Our mission is to promote positive support for the 118th Wing and the Tennessee Air National Guard by providing accurate, relevant and timely information to our members, their families, and to our local community, state and nation.

Flyover and Static Display Requests
All flyover and static aircraft requests will be processed through the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events Office. Please do not contact any specific unit directly for aircraft support.

As a general rule, flyover requests are supported for Patriotic Holidays or for Open House and Air Shows only. If a request does not satisfy one of these requirements, justification must show a significant contribution toward military appreciation.

For all flyover requests, a DD Form 2535 must be filled out online at www.airshows.pa.hq.af.mil no later than 30 days prior to the event. Once applications are received, requestors will receive an e-mail with further instructions. Requesters will be required to get many signatures, complete the application and fax the application back to Aerial Events. Once the complete application is received, it will be reviewed and routed for higher approval.

Once a determination is made, requesters will receive an e-mail at the address provided on the application.

If your unit or event has received an approval from the U.S. Air Force Aerial Events Office and you are interested in receiving aircraft support from the Tennessee Air National Guard, please contact:

Tennessee Joint Force Headquarters
Phone: (615) 313-0633
E-mail

JFHQ-TN Public Affairs will coordinate with the applicable unit to determine if an aircraft is available to support the flyover or static display request. Once coordination with the unit is complete, and JFHQ-TN Public Affairs will notify the requester of the final determination.

If the Tennessee Air National Guard is unable to support an event, requesters are encouraged to contact other Air National Guard, Air Reserve or Air Force Bases within their region.

The 118th Wing can provide speakers for Veteran's Day, Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day public observances, and can also provide speakers for many other appropriate public events. Air National Guard personnel can speak on a wide variety of topics including: Military Support to Civil Authorities, Military Avaition, Leadership, Education Opportunities, Family Readiness and Support, Military Law, Military History, Military Medicine, Public Relations, and Journalism.

Instructions for Requesting Military Support:
Please keep in mind that the 118th Wing is a part-time force training and serving our nation and state in a time of war. In order to support an event, requests must be submitted up to 90-days prior to the date of your event. We try to fulfill as many of these requests as possible; however, operational commitments take priority and may supersede a request with little advance notice. All requests for assistance must be submitted on the proper Department of Defense form, which you will find below.

To request assistance please fill out the DD Form 2536 then email that to the 118th Wing Public Affairs inbox.
