This is a great spot. When | This is a great spot. When aircraft land from the north, they touch down right in front of you. Most of the heavy traffic uses this runway regardless. You also get a good view of the military part of the airport. | ||
===Grassy area midway of RWY 01R/19L=== | |||
Even more difficult to get to. From GA-area drive north, and follow signs to "militær flyplass" (do not drive in there). Drive past this, and after a while you should see a hill and the runway to your right. You come to a left turn where you can take off on a gravel-road to the right, and there you are. | |||
Again a great spot. You have a good view of the terminal area, the SAS hangar and both takeoff and landings on this runway. | |||
