ITEMS TO BRING AND NOT TO
BRING |
Portable chairs are highly recommended at the
airshow. Temperatures can get very hot some years, so please come
prepared. Having a chair to sit on during the performances will help.
Sunscreen is highly recommended.
Please check the weather in advance to see if it will be a hot or cold
day.
In the event of a cold day, be sure to bring a warm jacket.
Umbrellas are allowed, however we ask that you be thoughtful of the
people behind you and their view of the airshow when setting them
up. Water will be available for purchase at the airshow, however,
having some water bottles with you is recommended. Cameras and
Camcorders are welcomed and encouraged!
Please do not bring coolers into the airshow. Alcohol will be sold
inside the airshow and is not permitted to be brought in from outside
sources.

PARKING AND SHUTTLE TRAMS |
Be prepared for long lines to park. Getting
early in line before the gates open is recommended. No matter what
direction you are coming to the Airport, you will see signs & volunteers
directing you to the parking area. There is Handicap parking
available. The main parking lot area is out in a grassy dirt field on
the Airport premises, and while we try to keep the dust to a minimum,
please be prepared for your car to get a little dirty. There is a
shuttle tram service that makes round trips from the parking area to the
Airshow Hotramp entrance. You are free to walk if you'd rather not ride
the tram or if lines are long, however it can be a lengthy walk and may
seem even longer if the weather is very hot.
There are several viewing areas to watch the
aircraft flying throughout the day. The main viewing area is the main
airshow viewing line where the Vendors and static aircraft are located.
Aircraft will taxi right past the crowd and this area provides a very
long stretch of easy viewing with very little distractions.
Also keep in mind that shortly before the flying begins the Hotramp,
where
all the aircraft that will be performing in the airshow are located,
will be closed due to safety precautions. Once the Airshow has finished
and the aircraft collected and parked, the Hotramp will reopen. For the
best light, it is recommended to visit the Hotramp around 9am.
If you have a question not
answered here, we invite you to
