The general admission parking lot will be located entirely on the east side of North Dixie Drive across from the air show’s entrance, the release said. In addition, a portion of North Dixie Drive directly in front of the gateway will be blocked to give general admission patrons a safer walk to the entrance.

“Every year, we evaluate parking and make adjustments as best we can,” said Scott Buchanan, Chairman of the United States Air & Trade Show Board of Trustees, producers of the show. “These changes are the result of multiple discussions with city and airport officials in order to get families to the air show grounds in the quickest, safest manner.”

Chalet, Pavilion and Flight Line Hangar ticket holders with P-Lot parking passes will now park on the south side of the airport off West National Road, according to the release. More than 30 shuttle buses will shuttle attendees to their chalets or pavilions.
