FYI to folks going
Be prepared to sit in traffic for 3 hours getting in and 2 hours getting out. Unless you wanna head to the base at daylight.
Military airshows are a cluster frick. One way in and one way out. It’s not built for efficiency.

Is there somewhere nearby that you can watch some of it? I'd rather miss some to avoid the traffic

I went to this one a few years back and it was fine. There was some traffic, but nothing crazy.

The air show will have a small addition to the traffic already down there due to the Plaquemines LNG project. There are 8,000 workers 30 minutes south of Belle Chasse every day. LA 23 north is fricked in the afternoons even on Saturdays.

Your traffic comment is grossly exaggerated. Yes just like any huge event there is going to be traffic like an LSU football game but not 3 hours. Just leave a little early, pack an ice chest for the drive, lower your windows and enjoy want God has given you. It’s going to be an awesome day!

I went a few years ago and maybe sat in traffic for 20min. I have a military ID tho so don’t know if that changes anything but it wasn’t bad by any means.

Not at Ellington in Houston. Start the walk to the car in the middle of the last act. They're flying over you, even if you're on the way to the car.
