Airshow Security Re: [MilCom] Fwd: MCAS New River NC Airshow Security

[Ken]

Generally it seems to me that military airshow parking & screening at the 
entry control points have gone fairly quickly over the last 4 to 5 years. 
Granted there have been some problems (e.g. no scanners allowd at a few 
shows in distant past) BUT lately it hasn't been bad at all.

One can always voice their complaint after the show via email, fax, or 
letter to the respective installation commander.  OR perhaps even a word of 
praise of how well it went & how much you enjoyed the show!!!!
