I'm heading for my first air show tomorrow, and have been studying up to get ready. I'm excited and I think I'm ready, but is there a "must read" out there? Just wanting to make sure. Thanks.

Try to enjoy the show and not hide behind the camera. Before you know it, the show will be over and you realize you spent most of it trying to hunt for planes through the viewfinder.

Thanks for the responses. I'm sure It'll be a blast. Blue Angels and the Army Black Knights doing a VIP show. I'll post the shots.
