October is one of the driest months in Metro Atlanta, and October 2024 is no exception!
Heading into the weekend, there is a very good chance for clear skies during the Atlanta Air Show in Peachtree City October 26 and 27.
How Does Weather Impact the Atlanta Air Show? Is it Rain or Shine?
“Weather is a determining factor, in terms of cloud ceiling,” says Chris Dirato, Public Relations Officer of the Atlanta Air Show.
“The ceiling is the cloud deck. So there is a bright, sunshiny day show, a middle-cloud deck show, and a low show, or what’s known as a “flat show”.
“The event is rain or shine — check the website and/or Facebook page for real time information,” Dirato says.
Q & A with Major Bryce Turner, US Air Force Thunderbirds Pilot
During a planning event, I had the opportunity to talk with Major Bryce Turner of the US Air Force Thunderbirds about the steps he took to become a fighter pilot. In addition, we talked about how the different cloud levels affect the air show, and we discussed how he prepares for the added forces on his body when performing aerial loops, rolls, and formations.
