Whoa...are you going?  Man I would love to go to this.  Did you check out the $40/$50 photographer passes?  I was trying to figure out the difference between the 40/50 versions.  With the $25 parking fee included it sounds really reasonable.  Maybe we could connect here John?  I would probably want to go Saturday since Sunday is Halloween.

Hey Roy.  I did check on the photo passes (I was told that these go fast) - right now I do not know if I am going (it is fairly close by) -- I have a hard enough time figuring out what is happening next weekend.  I went several years ago (Thunderbirds were the highlight) and had a good time (the traffic at the end of the air-show was really bad).

I'm getting serious temptations for this.  I'm in a quandary which package to buy...photo pit or static photo tour.  Seems these are good deals ($50/$40 with a parking pass)  Heck you pay $25 for parking anyway.

I'll be there with a photo friend Saturday in the Photo Pit.

I hope you get some great shots, Roy.  It looks like I'll probably be in Georgia that weekend - I am hoping to get field access for a college football game.

Thanks John...just turned this into an overnight stay...we are now doing the 7am to 9am static photo tour and the event photo pit...should have gigs of shots after this one

Fantastic!  I'll look forward to your images.  When I was there a few years ago, I used my 100-400mm lens for the air show -- used a monopod to help support it and used the fastest shutter speed possible (those jets fly very fast).

I'll have a 100-400L too with a mono-pod.
