chair or blanket to sit. However, no tents, large umbrellas, or canopies are allowed.

You may bring your own food and drink; however, you are NOT allowed to bring alcoholic beverages or glass
containers. Alcohol will be sold on the air show grounds. No extra-large bags. Any bags brought in are subject
to search by the security personnel at the gates and you may not be allowed in with such items. No cooking
equipment is allowed. Smoking is only allowed outside of the airport security fence/ outside of gates you
entered.

“CAN I BRING A STROLLER OR WAGON FOR MY KIDS?”

items are subject to search by security personnel at the gates and they have the final say on what is allowed.
“CAN I BRING A CAMERA?”

Remember that the Airshow performance and many performers’ acts are copyrighted, and your photography or
video cannot be used for commercial purposes.
“CAN I BRING A DRONE?”
Drones are not allowed. A TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) will be in effect with a 5-mile radius around
the airport restricting air traffic of all types including any drones.
“ARE PETS ALLOWED?”
Pets are NOT allowed onto the Airshow area and should NOT be left in vehicles. Because of the festival setting
with food and drink vendors, the City of Athens Health Department prohibits animals, other than legally
allowed guide and assistance animals. Please also understand that temperatures on the tarmac area can easily
reach in excess of 120 degrees and will burn a pet’s feet, plus the loud noises can injure their sensitive hearing
and/or frighten the animals.
“DO VENDORS AND CONCESSIONS TAKE CREDIT CARDS?”
Food and drink vendors may take credit cards. It is up to their discretion. It is highly advised to bring cash
because there are no ATM machines available.
“IS THERE SHADE?”
The Airshow is held under an open sky. You are encouraged to bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen lotion.
Limited shade may be found under the wings of some static display aircraft but there is no “shaded area”.
Umbrellas are discouraged to ensure that all visitors have a good view of the show. No tents or canopies are
allowed.
“DO I NEED HEARIG PROTECTIONS (ear plugs)?”
The Airshow strongly encourages you to bring and use proper hearing protection such as quality ear plugs, and
especially so for children. The noise from the jet engines may be painful or harmful for some. This is especially
true if you are viewing the show from the front line. For young children who may tend to play with and/or
remove the foam type plugs, a suggested alternative is sound muffs (available in the gun section of most
sporting goods stores, and generally available in children’s size). Please make your own choices on this matter
and protect your hearing.
“WHAT IF IT RAINS?”
Unless the weather is severe, we will fly as much of the show as is safe and possible. In the event that the show
is canceled, your ticket price will be considered a tax-deductible contribution to a 501(C)3 non-profit
