Official Spotting Locations

McKnight Boulevard

A paved lot to the West of the main (16/34) runway. All movements on this runway can be seen and photographed (200-300mm), although the sun is bothersome before noon. Traffic using 10/28 is too far away to be identified from here. Picnic tables and a nearby gas station/store.

Aerial Place (WestJet hangar)

A small dirt lot just past the WestJet hangar. Only good for logging 10/28 traffic as there is a double fence preventing photography. Turn right out of the airport and right again on 78 Avenue then left towards the hangar.

Other Spotting Locations

South Hangars

Off McCall Way. From an employee car park at the end of McTavish Road movements on 16/34 and 07/25 can be logged. Good photos of 16 departures until late afternoon. Remember this is private property but weekends should pose no problems.

Terminal

The food court has large windows from which all airline movements can be logged. Some photography is possible through the tinted glass and also from the roadway to the East of the terminal.

Cargo Area

Further down 78 Avenue the road ends at the cargo facility and fire station. Movements on both runways can be logged from here, but double fencing again prevents photography.

Airport Trail

There are a few locations off this road for runway 16 arrivals. Many are dirt roads, the best of which is 15 Street and this area is probably of interest to only the most dedicated photographer.

Locations to Avoid

Multi-storey car park

Patrolled by private security, but very little can be seen from here anyway.
