Some from this past year. This is always a super amazing and fun opportunity for those who get a chance to participate!

Shouldn't make a difference - just make sure you have ID. The bigger issue is submitting some of your work. Given how competitive it is to be selected, we do need to see some of your night work.Quote:

It is a lot of work for the staff at the AAM during the busiest day of their year and asking them to stay late is alot on them, but it seems to be working really well. I have to decline as many people as I invite but I am always trying to get people who have not attended in. There is usually 6 people returning from the previous year and 6 new Photographers every year.
The 6 people re-invited are based on
1. Pictures itself (quality-and compostion)
2. Posting of images (Magazines, forums, personal websites and elsewhere)

Do you think they could make exception for me?.. i have maybe 1 good night photo and this would be a good chance.. its my first time here and i don't think i can come back just for this event later.. :(
all approvals will be done thru the process only. I do my best not to play favorites and do what I can to ensure that people who have not attended have a chance. No I can not make an exception for you as I could not make an exception for the N.Y. Times Photographer that asked last minute last year. You will be amazed how many people ask me airshow weekend, we would have 200 people if everyone was ok'ed.
The people helping with the museum are doing it for free and are staying late on the busiest weekend, on the busiest day. There will be no late entry's allowed. I have to keep this fair. Sorry
Always an outstanding night with great group of people. From 2011

Fred, say we do get a chance to take part in this awesome experience, what is the time frame that we would be able to be on the ramp?
That would be 6-10pm. They are usually finishing up the AAM Party around 7 and it starts to get quiet around 8-8:30pm....before that it is Crazy, as there are allot of people by the AAM for the party.... it is very rewarding Photography if you can are good with rapidly changing lighting conditions. At the end of the party they have a dusk flyby where shots like these will be possible.

so far that's it... Not many keepers this year :-( I ruined a lot of exposures and also, was half asleep the whole night. I left early which is a miracle for me ... In any case, a HUGE thank you to Fred for organizing and to the American Airpower Museum for hosting this terrific event.
Fred, you have more energy than an F-5 tornado ... special thanks also to Moose and John K. who are always very helpful and gracious with their time, expertise and friendship.
Finally to my great friends and those I only get to see and hang out with at HUTS each year, cheers! All of you and your excellent work is a tremendous inspiration! Thank you all.
Manny, my haul was also low this year do to the virus I was fighting. Here are a few that I did keep though:
