From this place you can get approach shots when runway 21 is in use. Unfortunately the aircraft dissapear behind a building as they are alongside of you. But you can still get good approach shots. Best light in the morning up to lunchtime. | From this place you can get approach shots when runway 21 is in use. Unfortunately the aircraft dissapear behind a building as they are alongside of you.

Just walk north from the terminals to the DHL freight terminal, then continue out on the small parking lot and follow the fence. From this place you can get photos under the planes and from the sides. Just be aware of the wet ground out here! | Just walk north from the terminals to the DHL freight terminal, then continue out on the small parking lot and follow the fence.

== | ===Runway 03=== | ||
If you even want to think about spotting at Rwy 03 you need a car. It is possible to get there by bus, but it's quite tricky if you're not familiar with the area. | |||
To get there from the airport you drive towards Gothenburg on motorway 40. Take exit 76 towards "Landvetter Ö". Drive left onto "Härrydavägen" and turn left again after a few hundred meters onto "Eskilsbyvägen". Drive for about 10 minutes (5.5 km) until you see a blue sign which says "Vrestaby 2" on the right side. Just park the car next to the sign and you're there. You will have the approach lights on your left side and the airplanes will fly in front of you on final approach. | |||
To take photos here you only need a -200 lens but -300 is although recommended. [[File:Map.jpg]] | |||
