Addis Abbeba - Ethopia

WHERE First of any description note that this is an extremely poor area and you’ll have to see a few “disgusting” things getting on to the location, also note that this place is safe but you must keep your passport and avoid the area if you’re not going to take pictures of airplanes.

Be aware of there is no ride-share apps at Addis Ababa although taxis are very cheap. Expect to pay 300ETB from the city center. As a hop-off point, St Joseph church is good (Ring Road, አዲስ አበባ) then walk south 5 min you will hit a road which goes downhill, follow that road direction eastbound (picture 1) until the end. Cross the tiny dirt way and keep heading east, you want to find yourself here (picture 2). As a remark you are going to be watching Planes since the moment you hop off, just follow the way of the planes. Then once you got to the position mentioned before you will see a hill very easy to be climbed up. Get on that hill and find the most suitable location for you (picture 3).

WHAT Best for 07L arrivals where you can make nice side shots. Belly shots only for 07R.
TIME
MISC. Eventually, you’ll get people watching you as an alien, most of the people do not know what a camera is. Bring some food and share it with them if you can. And again, this is a safe area!

Aitutaki Airport - Cook Islands

WHERE Aitutaki (AIT/NCAI) is the second biggest airport/airfield on the Cook Islands and handels a few daily flights to/from Rarotonga Avarua (the gateway to the Cook Islands). Normally all landings/departures are „Air Rarotonga“ Saab 340s or Embraer 120s, which are serving the routes RAR-AIT or AIT-RAR in about 50 minutes normally. Our spot is located just by the fence of Aitutaki Airport and can easily be reached by bike or foot. Honestly you can spot wherever you want, because the airport isn‘t that big and the fence is always just about one meter high.
WHAT All airport activities, it doesn‘t matters, if it‘s a departure, arrival or something on the apron.
TIME Depending on the angle and your exact position, but at the position we used, which is marked on the map exactly, light is good from noon till sunset.
MISC. No ladder needed and nothing really nearby, but normally you won‘t stay here for a long time – traffic is quite uninteresting after a few days. Security and „parking“ are no problems here.
FOCAL LENGTH 70-300mm

Follow N-332s street course for 1,7km end exit N-332 at El Altet (Norte)/CV-849/Elx/Elche but bear left and go straight for 550m until a roundabout appears. Take first exit (Avinguda Sant Francesc). Follow street course for 1.3km (CV-849) until the next roundabout appears. Take first exit again and follow the street. A small plaza will be visible after 20m. Park your car here.

Alverca Air Base - Portugal

WHERE Spot located on a walking route named “Trilho de Verdelha”, being used a lot by bikers and pedestrians, so pay attention when walking on this route. A bicycle can cross your path at any time!
You have to park your car next to ETAR de Alverca, since it is prohibited to drive on this route with a car. The walk is about 40 minutes from ETAR de Alverca until the spot, so you have to be there really in advance. Always straight ahead and follow the path until you have a clear view without any bushes above a small bridge, you can’t miss it.
WHAT Only arrivals rwy04.

Alverca offers a lot of very rare maintenance visits from all over the world. You can expect Tchad Air Force C130, Afghanistan Air Force C130, Ethiopian Air Force C130, USAF C130, Pakistani P3, China Eastern ERJ-145, French Air Force C130. But the main maintenance visits are from Embraer. So when you are in Lisbon you always have to have a close look at the traffic in direction of Portugal, it can be a rare Embraer coming in for maintenance, be also careful at checking ADS-B for eventual test flights of the military aircraft, they mostly last 2 hours and are being performed above the Atlantic Ocean. Alverca is also used as a storage Airport for Embraer’s, when they return to lessor or what for a new owner.

TIME From 1600 until sunset.
MISC. Nothing nearby, bring with you what you need. Regarding the runway use in Alverca, it actually depends from Lisbon, they have to follow their circuit – keep that in mind.
04 = most of the time used, 22 only with Southern winds.

WHERE Drive to Ayers Rock airport and the spot will be located next to the terminal on the left side next to the General Aviation ramp.
WHAT Only parking and taxiing aircraft on the General Aviation ramp.
TIME Mostly all the day but try to avoid end of afternoon.
MISC. Heat haze can be a problem on hot days and you are shooting throw fences. You can get some foods/drinks inside the terminal. Be careful of snakes !!

FOCAL LENGTH XXX



Bückeburg Air Base - Germany

WHERE This spot is located at one of the major German air force helicopter air bases called Bückeburg (-/ETHB). This airfield serves as an education air base for German soldiers who are about to serve in international helicopter movements.
Our spot can be found just south of the base, which can be found northeast of the city of Bückeburg itsself, and can be reached best from the south via highway B65 and then Flugplatzstrasse. The position is located at the end of Achumer Str. just at the fence close to a wodden gate to the apron.
WHAT All movements at ETHB, but mostly the arrivals/departures on the runway/pads in front.
TIME Depends on how the helicopters exactly fly, but around noon is best; morning/afternoon work most of the times for most flying routes as well.
MISC. Nothing around. Don’t block the gate with your car and stay a bit from the fence when not shooting. For a handful of pictures you can quickly go there.

Cincinnati Northern Kentucky - USA

WHERE CVG airport belongs to the top 30 of the biggest cargo airports of the world and handled more than 1 Mio tons in 2017. DHL Aviation is the main cause for this high amount of tonnage. It´s not really a small airport and there are a lot of beautiful spotting locations around the borders. BUT sadly the police and airport authorities are everything else than spotter friendly and absolutely not amused seeing people on their property. Thats why we just present that single official spotting location and not a complete guide.

There is just one single official viewing location which is tolerated. Its the CVG airplane viewing area (AVA) which is off Donaldson Road east of the airport and open from 08:00 to 22:00, offering parking, picnic tables, a play area and excellent views of the airfield. The area around the AVA is pretty undulating and the fence is going up and downso walk a bit around to find the perfect position (see yellow line on the map). At some points the fence is lower than you and then you don´t have parts of it in the picture. Not so easy for heavies but narrowbodys are fine.

We collected all other locations in this map. You can give them a try but sooner or later the police will visit you and ask you to leave.

WHAT The AVA is almost in the middle of the runway 18L/36R and perfect for all movements. If you go a few meters back to the entrance of the location you can even photograph arrivals on runway 27!
Sunday morning is the time to view at CVG with multiple heavies coming in besides Amazon Prime 763 which is daily now between 07:00 and 08:00 with a couple of flights.
TIME Runway 18L/36R from sunrise till noon all year round.
Runway 27 from late morning until afternoon all year round. Backlit in summer evenings and early mornings.
MISC. Pretty nice location with benches, picnic tables and even a childs playground.

Copenhagen Sea Airport - Denmark

WHERE Copenhagen Sea Airport (QEC(EKCC) is located almost in the heart of Copenhagens new cool area a bit north of the centrum. It’s not really an airport, rather just one waterwalk, which is being hosted by a little Danish Airline named “Nordic Seaplanes”. This airline is connecting Copenhagen Sea Airport up to 6 times per day with Aarhus.

Our spot is no exact position rather the area along the walkside next to the waterfront. Example shots 2 and 3 were taken from the surrounded waterwalk, example shot 1 was taken from the normal walkway along the seaside and the red line is the way, which the seaplanes drives/swims after arrival/before departure all the time, because the “runway” is a bit outside this harbour.

WHAT Seaplanes onliest airplane, the Twin Otter OY-NSA shown on the example pictures. The plane is flying QEA-QEC-QEA normally all day and can be seen every ~2 hours here at QEC. Time “on stands” is around 30-40 minutes depending on the traffic.
TIME Depending on angle and your position, but light is better in the afternoon.
MISC. Everything you need inside the city or nearby restaurants. No ladder needed and enough parking possibilities nearby.
FOCAL LENGTH 24mm – 300mm depending on the seaplanes position

Cuyahoga County Airport - USA

WHERE CGF is a general aviation airport located near Cleveland, Ohio. The corporate offices of Flexjet are on site. All maintenance for Flexjet, Flight Options and Flairjet are done at CGF. The best spot is the fence that surrounds the airport on Curtiss Wright Pkwy. In particular, the fence on Stage 1 Rd between Constant Aviation and the abandoned bar is best. A ladder is not necessary, as the fence does not go all the way to the ground. One can shoot underneath the fence and a car is recommended (view of the postion).
WHAT The Flexjet ramp, the FBO ramp and Taxiway B are all visible from this spot.
TIME Best from 4 pm to sunset. I have not had a problem with heat haze, but it could happen in the summer. Photos can also turn out very well in cloudy conditions as well. Last time I went during a rainstorm, and my images turned out quite high-contrast.
MISC. All food/restrooms/hotels are available on nearby Richmond Rd. I have not had any encounters with police. Flexjet employees once asked me what I was doing, but they were just curious.
FOCAL LENGTH Less than 100 mm for everything, all jets are within 30 feet of you.

Dalaman - Turkey

WHERE The main spot is just next to the entrance of the Thermemaris Spa & Thermal Hotel. It is only accessable if you are coming from the north on the express way which is leading to the airport. The junction appears shortly after/before the approach path. Drive southwards parallel to the airport perimeter fence until the hotel.
Another opportunity is too continue on the road until you reach the beach where you can spot from too but the aircraft are much higher.
WHAT Arrivals RW01. Planes departing RW19 might be too high. You can just walk along the street and find a suitable spot for your photos.
TIME Sunrise till noon. (Mostly the best time for spotting, as most of the charter traffic arrives in the early morning hours).
MISC. Dalaman is not only a civil airport but also a military air base. For that reason be very careful walking there. The time I’ve been there I got warned by a military officer but as I continued with taking photos he did no further action. In addition there is a forbidden zone in the east but since it’s not affecting this spotting location. Its up to you if you stay there o not. We take no responsibilty!
If you wanna be safe just walk to the beach and you have no problems at all. But don´t move over to the afternoon side as its military zone!
I took a taxi to get there because there was no public transport.
FOCAL LENGTH 90mm for wide bodies (B757), 150mm for narrow bodies (A320 etc.).

Deauville Normandie Airport - France

WHERE This small airfield in the Normandie – located a few kilometers east of the city of Deauville – serves as gateway to this area of the Normandie for GA, Cargo and passenger traffic as you will see plenty little sports aircraft among the few WestAtlantic/ASL freighters and regular Volotea A319 around here.

Deauville Normandie Airport (DOL/LFRG) can be approached well by car and also some bus lines, once you reached the “terminal”, go to the little parking on the east of the terminal building and after you pass a little gate, you will have a great view. Parking is a bit tricky here, but sometimes you can also enter the mentioned parking if the cargate is open too.
If the parking here shouldn’t be accessible, you also have the option to use THIS  terrace in the terminal building itsself. It was closed during Corona crisis, we don’t know when it will reopen…

WHAT The whole GA apron as well as parts of the cargo parking spaces and the PAX aircraft parking.
TIME In the afternoon and evening would be best, however some parking spots are also shootable at noon already.
MISC. Ladder needed inside the parking. Heat haze is a big problem on the runway especially. All you need in the nearby terminal facilities or the city. Parking is difficult here as mentioned…

Dehli Indira Gandhi Airport - India

WHERE Named after Indira Ghandi, Delhi’s airport is currently the busiest in India in terms of passenger traffic, and has been since 2009. Many aviation enthusiasts consider Mumbai the place to go, but the variety of traffic using this airport should give any visitor a chance to see almost all of India’s lo-co airlines with the exception of Air India Express. Its current record stands at handling 82 flights in an hour. No airport in India is an easy proposition and security within the country is very tight. Almost all the world’s major carriers operate into Delhi, but many do so in the hours of darkness, although the hours of daylight will provide an excellent selection of airlines and types.

The airport is generally surrounded by old high concrete walls, but to the south is an area where good photographs can be obtained. The perimeter road marked as UER II (Urban Extension Road 2) near the intersection of Old Delhi Gurgaon Road is the place to be. The ground is filthy and littered with the detritus from fast food, but aircraft on approach to runway 29 are easily captured on camera.

WHAT Here you can get shots of traffic arriving onto runway 29, and also traffic lining up on 29. You will miss many lo-co carriers using the more northerly runways, but you should be able to enjoy a never ending procession of aircraft ranging from ATRs to 747s
TIME The sun is behind you most of the day and patience is required. Sadly Delhi, like Mumbai now has days of extreme air pollution, making even seeing aircraft impossible, and often only a good rain shower will clear the air.
MISC. Many Indians love watching planes, and taking photos on their mobile phones, and wherever a crowd gathers, soon there are food stalls and traders. Here you will attract some stares, but soon mingle with the crowd. In several visits here over a couple of years no problems were encountered.

Accommodation around the airport varies. The more modern European style hotels are located in Aero City (built for the Commonwealth Games of 2010), which does have an Ibis (which in itself is not cheap), but also a lot more expensive hotels. None have rooms overlooking are airport itself, and as the Indian Air force ramp is close by security here is tight. Even to get into a hotel your luggage is X-rayed and you must pass through a body scanner.

Anyone visiting should remember that all airports within India are treated as military bases, and are therefore subject to quite stringent rules. Airlines registered within India should remind passengers that there should be no photography from their aircraft and airlines registered outside India are supposed to ask passengers to refrain from photography. In practice this rarely happens, but it is as well to realise that you may be stopped and questioned at any time.

Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport - United Arab Emirates

WHERE Drive to Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central) but follow Dubai Air Show signs or Jetex FBO signs and continue a bite more after the Dubai Air Show turn signs.
WHAT Only arrivals runway 30 afternoon.
TIME Best afternoon, from 1200 to sunset.
MISC. Theirs nothing nearby this location, so take what you need or drive back to the airport you will find toilets, drinks, foods and free wifi.

+++ SECURITY INFORMATION +++
Spotting in the UAE is neither supported nor understood nor tolerated. Especially taking pictures evincing airport buildings or facilities will may cause problems and punishments (which can range from a check by police to imprisonment in worst case) by the police or airport authorities. We will not be liable for any inconveniences with local authorities. Spotting at Al Maktoum Airport DWC is at your own risk. Keep a low profile wherever you are. Please always adjust your behaviour when travelling into the Middle East states including the UAE to avoid inconveniences with the police. General tip for spotting in the Middle East area: If you have a car stow your camera underneath the seat or in the glove box of the car. Have a map with you to fake a glitch or for an alleged planning of a route.

Florence - Italy

WHERE Florence is with 2.7 Mio passengers one of the smaller airports in Italy. The spotting location is at the end of the Via del Terme next to a employee parking. If you get out of the terminal turn left and walk for approximate five minutes along the hangars until you reach the end of the road. There is a fence so a ladder is recommend but all pictures below were taken through the mesh. If you arrive by car you can try to park at the end of the road but safest option is to use the official airport parking and walk to this position.
WHAT You can see all movements at this location. All flights arrive at 05 as the threshold of 23 is replaced and in this case only 50 percent of the runway is available for incoming traffic. Major carrier is Vueling in addition with the common european legacy carriers.
TIME From sunrise till afternoon all year long.
MISC. Closest facilities are in the terminal.

Geralton - Australia

WHERE Geralton Airport (GET/YGEL) is one of the few gateways to the Western Australian outback. It’s regularly (normally 2-3 times per day) served by F100s and smaller props. Sometimes you might also meet up a B737 or similar here.
This spot is located along “Geralton-Mount Magnet Rd” and no exact position. Can easy be reached from the city, therefore just follow the highway “123”. Park your car by the roadside nearby.
WHAT All arrivals on runway 21.
TIME From late morning/noon till sunset.
MISC. No ladder needed. Nearest facilities in the city or in the very small terminal. Take care of Roadtrains and the wind pressure they create!

Grand Rapids - USA

WHERE The location is the official viewing area of the airport. Take MI Route 6 to the Broadmoor AVE SE exit (#15). Then, you want to take Patterson AVE to the end of Kraft AVE North, the park is on the right. One will need a vehicle to get to this location. There is a fence, but the park is situated on a hill. Typically, we stand on top of the picnic tables when photographing and that is sufficient.
WHAT From the park, one can see all ops on 8R/26L (The main runway). Since the park is quite long, it does not matter the direction of traffic.

TIME Apron: Best in the morning, but some parking spots may also be good/better in the evening.
Runway: Early summer mornings, late summer evenings – not useable in winter for runway shots.
