Oceana 2018
If you are planning to attend this show please take note.
Unless you are press or joining the free "Jet Fans" package, you will be limited to a small/medium camera shoulder bag and a maximum lens focal length of 200mm - anything else will be refused entry.
Otherwise, your bag must fit in the X-Ray machine.

The only thing I can see is in the FAQ’s, which say only photo limitation is for no photography inside hangars.

They didn`t seem to know what they we doing last year, i did Saturday am with small lens for static only and had no issues nor did i see any restrictions and went back Sunday with a 100-400 for flying and got in without issue, I was aware of people being refused access with long lens though
seems different gates were working to different rules which were changing daily

Had heard some stories about larger lenses get knocked back at the entrance, let’s just hope it is just Oceana that’s gas this rule.

Re: Oceana air show
What's the point, other than to make money (I presume the jet passes are not free)? Do they even try to pretend it's for some other reason?

Doesn't say they are any extra anywhere I can see, nor is there any "Jet Fan Pass" ticketing option.
Any people going to this airshow will need to pay heed to the deadline of 31st August to send in your registration forms:
Sounds like a security thing rather than a money thing.

200mm seems arbitrary, as there are 300mm zooms that are well smaller than e.g. 70-200mm f2.8's. If it is actually about security, then if it fits in belt pouch then what's the problem (as medium shoulder bags are ok)? They might be wanting to limit numbers (or at least know numbers in advance) of items to x-ray.

It is very strange because if you are press or pick up the jet fan option there are no restrictions on what size lens you can bring in

Did you read the form? You give them your ID well in advance (e.g. passport and visa no), so they can check you against the 'terrorist' list etc. Apparently they aren't confident they can hide everything in a hangar beyond the reach of say a 300mm with a 1.4x?
