ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. --  Tops In Blue performed its 2007 edition musical show "The Fly By" at Motlow State Community College, Aug. 2, in the gymnasium. 

The show commemorated 60 years of Air Force history through a high-tech multimedia extravaganza. The show visually and musically wound its way through six decades of history with historical footage laced with songs from each era. 

Tops In Blue features music from almost every genre and decade, as we are reminded of the music of each era our Airmen enjoyed. 

As the Fifties move to the Sixties, Dick Clark brings our Airmen's favorite music to life with songs like "Where the Boys Are" by Connie Francis, Chubby Checker's "The Twist," and smooth Motown sounds from groups like The Temptations and The Supremes.
1960s and 1970s songs like songs from country music legends like Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn and "Disco Inferno," "Car Wash" and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."
Songs from the 1980s like "Fantasy" and the "Star Wars Theme Song" highlight the new technological age of the Air Force. 

The show's conclusion honored the men and women who have served with a patriotic finale with the song "We'll Be There," and also payed a special tribute to military families with Tops In Blue's rendition of  "They Also Serve." 

Arnold Engineering Development Center's Honor Guard presented the colors for the event.
