Air Show Tips

Come early, especially if you would like to take photos of the static airplanes.
Dress according to the weather and wear sunscreen. Also, read the local weather forecast.
Bring ear plugs – aircraft engines are very loud.
Will there be food sold? Yes, there will be many food, beverage and air show souvenir booths on the flight line. The nonprofit groups staffing the booths encourage your support during the air show. Each group receives a portion of the booth’s revenues for one’s organization.
Purchase an air show program – these programs will contain an air show poster, and pictures of airplanes. You can have the pilots autograph the programs for you. The proceeds from the programs go to the United Way of Niagara.
NO SMOKING absolutely on the flight line – there will be designated smoking areas.
Please pick up any trash and do not liter. You can assist the air show staff by doing this. Any foreign objects can be sucked into an airplane’s engine and do catastrophic damage to the airplane.
