PLEASE NOTE: All vehicles parking at the show will be required to obtain a paid parking pass online in advance. One pass is required per vehicle, and covers everyone in the car. Because there is a limited capacity for parking and traffic ingress/egress, once all parking passes have been reserved, no additional parking will be available. Parking passes will not be available for purchase at the gate. Those vehicles arriving without a parking pass will not be admitted.
General Parking assures guests a space at the airport within walking distance of the Air Show Main Entry Gate. These spaces must be purchased in advance. A limited number will be available each day. No busses or RV’s unless that parking option is purchased. Pass will be good only for the day for which it is purchased (Friday, June 19, Saturday, June 20, or Sunday, June 21).
There will be a limited number of handicap spots located at the front of the General Parking Lot. They will be first come first park. You will need a general parking pass and either the handicap placard or the license plate. There are NO handicap specific parking passes.
** AIR SHOW ADMISSION MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADDITION TO PARKING. **
Advance tickets will be discounted significantly from regular pricing but ticket prices will increase without notice as more tickets are sold and the show gets closer to sold out.
All sales are final. No refunds. No rainchecks.
