You MUST pay for parking and can not walk in to show (uber, etc) just stinks and smell of people hiding money. Maybe there needs to be a call for someone to look into some organization finances.

Nope, except they have stuck to their insane parking /admission policies and pricing. I wonder if there may be some good off-site spots near the airport to view...

I took a look on the way back from the Waco fly-in last weekend and there didn't seem to be any likely places. There are lots of warehouses with big parking lots, but the warehouses are between the lots and the airport and would likely obstruct most of the view. Maybe Mt. Comfort Elementary or Mt. Comfort Church if they aren't blocked off. Not something I'd bet on though.

Those two spots are south of the airport, not far. And the only runway they have (it appears) is on the south end of the airport. But I'm sure authorities will be very aggressive on blocking any potential "free" spots knowing many may want to avoid the exorbitant parking fees.

Pretty good gig the boys scout director for this organization who makes over $300,000/yr salary.

It's time for the organization who teaches ethics to go before an ethics commission review, or better yet, an IRS audit.

I reached out to Mt. Comfort Church about 1 mile S/SW of the runway and they appear to be offering their parking lot for the airshow. Might be a good alternative to miss out on the astronomical parking fees and admission for the show itself...

"We are planning to offer parking for the event, and we intend to hammer out the fine details for that early next week. Keep your eyes open for an update!"
