DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. --  The Air Force announced Dec. 5 that Dobbins ARB and the Atlanta metro region were selected as one of the six locations to host "Air Force Week," Oct. 8-14, 2007.

Various activities will be scheduled around the Atlanta area and will conclude with the Great Georgia Airshow at Falcon Field in Peachtree City on Oct. 13-14.

The weeklong event gives citizens the opportunity to see and meet active-duty, Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard Airmen who are engaged in the Global War on Terror.
