Airshow photography

If you attend an airshow and take photos of planes in flight, if you want to use one of these photos for a magazine contest submission that if won will result in your photo getting published.  Do you need any sort of special permission?

You're going to get a response that claims that any image of a "thing" requires a property release.

I disagree with that, especially in terms of "art" or editorial. Commercial use, yes, but you're talking about a contest and a magazine article. And a photo of something in public, where there's no right to privacy.

Go for it. There are images all over the web of planes at air shows.

I agree.  I remember one day I was photographing a building.  Someone came out of the building and told me that they don't allow photographs of their building.  I thanked the man and continued with my shooting.  Kind of funny actually.  Inanimate things do not have privacy rights and cannot sue for compensation.

Now that I understand copyright law in this country, I'm just waiting for the day when I get challenged by someone. It's going to be something like, "public property. Please go away and leave me alone."
