Golden Rules for Airshow Attendance?

[sithrity]

The second and third items I make sure are in the bag after the airshow tickets, are sunglasses and headache tablets.

If I have even three hours of squint face, I'm ruined.

Well the first thing that goes in my backpack is my disapproving expression and a plentiful supply of passive aggressive tuts, eye rolls and head shaking. These usually come in very handy at a show if someone comes and stands in front of me, or if a swarm unruly infants decides to use my patch as a climbing frame.

Be nice. The rest will take care of itself

I always freeze a bottle of water before an airshow - as it melts you have an ice cold drink with you the whole day.

Always.......and I've also started to use PackIt freezable lunch bags...............also available in camo

Remember to ensure all your spare camera batteries are fully charged and/or that you have a sufficient quantity of spare disposable batteries for your scanner , etc.
And very importantly.....remember to then pack the aforementioned batteries in the camera bag you're taking with you !

Oh , and if you've got several cameras , ensure that you pack the correct spare batteries for the camera(s) you're taking with you !

Failure to do either of these will result in this.......and you'll feeling like doing this.....

Get yourself a motorbike for minimal queuing to get in purposes!

Take a flag.....not EU

Take an axe/machete....to cut down any flags people have erected if they're over 6' high......
