===Domestic passenger terminal=== | ===Domestic passenger terminal=== | ||
If you go to the domestic terminal, there is a good view of the apron from the 2nd floor. However, there are few problems here. First of all, glass in windows is old and dirty. Then there are "Photography prohibited" signs everywhere. Remember: '''There are no laws in Russia that prohibit taking pictures of aircrafts or in airports'''. However, airport security and police quite like to argue about that. So if you don't want to be arrested, don't stay there for a long time. Or at least don't hold the camera permanently. | If you go to the domestic terminal, there is a good view of the apron from the 2nd floor. However, there are few problems here.

===RWY 05R field spot=== | ===RWY 05R field spot=== | ||
There are some bended steel-concrete poles near the beginning of RWY 05R which are located close to the fence of airfield. Some of this poles are straight vertical, some are bended so you can stand on them. From there you can see aircrafts landing, taxiing and lining up on 05R. The clearly visible section of runway is from TWY E to TWY F, the rest of runway is obscured by ATC service building to the right. This is a very good spot thanks to short distance to aircrafts but getting there is harder than to any other place. Main problem is to cross the field from the road that goes parallel to the runway from Topolevo. It can be muddy, especially in the autumn, so you probably will need a high boots. Then there is a high grass (mainly artemisia, be careful if you are allergic!) all over the field. | There are some bended steel-concrete poles near the beginning of RWY 05R which are located close to the fence of airfield.

Security is not a problem here. There is no police posts around, but airport security can patrol the perimeter using the inner aerodrome road, you need to avoid being seeing by them. Also runway inspection car shows up regularly but looks like they don't care about spotters. | Security is not a problem here.

The only traffic you can catch is morning departures of An-28/38 and Mi-8 and evening arrivals of the same aircrafts. Flights on the rest of the day are very rare. | ||
===All other places=== | |||
If you want to explore the area around - feel free do it. You can find many places around the airport perimeter with some hills, nicely growing trees, poles like in RWY05R spot. Main problem of them all is that these spots often not compensate for the efforts and trouble you might have. | |||

Getting to RWY 23 side is tricky if you don't have a car. The nearest you can get on public transport is get in bus 80 and then get out at stop "Tsentralnaya". Then you will need to walk about 2 km. | Getting to RWY 23 side is tricky if you don't have a car.

There are not many shops in airport area. Main advice is do not buy anything in terminal building, prices are higher by 15-20%. For snacks and drinks you can go nearby gas station or to the kiosk at the bus stop. There are also some shops in Topolevo and Matveevka. | There are not many shops in airport area.
