You need a ladder (3 steps) at this position! The light is good from sunrise until 5p.m. I would recommed lenses from 70mm up to 400mm. | ||

From this point | From this point you have a great view over the northern runway (09L/27R) an its taxiways. For shots on the runway it's good to have at least a 300mm lens (for aircraft down to CRJ-size). The taxiway however is very close here, so you really need a wide angle lens (e.g. 30mm for a Yak42). | ||

===Münchner Straße=== | |||
For those in a hurry, it used to be possible to get a quick glance at the apron and traffic on runway 09R/27L from the parking strips along Münchner Straße (located south of the airport), but more and more buildings (mainly freight forwarders) meanwhile are blocking those views. Still it is possible to park there and walk closer to the airport fence, but above mentioned spot #8 has the advantage of no thru-traffic (definitely no trucks). | |||
===End of runways=== | |||
Those who like to stand directly underneath approaching (landing) aircraft can do so easily on 3 of the 4 ends at HAJ. <br> | |||
The far end of runway 27R is reached from Engelbostel via Resser Straße. It is possible to park a car there without problems. <br> | |||
The far end of runway 27L can be reached on foot from above mentioned positions #8 and #10. When coming from #10, park your car in the village itself, do not drive all the way to the designated area. <br> | |||
The far end of runway 09L is reached from Evershorst. You need to park your car in the very small village, as many roads are not open to public vehicles. On the road leading east from Evershorst to Kaltenweide, a bridge leads across motorway A352. From there head-on shots of approaching aircraft are possible. <br> | |||
The far end of runway 09R is the least good accessible one, as many areas are fenced off (being used as private parking lots for cars and trucks). Keep an open eye here and observe signs, as the situation changes rather frequently here. | |||
