They say that the gates open at 8 AM and the show activities will start around 10:00. But the T-birds won't be doing their thing until about 3:30. I'm interested in going, and I assume that you'd want to be right there on the runway to get the full effect of the T-birds, but I also don't want to spend the entire Saturday sitting there in the sun. If I wanted to show up early enough to make sure I can comfortably get to where you can see the T-birds from a good place, but not earlier than necessary, what time would that be?

Also – do they allow you to bring in your own camp chairs, I assume?

Any other tips?
