1st airshow
any reccomendations as in what to take
Take planes, there'll be plenty of them



Seriously though, you'll need an assortment of focal lengths and especially a mid to long range zoom, I've only ever done one airshow

One thought. given the recent concerns over public safety etc the flying display may be further away so the longest lens you have would be the best bet.
I found finding the plane as a speck at the short end of the zoom and then zooming in on it a lot easier than searching the sky at long range.

An alternative approach that I found worked at my first airshow is to keep both eyes open, not just the one looking throught the viewfinder. The other eye (usually the left one), gives you the position of the plane(s) in the sky whilst the other one sorts zoom and focus.
