[http://www.libertystation.com/yearround/ntcpark.html NTC Park] is located within the Liberty Station complex on the site of the former Naval Training Center. This facility is just west of the airport, and during normal operations with arrivals and departures on runway 27, departing aircraft fly overhead. Traditional side shots are tricky because most aircraft will be a bit high by the time they get to this area, but if you desire underside angles of departing aircraft, or just want to watch aircraft takeoff, this isn't a bad spot. It would likely be good during reverse operations with arrivals on runway 9, but as this typically happens during poor weather conditions, it still isn't amenable for photography. | [http://www.libertystation.com/yearround/ntcpark.html NTC Park] is located within the Liberty Station complex on the site of the former Naval Training Center.

However, runway 9 may also be used when strong winds from the east, known as Santa Ana Winds, occur. | ||
