Typically they use the longer 24R/6L for the show, but some arrivals will come in on the other runway.
The Static Display Lineup is HERE!
We have an amazing lineup of aircraft that our air show fans will be able to see up close throughout the weekend at the CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger, July 22-23!

Make this show one to remember by taking a ride in the B-25 Champaign Gal at this years’ CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger!
The @champaignaviationmuseum, based in Urbana, OH, will be showcasing the historic B-25 Champaign Gal by offering rides to a limited number of passengers who reserve and purchase a seat. Built in 1944 by North American, the aircraft served with the USAAF for 13 years and was �used as a trainer, transport and personnel transport. This is a special offer to experience this piece of history - FIRST HAND!

Unfortunately, dealing with the interloper would have required giving up a spot at the fence at a critical part of the show. He did wind up getting a lens hood to the back of the head a few times, but didn't get the hint, so everyone else just dealt with it. In hindsight I wish we'd handled it differently. Regardless, they need to do better this year at managing the pit entrance.yakc130 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 3:30 amYou paid $150 for a photo pass, and a guy with a cell phone was crowding you? I used to go to Dayton back in the '80's during the Cold War when there were 100+ military aircraft on display. That was when it was the Air and Trade show every other year. There was a bunch of us that all knew each other, and we were all polite, and pretty helpful.jhtolatc wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 2:23 amWorst of all, last year they did a terrible job of credential checks at the pit entrance. I wound up shooting the last half of Sunday with an uncredentialed dude with a cell phone crowding me. I'm yet undecided on going this year, but leaning toward shooting Friday practice and going to the museum on the weekend instead of the show. If I do go, I'll probably spend little time in the pit and go exploring general admission for different angles. The map just updated on the website recently, and the pit is the same place it was last year.
Screw that! He would have been escorted out if it had been me he was crowding. That's if he wasn't literally carried out by all of us that were there shooting.
Additionally. It's a sad thing that people are getting charged that kind of money nowadays. I remember going to the London Airshow in the '80's, and the cost for the photo tour was nowhere near that kind of money.
