Pack for this show Ear Plugs Jet engines can reach noise levels that cause real discomfort — even short-term hearing damage — during takeoffs and high-speed passes. Basic foam ear plugs are the minimum protection worth bringing.
Sun Screen High-SPF sunscreen is non-negotiable — most air show ramps have no shade, and you'll be out on the flight line for hours.
Chairs For anyone planning to camp out on the show line from open to close — a low-profile folding or portable stadium seat beats standing all day.
