Safety

  • Drink plenty of fluids during the day. The sun and wind can dehydrate spectators quickly.
  • Wear sunscreen and reapply throughout the day to avoid overexposure to the sun. Wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses.
  • Watch your step, particularly around tents or displays that may have staked ropes tying them down or while walking through grass parking lots that may be uneven or have holes.
  • Be careful and pay attention while walking around or through static aircraft displays. Some aircraft may have little headroom inside and some aircraft wingtips can be right at head level.
  • Do not smoke on the ramp or spectator area.
