Here's the main air show page:

From their FAQ

What are the changes to air show security?
Due to heightened security all backpacks, coolers, and tote bags must be left in the car and will not be allowed on base.
Signs will be posted at the entrances to the parking areas and gate areas reminding you of these restrictions. Gate officials may refuse admittance to persons trying to enter with such items.

Can I bring my camera/video camera/cell phone/scanner?
Yes! There are no restrictions on electronics. However, large camera bags will be searched thoroughly. Bring only necessary camera equipment, leaving extra attachments at home. A small fanny pack or camera vest is useful for carrying extra film and small lenses, subject to approval by gate security personnel and a hand-search at the gate.

So yes, you should be able to bring in a camera bag, but be prepared to have them look it over. Same procedure was in effect for their 2005 show. If you have a smaller bag, I would recommend using it, just bring in what you need.

How about a Mini Trekker AW? Do you think that would be ok?

The Thunderbirds were buzzing around late this afternoon in the Toms River area.

Anyone know how far is the walk from parking area to the flight line? I like to go but just had ACL surgery and can't do much walking.
