A large number of airlines fly to the airport, and it is a hub for several smaller carriers. Decent spotting oppertuniteis are available, mostly due to the nearby Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada. | ||

Just north of the Tim Hortons on the corner of Ness and Mount Royal there is a field, over which is the approach for runway 36. Since the approach is directly over the field, you'll mostly get the underside of the airplanes but since the field is decently sized, you can move to the side of the fight path, allowing for more side shots. Due to this, lighting is good pretty much all day (you can adjust your angle to match the sun). Parking is available by the Tim Hortons, or by Silver Avenue. The Yellow Ribbon Greenway offers access by bike/foot. | |||

'''Used to be a good location, but the Museum left the location in October 2018.''' | |||
Located on the second floor of the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, there is an indoor flight deck that offers views of both runways. ATC is played over the speakers (although sometimes quite quietly), and free WiFi is provided. | |||
