Tips When Watching Fighter Flying Air Shows
Nothing is more spectacular than watching an air show at a military base or at privately-sponsored fighter flying shows like the Dayton Air Show. For years, Dayton Air Shows have been the perfect venue for families and friends who want to have a different kind of entertainment. The 2007 Dayton Air Show was a big success which was held last July 28 and 29. By continuously improving the safety measures of fighter flying shows like the Dayton Air Show, spectators and guests are assured of utmost safety during the event. But there are also other important things that on-lookers must take into consideration. Here are tips for those who would like to watch fighter flying shows.
Although fighter flying air shows are meant to be entertaining, it cannot be denied that an event like this also pose serious threats not only to the performers but also to the spectators. This is why organizers of air shows are stringent when it comes to safety rules. And with this, even on-lookers themselves are not exempted in the execution of safety rules. One particular form of these safety rules is the personal item search by security personnel. Your bags and all other carry-in items will be checked. So in order for the security personnel to easily and conveniently implement safety guidelines, be cooperative in the process. It also helps if you do not bring unnecessary carry-in materials.
Here are the materials that fighter flying air show organizers will restrict inside the premises of the event: coolers, can, alcohol, glass, loose ice, pets, awnings, tents, weapons and cooking equipment. You might notice that some of the restricted items are somehow related to food, but actually, food is allowed in fighter flying air shows. However, it is recommended you wrap the food using clear wrapping. Coolers are not allowed because they are difficult to search. If you wish to bring your own ice, it'd be better to use ice packs rather than loose ice.
Due to convenience concerns regarding the use of coolers, air show organizers will not allow insulating containers. During the search, food, beverage and other contents might be spoiled. However, there are certain instances that coolers are allowed especially if they are used for containing and preserving medicinal contents or infant formula bottles.
Again, it is but okay to bring along materials and personal items with you as long as they are necessary and are not restricted. Water is free during the event and food is also not a problem since there are a variety of beverage and food stalls operating during the event. By following these tips, you will definitely enjoy spending your day at a fighter flying air show.
