Looks like a great lineup for this show.

I do have a question for the locals. I'll be testing out some new camera gear this year and was wondering if you're allowed to park in the grass on the side of Long Pond Road the day before the event where they normally do the rehearsal show?

Thanks,

You pull over on the entrance of Andretti Road between Long Pond RD entrances.

These roads might actually be closed well before getting to the pictured location.

My family has taken me and my siblings to Pocono Raceway before for NASCAR races and there is a big giant grandstand where most everyone watches the races from, if they're not in the infield. I was there in 2019 and 2021 for the airshows and I can confirm that it is not worth trying to get any photos from outside the racetrack because that grandstand, from outside, may actually block your view or anything that's down low and it may also prevent you from seeing stuff flying not-so-low.

There's not a lot around in the immediate area. For both airshows I stayed about 10 minutes from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport and even that was a good 45 minute drive from the hotel to the Raceway.

Is there any late addition performers to be added to this show? Also I was wondering if the demo teams will be staging out of AVP again?
