21ST ANNUAL WINGS AND WHEELS CAR,
TRUCK AND MOTORCYCLE SHOW
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2013

 

The 2013 Wings and Wheels Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show will be held at the Museum of Aviation on Saturday, October 12. Last year, a replica of one of the iconic Batmobiles headlined the show where more than 268 vehicles and 5,000 spectators attended the 20th annual show. It was one of 114 vehicles that went away with a trophy. The day-long event put on by the Museum of Aviation Foundation is the largest public–attended event held at the Museum each year.

The Batman tribute replica was built by U.S. Air Force SMSgt Jack Orrell stationed with the 461st Air Control Wing at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. It's equipped with air bag suspension, an electrical actuated canopy, electrical actuated 1919A4 replica machine guns, a lighted turbine/afterburner, a back-up camera system and a DVD player with 2 LCD screens. It took Orrell more than 6 years to build the 20-foot long replica on a 1975 Chevrolet Impala chassis. It has a 305 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 motor in it and a new 700R4 Automatic Chevrolet transmission.

Orrell also brought the only taxi cab returned to the United States from the iconic "Captain America: First Avenger" movie. The 1937 Chevy Master Sedan taxi cab is featured during the Heinz Kruger chase scene following Steve Roger's transformation into the "Super Soldier." Two other 461st Control Wing airmen from Robins Air Force Base dressed in costume supported the display: MSgt Evelardo Deleon as Batman and Senior Airmanm Jordan Guzman as Captain erica.

The 2013 year show will again feature monster truck rides, car and food vendors, a cars-for-sale corral, kiddie car races for ages 3-8, a car and truck model display and a silent auction. In conjuction with the show, a poker fun run will be held on Friday October 11 by the Corvettes Ltd. of Central Georgia car club to raise additional money for the Museum of Aviation. Any type car, truck or motorcycle is invited to take part in the fun run which will feature cash prizes for the best three poker hands and a large 50/50 pot. The event concludes at Steak and Shake in Warner Robins with a DJ and additional door prizes.

"We appreciate the long-time support of so many businesses, organizations, clubs and individuals that have made the Wings and Wheels shows so successful over the last two decades to help the Museum of Aviation." said Show Chairman Bob Dubiel. "Each year approximately 30 to 40 sponsors support the show and we couldn’t do it without them.”

The winner of the Commander’s Choice Trophy last year was selected by Colonel Mitch Butikofer, Commander of the 78th Air Base Wings and Robins Air Force Base. He chose a 1968 Ford Mustang owned by Kenny Derr. Colonel Butikofer presented all the awards along with help from Miss Warner Robins, Charlene Dibeau, a senior at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro.

Wings and Wheels annually draws cars from all over the state of Georgia and often gets cars from adjoining states.  Last year three car owners from Tallahassee and Orange Park, Florida took home special awards. The Warner Robins Convention and Visitors Bureau presented a gift basket to Ceasar Lee from Venice, FL for traveling the farthest to the show – 433 miles.
