Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! No, wait, it actually is a plane.

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! No, wait, it actually is a plane. This and many other planes will be a part of the Dobbins Air Show 2010, formally known as the Wings Over Atlanta Airshow 2010.

The Air show will be held at the Dobbins Air Reserve Base for the entire weekend, the two day event will begin at 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Admissions are free and the event will also feature various types of planes in all sorts of formations. The event is family-friendly but the organizers are trying to get permission to sell beer for the adults. According to The Marietta Daily Journal Lt. Col. Steve Drosos, director of the show, said Monday he and other show organizers would like to sell beer to patrons, "as most air shows do," but that final approval will come from Col. Timothy Tarchick at Dobbins "sometime soon."

Two of the main performers in the show will be the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Canadian Snowbirds. The show will also serve as a special homecoming for two members of the Blue Angels in their final year with the team. The No. 1 pilot and flight commander, Cmdr. Greg McWherter, and the Lead Solo, Lt. Cmdr. Frank Weisser, are both from the Metro Atlanta area.

The show will also include civilian aerobatic acts, static displays and interactive demos free of charge to the public. Raymond Larkins, who is a fan of the airshow for a few years stated, “This airshow should the most exciting it has ever been because they have never had two jet teams perform in one show.”

The show is more than just entertainment for the public; it is also a breath-taking display of discipline, precision skill -- and a true demonstration of trust. Igor Sikorsky said it best when he said, “Aeronautics was neither an industry nor a science. It was a miracle.”
