This is a wide open air show to the general public. In my conversations today, it appeared background checks will not be required. There will be 1000's of folks there.

I'll probably be there in a CUCV + trailer or M925 + trailer. Historically, most folks have to head out early on Sun to return home, so a Sunday convoy and display may be iffy.
For the park, I had to dig into the LA statutes to get the park rules. Pets, firearms and alcohol are allowed with some restrictions in the park. There are prohibitions about selling stuff in the park, so we'd probably have to get written permission from the park manager for the swap meet. Should be no issue.

Personally, I would not attempt to bring pets, firearms or alcohol to the air show on the base.

Absolutely no go with firearms or booze on air base! Quick way to visit a brand new state of the art under utilized lock up (jail) on the Miss River in Plaquemines Parish.
I did not formally ask as I figured swaps/donations would be among "friends" and friends can give each other "gifts/donations" to keep things simple.

Hey guys how did I miss this? This sounds great, but have a question about the static display will we be there continually or come in before show and leave after each day? Also did y"all ask about us just doing the complete rally at the base? Never been to Bellchase but most bases could and will accommodate functions like us.

I have official word that we are sanctioned and welcome to participate. We will be allocated runway/tarmac space so will need you guys to keep replying and letting me know you are going and what mv/trailer you are bringing. We are welcome both days.
I suspect you will have to convoy in and will not allow stragglers in separately but you could leave early if needed. Work in progress and I will keep us up to date as developments happen and policy(s) are set. This is as new to them as to us. Joint effort
Logistics of when and where to meet and security checks are to be worked out.
Jeff,
I did not ask for space there as I figured they are beyond busy to host and let us camp there. They do have a small rv lot but anyone with a military id can camp there and I suspect they would not give that space out on a prime weekend which is a huge draw for them nationwide. The base is small and primarily reserve & Guard components from all branches and homeland. Not a huge active duty presence day to day I think. Maybe we can work on that for next air show if everything is a positive experience for everyone.

Juan as I read their website they have 7 pavilions at the park 5 medium and 2 larger and count me and Amy in. Are the camper sites big enough for my 931 with a semi trailer behind it?

I'm afraid I and the CAMO Crew are out of the picture this year.
I have to move my entire business as the State is selling the property we currently occupy and things will get really tight really soon. I've got it all under control but there is just no "play time" available.

You might have to unhook the tractor and park it next to the trailer as I don't think it has enough depth for both. Standard RV type driveway.
