Aaron Tippin Aboard As
Commemorative Air Force Spokesman
NASHVILLE, Tenn./Midland, Texas (January 12, 2010)Country music
superstar Aaron Tippin and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) are
joining forces to Honor American Military Aviation and to remind
Americans of the men and women of the armed services who have
sacrificed for our freedoms.
Tippin will dedicate his time and talents as the 2010 CAF celebrity
spokesperson; his involvement will include special appearances at
various Commemorative Air Force events across the country, filming and
recording a number of public service announcements and a potential
cross-country tour in conjunction with CAF exhibitions is in the
works.
The Commemorative Air Force (headquartered in Midland, Texas) is an
all member-volunteer, 501c3 nonprofit organization established with a
multi-purpose objective: to acquire, restore and preserve in flying
condition a complete collection of combat aircraft flown by all United
States military services; to honor the service of those who fought in
flight, and educate the American public so that generations of
Americans will continue to value and support the contributions of
military aviation in assuring our nations freedom. The CAF is the
largest flying museum in the world, operating 156 vintage military
aircraft, and displaying them at air shows around the country, often
reenacting historic air battles featuring the actual period aircraft
in flight.
I am very excited about working with the CAF, Tippin states. As a son
of a pilot, a pilot myself and patriot, the mission of the
organization is especially important to me: acknowledging the history
of this great nation and the service men and women who make our
freedoms possible is stellar and Im happy to champion the
organizations efforts.
An airman himself, Aaron soloed his first flight on his 16th birthday.
He became a commercial multi-engine instrument-rated pilot by the age
of 18 and is also helicopter-qualified. A certified aircraft and power
plant mechanic, he owns a 1941 Stearman, a 1946 J3 Cub and 1959 Helio
Curior--all in flying condition.
As a supporter and frequent traveler to visit and perform for our
American brothers and sisters in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan each
year during the Thanksgiving Holiday, Tippin understands and has
experienced first-hand the importance of supporting our troops. Hes
made annual trips to spend time and visit with our forces in Iraq for
the past six consecutive years.
Over the past two years I have gotten to know Aaron personally and
have seen his commitment to our Armed Forces and his passion for
aviation, said Stephan Brown, President of the CAF. We are honored
that he has agreed to help us promote the Educational Mission of the
CAF. Like our CAF members, Aaron recognizes that we must remind
Americans of the sacrifices our Armed Forces have made and continue to
make, to ensure our freedoms. One of the more unique aspects of Aarons
role, will be his actual participation as a pilot in select CAF
vintage military aircraft. As a skilled aviator, he can walk the walk.
Over the past two decades, platinum recording artist Aaron Tippin has
become one of the most recognizable and influential voices in country
music. With 13 recorded CDs to his name and more than 30 charted
singles, he performs nearly 200 dates each year.
