	Taking photos of aircrafts are not forbidden, but most of people think it is a kind of crime. We have the same thinking in Turkey.

	Sabiha Gokcen is the another airport of Istanbul, growing number of traffic every year, It’s main base of Pegasus Airlines, second big user is the Anadolu jet. But unfortunately there is no good spotting place for both direction of airport. Airport security are not friendly, they are very unhappy with spotters. If you plan to visit around SAW expect a visit the security center.
