Luke Days 2014

[Jay Beckman]

Per team post on Facebook, Trojan Horsemen are a scratch due to budget issues.

Looks as though the Horsemen are still confirmed as well as the AC-130 for static, sorry Joe also a F-35, F-16, F-86 and P-38 fly-by

[Joe Copalman]

AC-130 ain't showed up yet.

Correct.  That was the deal at the last Luke show (where a photo vest came in very handy). 

[cpasley]

Just do like I did at last years Yuma show, have big pockets, cargo shorts can carry a couple lenses, memory cards, batteries, a sandwich

[KeithS]

Three years ago, I took a small shoulder bag with one camera and two lenses.  They let me on the bus.  This year, I have the Think Tank belt and a couple of pouches.  If they say no, plan B is to carry in hand and then store in cargo pants.

[Chris Janes]

But a women's  purse the size of a steamer trunk overflowing with crap is perfectly acceptable. It is what it is but I've never heard a rational explanation let alone an explanation for why camera bags aren't allowed to these events. Honestly I don't care but would be curious to know what the issue is with camera bags at air shows.....
No offense to the women out there

[yipDog]

Go buy a radio flyer wagon or a stroller! They're on the approved list!

[Chris V]

I use a pretty small camera bag / "backpack" and have had the police tell me that's not going on base and then when I go through security they let it pass. Not saying it will work this time but so far its worked at a lot of bases Nellis included.

[azbill]

Any word on if they are running buses as shuttles as they did several years ago, or are we parking near the base and standing in line?

[KeithS]

According to the website, both are available.  Shuttle parking SE corner of Peoria/Litchfield, walk-in parking SE corner of Glendale/Litchfield.  $10 each location.  Below the maps, I now see this as allowable:  Cameras w/bags (my italics)

[azbill]

Thanks Keith!

[Joe Copalman]

So what actually showed up from that static list?  Anyone going out tomorrow?
