Well, that's just peachy. How crowded will the museum be on Saturday? Figure I will try to get there as soon as the gates open, shoot the statics and race out to the museum to shoot the planes not being backlit.

[Kevin Joyce]

Just watch out going into the museum, I tried going in and they wanted to inspect my camera backpack, which I had no problem with. They then told me I could not bring in my 100-400 lens because it was a professional Lens, and that they would have to charge me $250.00 to shoot from inside the museum.

Some Raptor shots.

Well, then I guess I'm screwed. No real reason to go shooting into the sun. Guess I'll wait for Nellis.

[Kevin Joyce]

Ken, you can still go. I shot from the parking lot next to the museum.

But by the time I go in and shoot the statics, then try to get off base, there's not going to be anywhere to park. Should have gone today. Was under the impression they were not going to fly a practice show.

Thats weird. I was in the museum area and they just told me not to shoot the base. I had a 300 f/4 with a 1.4 tele. The two people next to me both had 100-400s. We were at the bleachers sitting with museum people and no one had any problems.

Come to the base side and get some bad light

Ken, I put you on the attending list so you MUST go  (JK) You will have fun. Think MD-11 waterdrop

I don't think the museum is going to be inspecting bags tomorrow. Too much workload. Today, when nobody was there, maybe... but not tomorrow. I think you'll be good. I'm planning on going still. Today was a blast.
