Pilotdom
Camping is the way I've always done it. You're there soaking up the atmosphere full time! And it's really a dawn till dusk happening. Arrivals at 6am right until dusk about 9pm.using simultaneously THREE runways,streaming on all. My recommendation is 36L/18R for the heavies (longest runway). Heavies,I hear you say? Oh yes! Like 747s from NZ,etc.
Campsite cannot be booked in advance,though there is room for 40,000 (that's right,you heard it correctly!),maybe more now.The website says clearly,that there is ALWAYS room to camp! I take a tent in my luggage (actually inside my suitcase,less chance of it going astray)
You have to be a member to camp,but joining is the cheapest way to gain entry to the event also if staying the whole week.
By the way,if you can,be there for the weekend preceding the official start on Monday 23rd,as there will be 1000+ arrivals before the start! (Camping will be open,and access to the field)
