Airshow Chalet WOrkshop

Workshop attendees have all-day access to the 3G Aviation Media chalet at the NAF El Centro airshow on 16 March 2019.  Stop by, eat lunch, take advantage of the front-row shooting opportunities or cool off and rest your feet in the tent with a drink!   Once the airshow flying ends on Saturday, attendees will assemble at the chalet for an exclusive post-airshow photoshoot.  While not as long as the usual 3G sunset and twilight shoot, it will give attendees an opportunity to capture aircraft on the flightline without the crowds before the sun sets.  

What is included

  • Airshow access - Airshow is free to the public, so there are no "extra" fees just to get in the gate!

Friday Night shoot

Join us the night PRIOR to the airshow for a great evening of shooting the static aircraft on the NAF El Centro flightline.  On Friday 15 March 2019, while the rest of the airshow crowd is at the concert, you will be shooting the aircraft in twilight!  Once it gets truly dark, the airshow fireworks will begin and you will have a perfect opportunity to pair the fireworks with your favorite airframes.
