I hope they decided to do it this year instead of canceling it again. Here's a little memorabilia from one of the past shows. (Cell phone pic.) May be a good chance of me attending.

That's the old pricing, I've been in contact with some of the people working the event.

I was trying to get us some passes, but they have an official photographer already and we can't get media passes since we arnt shooting for a publication. Here's some info the guy I talked to gave me.

Standing at the east end of the venue provides a great angle for routine takeoffs from "30" and in the afternoon, the sun is behind you. 

Then, on 14 Nov, we encourage you to monitor the website for arrival times and go over to the Kilroy Center and shoot the arrivals.  Many will be doing that.  On 17 Nov, the B-52 will be departing that morning as well (just confirmed).

Probably won't be able to make it but they are suppose to do various fly-bys around LA that week.  I wonder if there is any schdule of that and where?  Also is anyone departing that Sunday the show ends?
