Dayton Air Show

I will be in Dayton Ohio next week attending the Dayton Air Show. I checked the list of prohibited items and there is no mention of tripods or monopods. Have others gone to these shows and know whether they are allowed?

Some do allow tripods and monopods, and some do not. If it doesn't say they are prohibited, then most likely you can bring them. My experience after attending many different air shows is that I need to hand hold in order to follow the aircraft. They are so fast that a tripod or monopod just gets in the way.

Ditto as to handholding when shooting aircraft in flight.

I haven't been there for years but although tripods were allowed I saw very few. To walk the planes, maneuver in & out of good spots on the fence, etc my believe there are times & places for tripods and times & places not for them. This is a NOT. Maybe a monopod, especially if you physically need it for stability.

If you have the time you should also check out the airplanes at Wright Patterson AFB. Almost everything that the AirFoce flew is there.
