The occasional executive jet, civil or military transport or light plane may be parked here, though light aircraft tend to be parked far from the fence at a point where the ground dips, making them hard to photograph. There are cutouts for photography at intervals in the fence. Unless your subject is close to the fence you'll have to watch out for heat distortion and you may have to wait for the sun to start descending. | [[Image: Charlespolidano_Il-76.jpg |left|thumb|200 px|Ilyushin Il-76 in park 4 (50mm).]][[Image: Charlespolidano_Skymaster.jpg |thumb|200 px|Reims Skymaster in park 4 (110mm).]]The occasional executive jet, civil or military transport or light plane may be parked here, though light aircraft tend to be parked far from the fence at a point where the ground dips, making them hard to photograph.
