Planes of Fame Air Show 2018
I’m planning a n attending this event in a few weeks. This will be my first time at the location. My primary goal is photography so I’m wondering how the conditions are. Is it easy to get a got spot inside? Are there any good locations from the outside?

This is the best ramp reference.

Thinking of a traditional airshow, "show center" is due south of the food court. So that is the typical airshow box for standard acts.
However, all of the warbirds fly clockwise circles around the field following the runways. The media area typically is on the corner of the flightline (where it shows VIP chalet). Form there as the aircraft bank around you see this:

Chino is very different than a "typical" airshow.
You'll want to make sure you are there early so you can shoot the aircraft on the hot ramp. (Gates open at 8:00, trams start running then, hot ramp shuts down at 9:30am)

Personally, I am doing the bleacher again for a second year. I like the elevated view of the acro box, but I don't get the banks as much not being on the corner. However, I get all the taxis from this location.

The best ideas are in my head
Thanks for the tips!
Would it be better to set up closer to the area market 'jets' or closer to the turn of the crowd line in the middle?
Also can you hurry up and put down your law chair at the flight line, leave and come back later to claim that spot or will someone else have taken that spot and moved your chair?
