powered military trainers which we call the “trophies of the Cold War” make the crowd pleasing distinctive rumble of yesteryear and make a terrific formation platform.

Today we celebrate the freedom of flight and honor all of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our great nation and way of life.  The other pilots today are Richard Langer from Ocala, Florida –  Jimmy Burke from Lawrenceville, Ga – Matt Lazar from Carrolton, GA and Wayne Altman from Savannah, GA.

Special Forces Association Parachute Team

A brotherhood that honors the fallen because Freedom is Not Free!
The Special Forces Parachute Team originally known as the Green Beret Parachute Club was formed in 1961.
The Quiet Professional
When we think about our soldiers, few of us consider what their sacrifices really mean. Missed births and birthdays. Missed anniversaries and holidays. Missed soccer games and school plays. Everyday moments with husbands, wives and their children are missed.
We have been doing professional parachute demonstrations for 54 years.

Tennessee-born troubadour Larry Fleet grew up on a stack of records spanning Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, and Marvin Gaye. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for a one-liner, an ear for a sturdy hook, and a powerhouse voice that strikes like a match, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs to make ends meet long before landing his recording contract with Big Loud Records. Seven years in, the devout family man is turning heads among fans and critics with albums full of soon-to-be-classics; 2021’s tribute to the music that raised him, Stack of Records, his aptly titled 2019 debut, Workin’ Hard, and his third effort featuring current single “Things I Take For Granted,” Earned It, out now. Saving Country Music puts it simply: “If you’re looking for the future of traditional country music, then look no further than…Larry Fleet.” A road-tested live show standout, he recently wrapped his headlining The Earned It Tour. With crowd-winning opening slots under his belt supporting Darius Rucker, Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Billy Currington, Morgan Wallen and more, Fleet is set to join Jon Pardi’s Mr. Saturday Night Tour this fall.
