JB MDL Power in the Pines Air & Space Open House 2023
Plan to arrive early and be on the line to enter the base when the gates open. Traffic gets very heavy to enter the base.
After the show, DO NOT run to your car. It usually takes an hour or more for traffic to begin to move off the base.
With no demo teams this year, exiting the base might be easier.

From past experience, McGuire gates usually open at 8 AM, so be on the line to get in at 8 AM or so.
This will make for less traffic and shorter security lines.

Thnak you! I only ever see the atlantic city one but since Im old enough to drive I can go to morepassedgas46 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 5:43 pmI grew up an hour and a half from McGuire and before moving to Delaware I was living less than twenty minutes from the base. Coming from Philly it takes about 45 minutes to get to McGuire and upwards of an hour and a half or more from NYC. I haven't been back up that way since I moved so I can't vouch if there's construction issues or not.Just_Justin wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 3:49 pmIt's my first time going, so I'm not too sure when the show usually starts and when to leave (about an hour drive) so where would i go to see the times?
Most of the roads within a few miles of McGuire are two-lane roads. A few are four-lane roads but it does narrow down to two after about two miles. There isn't a whole lot in terms of restaurants near the base - there's a few fast few joints and a couple other eateries but nothing too fancy. I'm not sure if I trust the quality of any of the hotels within five miles of the base. Your best bet for a nicer place to stay and eat would be in places like Bordentown and Mount Laurel, and even they'll put you 20 or more minutes away.

Plan to arrive at the gate at 8 AM. This is the best time. Gates usually open at 8 AM.
McGuire parking fills up very quickly.

Does anyone have a lineup for statics this year? A list would be greatly appreciated.
