MASS FLIGHT DETAILS
As a new part of the show, we are featuring community mass flights this year. We will invite all spectators and pilots to help take part in the flights. We will have a hot air balloon rally over the tarmac during intermission, a jet "race" with 3 laps around the airport (left pattern) in L-39's, a re-enactment of the Doolittle Raid with a mass flight of B-25's, and World War I era "furball". No weapons will be used or exchanged during these flights. White smoke only during any mass flights. There shall be no other flight of other aircraft besides what is approved or scheduled by YSAS staff. Failure of such may result in a kick from the server.
VIEWING INFORMATION
The air show flying will begin approximately 11:00AM CST or 12:00PM EST (5:00PM GMT) and will run for around 4 hours. Teamspeak 3 will be provided for professional air show narration and music. While being on Teamspeak is not required, it is highly recommended to be familar with changes, information, and the show's itenerary. You can download the Teamspeak 3 client at http://www.teamspeak.com. Unless flying as part of an act or performer, all attendees will remain in the observer mode feature of YSFlight for the duration of the show. F9 is our show center viewpoint and F10 from that position requires a great view. Also various end of runway F6 points are featured as the aircraft fly the showline. As a friendly note, Shift+F9 will toggle through the airplanes in the air at the particular time.

The air show will be using the most up-to-date network console for the server. This is usually compatible with any YSFlight versions you may have but may feature some minor defects. We recommend the newest version currently available at http://www.ysflight.com.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The primary show-line for maneuvers will take place over RW08L/RW08R, the closest (smaller) runway to the crowd-area. Most smaller aircraft can land on this strip, however larger aircraft such as cargo and fighter aircraft may be better suited for RW26L/RW26R, the larger runway. Please be aware and cautious of the two blue buses on white tarp which signifies show center. These may be easily hit by the wingspans of larger aircraft. There shall be no takeoffs or landings on the ramp/tarmac parking areas unless pre-arranged with the show coordinators. The primary runways for takeoffs includes RW26L and RW08R for shorter taxi-distance times. RW26R and RW08L are also available.
