There is a wide roadside walkway and few obstacles for photography. The only drawback is that the road is beneath the level of the runway at this point so through-the-fence touchdown photos are not possible. | ||
'''Time of day:''' You can shoot from either side of the flight path so this spot is good for the whole day, although photos will not turn out so well when the sun is at its highest. On hot days avoid shooting at long range (300-400mm) because heat distortion will affect the photos in spite of the aircraft's height above the ground. | '''Time of day:''' You can shoot from either side of the flight path so this spot is good for the whole day, although photos will not turn out so well when the sun is at its highest.
