Question to anyone whose been to the show in the past, I'm planning to go this year, Tried to go last year but got a throat infection the day before...
But I don't think i've seen a single photograph from the airshow before, how is the lighting? is it an okay show to get shots at?

I don 't have access to all of my photos to give you examples, but it's not good for photos. Very backlit and the crowd area is very obstructed

Thanks, I suppose I'll have to try and make it work, Its a shame that this airshow is essentially replacing the Chino airshow.
