Black Rocks or Ramore Head (my preference) are the points closest to the display line, and are on opposite sides of West Bay. Ramore Head is above the marina whereas Black Rocks is on the road leading from Portrush to Portstewart. Most of the spectators watch from the sea wall which runs the length of West Bay, however this puts you further away from the display line. Anywhere around the West Bay area will give you an unobstructed view of the aircraft.

The airshow website has a list of all participating aircraft but unfortunately not their time slots. Only one we know for sure is the Red Arrows who, as mentioned in earlier posts, are due around 5:30pm.

Regarding the Jet displays Deemay,the jets tend to display later in the day so you might get a chance to see them.
 
Dogs and babies are a no no at airshows.
 
Never ceases to amaze me how many babies and buggies you see at the Portrush show;the mil jets will frighten the hell out of them and could even damage young kids ears without ear protection.
 
I recall doing a pushback at BFS with a Jet2 737 and one of ear protectors fell out! The noise was deafening at that was at a fairly low idle;when the pilot increased power to begin his turn to taxi,I thought my head was going to explode!  :o
 
Ear protection for yoing kids is a must when the Typhoon is about.
