Worth bringing

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