What else should I know about Luke Days?

Although more than 100,000 people attend each day of Luke Days, there's plenty of room for everyone. Bring folding chairs or a blanket to sit on. For most of the shows, you'll be looking up, so there's little reason to try to get a position in front!

Children love Luke Days. When your kids start to get a little bored you can take them to visit a very nice, large children's play area. There are bungee rides and a rock wall for the ones that aren't so little anymore. Of course, there are also many military airplanes on the ground that they can walk right up to. In some cases, they can get inside.

Bring your binoculars, and bring the camera. Dress in layers--it can be cold in the morning even if it warms up later in the afternoon. With all that looking up at the sky, don't forget the sunscreen!
