Last air show I went to, photographers kept bumping into each other--took some fun pictures of that after a while. Be sure to shoot the display tags alongside the planes or whatever you shoot (I assume you're shooting digital), as it may make accurate identification and use in articles easier.
When I'm shooting airplanes, I try for a square-on front view, a square-on side view, a front corner view, and close-ups of any significant markings (tail number, nose art, and anything else that looks interesting).
When I'm shooting airplanes, I try to shoot between it's 5 and 7 o'clock -- the engines give seeker a brighter IR source to home on.
But I appreciate all the photography advice too! I'm not a good photographer, my technique is to take a LOT of pictures and hope I get lucky.
