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.
Check each show’s own rules for allowed items. Full list: what to bring to an airshow.
