By The Way, We Drank The Wine After The Flight Excerpt:  National TV Spotlight Is On Belmont You people are so smart. More than a dozen got the answer right to Friday's Brad trivia question: Which country singer flies airplanes and makes his own wine? It is indeed Aaron Tippin, who owns several planes and lots of land and a municipal airport and some vineyards. Aaron was kind enough to fly me around in an old-school two-seat open cockpit plane and then serve me some spicy white zinfandel kinda wine. (I'm sure I butchered the names/descriptions of both the plane and the wine, but you get the idea.) A special shout out here to Aaron's faboo songwriting wife, Thea, who made some crazy Greek meatballs for dinner. Aaron's an excellent pilot, but I went around all day beforehand predicting a terrible accident because I was afraid I would exceed the plane's weight limit. Tennessean music writer Peter Cooper, always happy to quash my ego, came up with this headline should tragedy have struck: ''COUNTRY SUPERSTAR AARON TIPPIN IN PLANE CRASH (Also, columnist).'' ### This article is available online at: http://tennessean.com/celebrities/archives/03/10/40735685.shtml?Element_ID=40735685 Saturday, 10/11/03 Morsels Excerpt:  The Brand-New New Year's Eve Headliner Is...
