Echo everything Jack stated. One small point, the MAIN airshow events take place on the Thursday/Friday/Saturday, with the closing event on the Sunday.
These are fabulous, last year the re-enactment of Pearl Harbour was visually spectacular. A great event.
So, plan your shopping, demo, trips off field, to the Splash/seaplane area, earlier in the week, which leaves ample time to absorb the display flying, also get yourself a good vantage point for the displays, grass near the main square and VIP area. Trip in the Tri Motor well worth the price. There is a good barbeque event at the seaplane base, worth a visit.
Bags and bags to do, and worth planning ahead exactly what you wish to attend discover. Also lots of impromptu eating events at the trailer parks, make new friends!!!!!
You may miss the 'arrival'', due to your incoming flight, I flew in a couple of times on arrival day, very entertaining with literally hundreds of aeroplanes all converging.
Enjoy, you will have a ball.
