 ===Templeton Street===
-Left at the second traffic light from the airport (15-20 minutes walk). Faces North.
+Best location if you want to take airborne shots of the arriving aircraft as most landings are on 26R. You will only miss a few landing aircraft (the bizzjets + freighters + about 2/3 of the flights going to the south terminal = local Props).
-Unofficial but popular location beside the approach to 26R, you will see many cars parked on a dirt track beside the road. All 26R movements can be logged and good photos can be had although the subjects are a bit high and the smaller types (Dash-8 etc.) will require a long lens (about 400mm on a fullformat sensor).
-You won't be able to log the takeoffs (always use 26L) and some landings (some of those parking at the south terminal + the freighters). The "Templeton" stop of the Canada-Line SkyTrain is right next to this location.
+How to get there:
+) By car: Left at the second traffic light from the airport (15-20 minutes walk). You will see many cars parked on a dirt track beside the road. The subjects are a bit high and the smaller types (Dash-8 etc.) will require a long lens (about 400mm on a fullformat sensor).
+) By foot: The "Templeton" stop of the Canada-Line Sky Train is a 2min walk from this location and on a rainy day you might even stay and hide from the rain in this stop, but it's tricky to keep the lightpoles out of the picture).
+You won't be able to log or even see the departures which always use 26L.
