When my dad went to airshows he would usually take a pair of press
photographer cameras that he's had converted to 620 format film. And he would
also have a case of 620 film, which he eventually had to special order directly
from Kodak. He also had a large number of prepaid processing mailers. After
the airshow he would drop the mailers off at a post office. He did this even
after he finally graduated to a medium format Mamiya.
