One of the last car shows of the season on the second Saturday in October, "Wings and Wheels" is an annual fund raiser conducted by the Museum of Aviation Foundation with a lot of help from several local car clubs and enthusiasts. The setting is the beautiful Museum of Aviation next to Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia. Profits go towards the growth and development of the Museum of Aviation, one of the largest education-focused aviation museums in America!
The first two Wings and Wheels shows were held in the late '80s when the museum only had one building. Today the museum has four air conditioned display buildings on 51 acres and over 100 aircraft and missiles on display. The entire Museum is open to the public on show day. Since 1995, the shows have been held yearly with between 200 and 275 vehicles entering the show.
Over the years, the shows have drawn cars, trucks and motorcycles from all over Georgia and surrounding states. New attractions have been added over the years like a $500 cash giveaway ($50 cash prize every 15 minutes), monster truck rides, displays of model aircraft and radio controlled models, and battery-operated kiddie car races.
The show and the Museum are free to the public and an estimated 8,000-10,000 spectators attend Wings and Wheels making it the largest one-day public-attended event held at the Museum each year. Oldies music is provided by Tommy Landrum, one of the best car show DJs in the southeast. All entrants receive a 10% discount to the unique Museum of Aviation Gift Shop and chances to win some nice door prizes.
