I have a 70-200 2.8, but the first lens I reach for to shoot almost any outdoor event is my 100-400 (sports, picnics, airshows, wildlife, etc.). The 70-200 2.8 is almost exclusively an indoor / low light lens at this point. As was mentioned, it's relatively short when at 100mm, so it's a lot easier to tote than, say, a 400mm 5.6 prime. Yes, you will likely shoot the airshow at 400mm exclusively, but if you're keeping the lens you'll find much more use for it with the zoom range. My guess is that your other zoom will soon become a paper weight. It's a lot of coin, but, as you mentioned, it loses little value on the used market (expecially a recent copy), so if you find it sitting on the shelf too often, then sell it. The money you sacrifice will likely be similar to what you'd pay if you rented it in the first place.
