According to this article, the USAF A-10 Demo Team will be attending.
In addition to new features, a fan favorite will return for the 2022 air show. Rising Fawn, GA native Maj. Haden “Gator” Fulham and his team of 10 crew members will present the A-10 Thunderbolt II Demonstration. Based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, the performance is one of the most unique and powerful demonstrations in the air show industry. The aircraft is versatile with rapid roll rates, low and high-speed maneuverability, and short takeoffs and landings. These attributes make it an invaluable asset during combat missions. The jet is designed for close-air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, attacking armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft to serve the U.S. Air Force designed solely for CAS.

Website doesn't have viper listed anymore. That's gonna suck if they swapped it out for the A-10. We haven't had some good afterburner on Saturday at Rome in awhile (T-Birds and Viper in 2020 and Blues in 2021 all cancelled due to weather).

Looks like they'll be flying a formation aerobatic act here! Not sure what will be flying (SIAI Marchettis or L-39s).

Stay safe,

It's going to be the SIAI Marchetti S.211.
The Qyon Aerosports Demonstration Team also will make a first-time appearance during the 10th anniversary show. Led by pilot Scott Farnsworth, the team of two Marchetti S-211 jets will showcase the features of this military training aircraft. The Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine produces 2,500 pounds of thrust, a top speed of 414 knots, and a climb rate of 4,199 feet per minute. The jet has two cabins with identical cockpits in a tandem configuration. Only 60 of these aircraft were produced for use by the Republic of Singapore Air Force, Philippine Air Force, and Haitian Air Force.
Also, tickets are on sale now.
Tickets for the Air Show are now available at https://www.wingsovernorthgeorgia.com/g ... et-options. Tickets must be purchased online and in advance as no tickets will be sold on the day of the air show performances. For additional show information, follow the air show’s Facebook page or visit the Wings Over North Georgia website at https://www.WingsOverNorthGeorgia.com.

Just some info on the new QYON team I received from Scott. He'll be flying lead (as expected) and Jerry 'Jive' Kerby will be on the right wing. Scott's looking to get a third member for the left wing but I'm not sure if he'll get this done in time for WONG.

Stay safe,
Josh Walker

Finally..... Saturday isn't going to get rained out! :lol: Last Saturday show that didn't get rained out was in 2018. T-Birds and Blues had to cancel in both 2020 and 2021.
