A gravel lot near the threshold of runway 03. This runway is used less than 08/26 so movements here can be slow. However, when winds cause traffic to reverse, many departures will use runway 21 to avoid the longer taxi to runway 26, though heavier aircraft will still use the longer runway 26. Because of the distance from the runway and the fence, photographing arrivals is difficult and few departures use this runway. The cargo facilities are close and offer a few opportunities for photos. All movements on this runway can be logged however. | A gravel lot near the threshold of runway 03. This runway is used less than 08/26 so movements here can be slow.

If you do not want to go through security to get to the Spotting Lounge, this is probably the best place for 08 departures. | Most movements on 08/26 (the main runway) can be logged.
