Parking Pass policy was updated. Once again, they are going with the strategy of only allowing one pass per order, meaning they want people to pick either Saturday Sunday to attend. Additionally, it appears the Red/Blue parking lots are no longer a thing. Honestly, I'm not sure what the benefit of this is. I get they'd want to track the number of vehicles so they don't run out of space, but flexibility should be encouraged, especially if weather prevails on one day versus the other. Doesn't seem fair if you pick a day weeks in advance and that day happens to get rained out.
At any rate, if you already got a parking pass, look out for an email with an updated one and print it out.

Find a friend to make an order and take them the other day and vice versa. Problem solved

This show always has great statics. The AC-130 returns; I got to go in the one they had in 2022. The Storch is a really cool addition. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.
