I went Sat only.

My day was like this:

1. Leave Long Beach at 5:15 am
2. Arrive 2 miles from ED West gate at 7:10 am, park car in line. (Gates opened at 7:20ish I later heard)
3. Park car on lakebed FINALLY at 9:15ish am.  (Find nearest porta potty in record time)
4. Arrive at F-35 at 9:45 am and start shooting
5. Shoot show all day
6. Get kicked out of hanger w/ rest of public after shooting F-35 at 5:30 pm
7. Get stuck in traffic forever on the lakebed.
8. 6:40 pmish - Get stuck even further (still on lakebed) when they decide to tow the X-47B mockup, F-35 AA-1, and Global Hawk back to hangers.
9.  7:00ish - Traffic is finally let go to exit base.
9. Exit Edwards Main Gate at 7:15 pm
10. Get home around 9:45 pm.

Long day.  But worth it.
