AIR SHOW TIPS
Remember
The Air Show covers a lot of ground, be prepared for lots of walking.
Safety and Security First
  • NO COOLERS! Anybody with a cooler will be turned back at the gate.
  • All air show visitors and their bags are subject to search while at McGuire.
  • There is a no smoking rule on the flight line which is strictly enforced.
  • Observe all signs, including the ones that say "do not touch" - they're there for a reason.
  • Do not touch any aircraft unless you're invited to do so by the aircrew and never climb on the planes.
  • Some aircraft on display are open for tours. Don't let this opportunity to explore these airplanes pass you by.
  • Trip hazards are everywhere. Watch for tent ropes and aircraft tie-down chains. They appear out of nowhere. Also, watch for other people. The flight line gets crowded.
  • Do not attempt to cross the crowd fencing - this is a show stopper!
  • Remember that trash can be sucked up into the aircraft engines, damaging the aircraft and endangering the pilot's life. Please keep the flight line litter-free by using the trash receptacles provided for your convenience.
  • No bicycles, skates - including inline skates - or skateboards. The flight line gets too crowded for people on wheels to be maneuvering through the masses.
  • Pets are not permitted on the flight line. Service animals being used for special needs are permitted on the flight line.
First Aid
  • Drink plenty of fluids, especially if the day is a sunny, warm, spring day.
  • Apply sunscreen often, especially to small children. Temperatures on the flight line typically are higher than normal. Bring a hat - most people forget about the sun beating down on the tops of their heads.
  • Take time out to rest during the day. With the excitement, you could become fatigued.
  • A first aid tent will be set up at a yet to be determined location.
Lost and Found
  • A lost and found/information booth will be set at a yet to be determined location to report lost children. Announcements will be made over the public address system. Bring found items or report lost items to the lost and found/information tent.
Information on the Air Show is found here:

Air Show Flights Begin at Approximately 11 am and extend to 4:30 pm

Looking for more cars. Hope to see you there! Central NJ gatherings are rare! Don't miss out. Personal invites sent to most of you. Look forward to seeing lots of cars there. Need to finalize the number of cars for the Diner. Post here and let me know.

If you saw the news, the Fort Dix Army Base was targeted for attack by terrorists. As you may know, Fort Dix is right next to McGuire AFB, the gathering for this Saturday. Show your pride in our country, don't be scared by the terrorists and support our troops.

Available Vipers should gather for the Support Our Troops run to show support for the armed service personnel. Saturday is your chance to show your true colors!!!

Sign up today.

Agreed, that was a very good show and great to meet everyone.....now if only they could arrange some empty runway time for us to have some un-policed fun for 3 miles or so.

Thanks PatentLaw for putting this together!

Regards,
Aaron

Aaron, it was my pleasure. Everyone got somewhat scared about parking on the grass. Fortunately negotiation skills are a strong point. Pictures to be posted later.

Nice ACR AFL!

And you should have seen how dirty MY car was after the event. Pollen city. Nice taking the back roads, however.

Jay and Plaw, it was my pleasure to spend time with you and everyone else. I am planning on attending our carting outing this Friday in Maywood and the BBQ put on by Tator's up in Saratoga, NY on Sunday....hopefully, I'll see you both again at both events. As for my ACR, with the "to do list" I have planned, I'm happy she still looked even presentable, I just wish the original owner had kept those ACR rims and I'd already finished chroming them.....ahhh but such is the love for a car, she's never perfect in her owner's eyes.....and if she is, she needs a new sister to work on.

Regards,
Aaron
