really can't understand what is the security issue have to do with the lenes 500mm and beyond? due to their sizes? by viewing through the lens we all know it's definitely a lens what other thing can it be?
there is ways of going beyond 500mm,but it just create inconvenience to all photograher
i dont own any 500mm lens. but do hope the organizer remove that restriction which obsolete in this model digital world and give all photographer a freedom to shoot their favorite aerial display once a year during the open house.
 

At the end of the day, it is a military airbase and they have their own sets of rules.

This lens restrictions is not peculiar to the RSAF if you've been to other countries airbase open house. Some even restricts to only a small bag to carry in.

Cheers.

They already relax rule by allowing public to camera into a military base.
