The Wings and Wheels Air Show has been held annually each September since 1932 as the Birmingham District's premier event dedicated to aviation held at the Shelby County Airport. The show features a wide array of stunt pilots and unique aircraft.

2006 Show

Although marred by tragedy when a deadly plane crash claimed the lives of three, the 74th show did feature a number of acts. Some of these of local interest included:

  • Birmingham native Greg Koontz performing stunts with his Super Decathlon aircraft
  • The nation's only female professional skywriter, Suzanne Asbury-Oliver, spelled "Airshow" over downtown Birmingham to advertise the show on Friday, September 22, 2006
