	If you are just logging airplanes without photographing this might be the ideal location for you as all landings of 26R will have to pass by here in order to get to 26L for takeoff and you can read of the registrations of all departing aircraft (use 26L). If you're taking pictures it might only be of interest as a refuge on a (frequent) rainy day but even then I personally would prefer the Templeton Stop of the Canada Line (see "Templeton ~~Road~~" comment).

	The Templeton ~~Location~~ is the best for most traffic, as almost all aircraft land on runway 26R, during favorable wind conditions.

The Templeton Street location is the best for most traffic, as almost all aircraft land on runway 26R during favorable wind conditions.

	1) By car: Left at the second traffic light from the airport (15-20 minutes walk). You will see many cars parked on a dirt track beside the road. The subjects are a bit high and the smaller types (Dash-8 etc.) will require a long lens (about 400mm on a fullformat sensor).		* By car: Left at the second traffic light from the airport (15-20 minutes walk).

	==="Avis" Lot===		==="Avis" Lot===
	The most desirable location if you want to take pictures and have the coastal mountains as the background. This is the first turn left out of the airport by the blast screens. Excellent photos over the fence and all 08L/26R movements can be seen. However ~~(there had to be one didn't there ?)~~, the businesses on this road are private property and not very tolerant. You can get lucky and be left alone for hours or be unlucky and thrown out immediately. Worth the gamble though.

	This is on the other (South) side of the airport from the main terminal and there is a parking lot which overlooks the ramp and the rather distant 08R/26L runway.

	All arrivals as well as those using runway 12 can be logged and photographed although the location faces ~~South~~ and so is best in the early morning/late evening in the summer. Also along Ferguson Road past the UPS facility there is a raised hill area. Good to photograph on sunny summer evenings when the airport is landing west.
