Q. What kind of ID do I need to bring?
A. All guest are encouraged to bring one form of ID with them. Although this is an open house event, safety and security are our top priority. We reserve the right to change this at any time; follow our page for the latest updates. Understand that ALL hand-carried items are subject to search, for your protection.
Please note, the REAL ID Act is not being implemented to access Whiteman Air Force Base. Guests with an ID from Missouri, Minnesota, Washington or American Samoa will be able to use their state-issued identification card or driver's license as their one form of ID.

Q. Will there be First Aid?
A. The First Aid area is clearly marked by a red cross. If you need medical assistance, look for the banner with the red cross or ask an air show worker for help.
– Drink plenty of fluids, especially on warm sunny days.
– Apply sunscreen often, especially to small children. Wear a hat to protect your head. Temperatures on the flightline [show grounds] are typically higher than normal.
– Take time out to rest during the day as heat and excitement may cause fatigue.

Q. Will there be a Lost and Found?
A. The Lost and Found and Information booth will be located in the air show command trailer.
– Bring found items to the trailer or the nearest air show worker.
– Announcements will be made over the public address system.
– To report a lost child, go to the lost and found command trailer or ask the nearest air show worker for help.

Q. Can I fly to the airshow in my General Aviation plane and park on the flight line?
A. No. All guest must go through the designated base gates.

Q. What can I bring inside the spectator area?
A. Folding lawn chairs, strollers and pull-along wagons, purses and fanny packs, medical bags, diaper bags, and camera bags, clear beverages in see-through containers, cameras, camcorders, cell phones, and wheelchairs.

Q. Are Saturday and Sunday the same show?
A. There will be minor differences, but the majority of the show will be similar.

Q. Who is performing when? Will there be a schedule?
A. We will not release a schedule. Here's an example of why:
Your favorite performer is slotted for 2 p.m. You plan to get to the air show at 1 p.m. Alas, two acts scheduled to perform prior have mechanical issues and now they've been bumped up and your favorite performer has been bumped back... to noon. You arrive at 1 p.m., having missed them.
We definitely don't want this to happen to you, and with so many moving parts, our schedule must allow for a vast amount of flexibility; to release a schedule would surely work against your plans.

Q. What does the ground show entail?
A. More static displays of smaller and older aircraft, cars, vendors, and more!
