We often get some really good light at evening shows and the photographic opportunities can be absolutely stunning. The crowdline's very close to the action and there are spots that can give you an unimpeded view of the take-offs and landings for some very nice slow shutter work.
Thanks for the advice, Unfortunately I use a wheelchair to get around! is the flightline grass or is there a path. Grass is not usually a problem if is not to boggy. Do you know if there are concessions for disabled?

Excellent pics.
Cheers
