So what do you use to carry your gear in?
My first was this Canon shoulder bag that came with my first camera (3000D (Film!) with an 28-80 and 80-200 lens). It would fit all three and a few rolls of film too.

My current shoulderbag (Also a freebie!) is this Case Logic SLRC-3; worked OK for my old gear (400D with lens and the 70-300 mm) but it's too small for the 100-400 and 7D. But when I only need the 7D with 17-50 or 17-85 and possibly the flash it still works. I removed the camera cradle from the bag (Uses Velcro) because my lens is too big to fit through the hole.

For longer trips and airshows I used this McKinley Freeway 28 backpack. Although not a camera bag as such I usually stacked my camera bag in last so I could access it from the top. Great backpack to carry around all day.

Since this was not the most ideal situation I have now bought a Vanguard Up Rise 48:

A very large backpack designed for photography. It comes with a padded interior that can be readjusted using several different parts and a lot of Velcro; it will hold the 7D with the 100-400 fitted easily!

Once the bag is packed you can access the camera from the side:

Plenty of space inside for a long day at an airshow! Equipment carried during an airshow: Camera, lens, zoom lens, extra batteries and memory cards, full rain suit, bottle of sun blocker, two-three 0.5 liter bottles of soda, enough food, umbrella, small tripod seat!
Another bag I was looking at (Which was a bit cheaper too) was the Lowepro fastpack 350, but the Vanguard comes with an enclosed rain cover. It is also slightly bigger and better built IMHO. As you can tell from the first picture of the Vanguard it does pretty well in reviews too. :)
