I like it! But I expect I won't be the only terro-- er, baby-kill--
that is, um, well, the point is that the amount of military hardware
lying around that airport that week will be greater than many nations'
entire arsenals. There will literally be hundreds of thousands of
people taking pictures.
But, I suspect, not all of them will be willing to contribute their
photos to Wikipedia.

Last air show I went to, photographers kept bumping into each other--took
some fun pictures of that after a while. Be sure to shoot the display tags
alongside the planes or whatever you shoot (I assume you're shooting
digital), as it may make accurate identification and use in articles
easier.
