Snowbirds Crowd Line — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 26-28
Attendees, volunteers, and pilots should be aware that the Snowbirds performances require a larger aerobatic box, necessitating a slight move of the crowd line to the west during the afternoon air shows on those days. Only essential, authorized air show personnel are permitted inside the box during the Snowbirds performance.
The Snowbirds crowd line will run the entire length of the flightline from Ultralights through Warbirds, in line with the existing speaker poles, about 120 feet west of the regular crowd burn line. This line will be clearly marked.
For Air Show Spectators:
Visitors will have access to the regular crowd line area until 1:15 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and until noon on Sunday. At those times, visitors must move back to behind the Snowbirds crowd line. AirVenture guests will not be allowed to leave chairs, blankets, coolers, or other items past the Snowbirds crowd line at any time on those days. Friday through Sunday, Wittman Road will be closed to all vehicular traffic, providing additional space for air show viewing.
For Pilots and Crew of Aircraft Parked on the Flightline:
After 1:15 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and noon on Sunday, pilots or crew of aircraft parked between the two crowd lines will be allowed in the area for a short time with a security escort to perform urgent, essential tasks. Everyone will need to be out of this area by 4:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 2:45 p.m. on Sunday.
Full access will be restored after the completion of the Snowbirds performance on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Look for extensive signage on the grounds further explaining the areas and times covered by these necessary rules and guidelines.
