A gravel lot near the threshold of runway 03. This runway is used less than 08/26 so movements here can be slow. However, when winds cause traffic to reverse, many departures will use runway 21 to avoid the longer taxi to runway 26, though heavier aircraft will still use the longer runway 26. Because of the distance from the runway and the fence, photographing arrivals is difficult and few departures use this runway. The cargo facilities are close and offer a few opportunities for photos. All movements on this runway can be logged however. Arrivals on runway 08 are in view from this parking lot but are too far away for good photos. | A gravel lot near the threshold of runway 03.

As of January 2022, the official spotting lot has been closed off to the public. However, there is a similar dirt lot adjacent to the original one which provides largely the same viewing opportunities. | |||
