Country singer Aaron Tippin joined Hollywood luminaries including Harrison Ford and John Travolta on Jan. 19 for the 15th annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Los Angeles.  During the event, Tippin, as well as wife Thea and son Tom, performed two of Tippin’s career hits, “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” and “You’ve Got To Stand for Something.”

“What an honor to get to hang out with Harrison Ford and John Travolta at the ‘Living Legends of Aviation Awards,'” says Tippin. “The coolest thing about both of them is that they love aviation as much as I do, so, of course, that’s what we talked about all night.”

The “Living Legends of Aviation” annual awards gala is the most prestigious recognition event in aviation. Travolta, “The Official Ambassador of Aviation,” hosted the event, while Ford was in attendance to present the Harrison Ford Aviation Legacy Award to accomplished pilot Peter Paul Luce.
