I always bring a chair too and park myself under the port wing of the B-52. From there you can walk around and see everything but when the sun beats down it's nice to have some shade. Watch your head on the fuel tank! They say no coolers
but you can bring food and ice packs. Frozen water is a must as $2/bottle is the show price I think. Not sure how to dodge the no coolers thing, but the food is not cheap.
Anything that insulates is a cooler is their definition. Not sure if it's b/c they are hard to search or they want you to buy food from the vendors...
The last few years, I always take a bunch of pics but it's getting where I have one of all the planes w/in 1000 miles and I always find better ones on the internet anyway.
