The band Restless Heart is celebrating 33 years together.

“It’s the original five guys. That doesn’t happen very often,” lead singer Larry Stewart said. “It’s hard to keep the original guys for 30 years.”

The Country Music Association award-winning artists will perform a selection of their 28 top 100 hits including “When She Cries,” “I’ll Still be Loving You” and “Tell Me What You Dream” at the 2016 Aviation Heritage Park Hangar Party.

“We realized it was our 10th anniversary, so we decided to go big. We’re planning a big party,” AHP President Bob Pitchford said. “We transfer the hangar to the coolest party venue in Bowling Green for one night every year.”

The Hangar Party, “Big Dreams in a Small Town,” will be June 18 at the Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport at 1000 Woodhurst St. Gates open at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 p.m. Restless Heart will take the stage at 7 p.m. Local band Bueler’s Day Off starts at 8 p.m. and continues until 10 p.m. The evening includes a barbecue dinner, unlimited beverages and aircraft displays.

Tickets are $40 each for adults and $15 for children ages 6-12. Children 5 and under receive free admission. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door, but event organizers are expecting to sell out. Tickets may be purchased at Ford’s Furniture, 1701 Scottsville Road or 213 N.L. Rogers Wells Blvd.; Nat’s Outdoor Sports, 1121 Wilkinson Trace; any Chuck’s Liquor Outlet; Barbara Stewart Interiors, 444 E. Main Ave.; or online at www.aviationheritagepark.com. The 2016 Hangar Party title sponsor is SpanTech.

“Tickets are limited,” Pitchford said. “We can sell 650 tickets. About half of those are spoken for already.”

The proceeds go to a good cause, Pitchford said.

“It goes to the continuous preservation efforts not only to aircraft we currently have, but also to aircraft we plan to acquire in the future,” he said.

The party will feature four distinguished aircraft – a P-51 Mustang Warbird, a Beech 18 Warbird, a Spartan Executive flown by entrepreneur and aviator Howard Hughes and a Piper Club.

“We’ll use (the Piper Club) to honor Willa Brown Chapel, the first African-American woman to hold a pilot’s license in the United States,” Pitchford said. “She is from Glasgow. She trained Tuskegee Airmen in World War II.”

The Spartan Executive was also special, Pitchford said.

“That Spartan Executive was one of 34 ever built,” he said. “It’s a 1930s vintage aircraft. It’s fully restored and beautiful.”

AHP’s next acquisition is a UH-1 Hughey helicopter, Pitchford said.

“We’ve just received confirmation that we’ve gotten one,” he said. “It will be honoring an aviator in Bowling Green we know about, but it’s a secret.”

The party is done through the work of AHP’s all-volunteer board of directors, Pitchford said.

“They’re dedicated people who not only love aviation, but are dedicated to preserving stories of southcentral Kentucky aviators for future generations,” he said.

Stewart is looking forward to coming to Bowling Green.

“Everything we do now is done around hitting the road and getting to sing together,” he said. “We don’t feel the pressure to get on the radio.”

Other members of the band are drummer John Dittrich, lead guitarist Greg Jennings, keyboardist Dave Innis and bass player Paul Gregg. Everybody does vocals. The band had seven No. 1 hits and 14 top 10s from 1985 to 1992, Stewart said.

“We love to hit the stage together. It never gets old,” he said. “We just feel very blessed to be able to do that.”

The band has released a remake of the Glen Campbell classic “Wichita Lineman.” They will release an extended video in the next couple of weeks. The song is available at iTunes and amazon.com. The current video is available at restlessheartband.com and youtube.com.
