This will be my first time attending this show and I am looking for advice as to the best place to shoot from. Thank you!

Have you looked at the airport in Google Earth?

Main runway runs NE/SW so you'll probably have the sun at your back until very late in the afternoon.

If it were me, I'd probably move well left of show center.

Sound advice. I've seen his work. ;)

Radial engines don't actually leak oil, by the way. They just mark their territory!

Makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice.
