If you plan to watch the show from the beach ($10 parking), get there early. It is not unusual for the parking lots to be filled by 11:00am (if not earlier). When this happens, the parkways are closed and people are turned away. Bags, backpacks and coolers are permitted, keep in mind they will be searched. 

Bring earplugs for young viewers, it gets very loud. Also, remember the sunblock!


Other viewing spots:

1) The American Airpower Museum (Admission Is Required): Good for: Parked aircraft, Landing/Departing 19. 


2) New Highway: Good for: Landing/Departing 14 or 32. 
A long stretch of road that runs along and around the south side of runway 14-32. There is plenty of room on both sides of the road to pull over and watch the action. I

3) Main Terminal: Good for: Parked Thunderbirds, Landing/Departing 1
There is a small parking lot behind the Air Traffic Control Tower. It fills up fast, so you will want to get there early.

Excellent views at the beginning of runway 14. 

5) (Former) Dave and Buster's Parking Lot: Good For: Landing 19.
