[b]FOOD AND VENDORS [/b] 
Every year there are a vast assortment of food and merchandise vendors at the Airshow.  Food ranges from Hot Dogs, Pizza, Shaved Ice, Sodas, and much more in our Food court area near the tower and assorted snack vendors located throughout the airshow.

Merchandise vendors, selling everything from Aviation toys, prints, clothing, books, memorabilia, & more will be on hand.  You can often even find vendors selling portable chairs and umbrellas if needed.

[b]ITEMS TO BRING AND NOT TO BRING [/b] 
Portable chairs are highly recommended at the airshow.  Temperatures can get very hot some years, so please come prepared. Having a chair to sit on during the performances will help. Sunscreen is highly recommended. 
 
Please check the weather in advance to see if it will be a hot or cold day. In the event of a cold day, be sure to bring a warm jacket.
 
 Umbrellas are allowed, however we ask that you be thoughtful of the people behind you and their view of the airshow when setting them up.  Water will be available for purchase at the airshow, however, having some water bottles with you is recommended.  Cameras and Camcorders are welcomed and encouraged! 
 
Please do not bring coolers into the airshow. Alcohol will be sold inside the airshow and is not permitted to be brought in from outside sources.

[b]PARKING AND SHUTTLE TRAMS[/b] 
Be prepared for long lines to park. Getting early in line before the gates open is recommended.  No matter what direction you are coming to the Airport, you will see signs & volunteers directing you to the parking area. There is Handicap parking available.  The main parking lot area is out in a grassy dirt field on the Airport premises, and while we try to keep the dust to a minimum, please be prepared for your car to get a little dirty. There is a shuttle tram service that makes round trips from the parking area to the Airshow Hotramp entrance.  You are free to walk if you'd rather not ride the tram or if lines are long, however it can be a lengthy walk and may seem even longer if the weather is very hot.
 
[b]VIEWING LOCATIONS[/b] 
There are several viewing areas to watch the aircraft flying throughout the day.  The main viewing area is the main airshow viewing line where the Vendors and static aircraft are located.  Aircraft will taxi right past the crowd and this area provides a very long stretch of easy viewing with very little distractions. 
 
Also keep in mind that shortly before the flying begins the Hotramp, where all the aircraft that will be performing in the airshow are located, will be closed due to safety precautions.  Once the Airshow has finished and the aircraft collected and parked, the Hotramp will reopen.  For the best light, it is recommended to visit the Hotramp around 9am.

They were supposed to have a PBY fly in the show this weekend, but it got cancelled due to mechanical issues...

PBY from where? Not Palm Springs? No more flying those planes after Bob's passing is what I heard from Warbird Keith.

Glen, love that last one with that deep blue sky

Did you use a polarizing filter?

Thanks, man. I shot that one straight-up. No filters. Slight exposure corrections in Lightroom.
