Air Show gates open at 8:00 am and there is usually a line forming by them. Flying starts at 11:00 so try to arrive early to the show. Walk around and check out all the aircraft and have a look at the booths and displays.

Also on hand are modern fighter jets, military vehicles old and new, Kids Zone, vendors, and food booths.
