Worth bringing
Hearing protectionFast jets are very loud, especially for children. Ear defenders or foam plugs make the day much nicer.
Sun protectionAirfields have little shade: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
Folding chair or blanketYou may stand or sit for hours. Check the show rules first – some sites limit chairs near the crowd line.
