Entry Procedures:

Can I leave and re-enter the Air Show?

Yes. Since there is no fee for admission and no coolers or large bags allowed on base, you are encouraged to keep these items in your vehicle.

Are coolers permitted?

No. Please review all the important entry restrictions on the Security page.

What defines a cooler?

A "cooler" is anything that was designed to insulate. Often the contents are fine as long as they are NOT in a cooler. An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.

Are cameras and video recorders allowed?

Yes, cameras and video recorders are permitted along with their protective cases. Amateur photographers are also encouraged to check out our Photo Pit access pass, allowing exclusive access to the best shooting locations on the airfield. All items will be subject to security screening prior to entry.

Can I bring an umbrella?

Yes. Handheld personal umbrellas are permitted. Large beach umbrellas or self-standing umbrellas placed in the ground are NOT permitted, nor are any other tent or awning structures.

Can I bring water bottles & drinks?

Yes; Commercially purchased, UNOPENED water bottles (e.g., Dasani, Aquafina, etc.) are allowed as long as they are 1 Liter in size (approx. 33 oz.) or smaller. Also, empty water bottles, containers, Camelbaks, etc. are allowed as long as they fit within the size restrictions in the security policy. We will have FREE water stations at specified locations once you are inside the show.

Can I bring a wagon for my kids?

Yes, but do not attach beach umbrellas or tent structures to it.

Can I bring a stroller?

Yes – it will need to be inspected at the security entry gate.

Can I bring a folding chair?

Yes. However, please keep travel paths clear by sitting in appropriate areas. Large congregations of folding chairs can become a hazard by restricting movement of safety & security personnel who may need to respond quickly to incidents. Airshow staff reserve the right to ask you to relocate, as necessary.

Are pets allowed?

For the safety of air show attendees and the animals, pets are not allowed, except for service animals (seeing eye dogs, etc.). Please consider whether your service animal will be able to tolerate loud noise and low-flying aircraft before bringing it to the show.

Can I fly in to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport?

Yes, but the airfield will close to non-airshow aviation from 0730-1730 on Sat and Sun, so you will need to land by 0730 and would not be allowed to leave until 1730 or later. General aviation aircraft parking will be near the base of the control tower. As always, check NOTAMS regularly. Contact Rectrix Aerodrome Center at (413) 485-0078 for complete FBO information at BAF.
