We will not be taking her to Barksdale this weekend, but don’t be surprised if another red & black airplane shows up in Miss Ellie’s place.

Spectators please use the North and Main Gates for entry to the Air Show. The North Gate will lead to the Blue parking area on the inserted map. The Main Gate will split the traffic and direct spectators to the Yellow and Green parking areas in the image. There have been a few questions regarding parking next to another vehicle. If you enter the gate one-after-another, that may be possible. Entry to the base is open from 9:00am until noon. Please do not line up in advance of 9:00am. Finally, please print your parking ticket in advance, and have it with you in your vehicle.
