==Official Spotting Locations== | ==Official Spotting Locations== | ||
=== | There are two official spotting locations in OSL. If you're not up for a long walk, both require a car to get to. | ||
===Hill on north end of RWY 01L/19R=== | |||
You get to this location by driving north past the GA terminal. Turn right (into the woods) just after the first roundabout. | |||
This is a great spot. When aircraft land from the north, they touch down right in front of you. Most of the heavy traffic uses this runway regardless. You also get a good view of the military part of the airport. | |||
===Grassy area midway of RWY 01R/19L=== | |||
Even more difficult to get to. From GA-area drive north, and follow signs to "militær flyplass" (do not drive in there). Drive past this, and after a while you should see a hill and the runway to your right. You come to a left turn where you can take off on a gravel-road to the right, and there you are. | |||
Again a great spot. You have a good view of the terminal area, the SAS hangar and both takeoff and landings on this runway. | |||
==Other Spotting Locations== | ==Other Spotting Locations== | ||
=== | ===Armed forces aircraft collection=== | ||
Go around the collection, and get to an area with a decent view of the south end of RWY 01L/19R and the cargo area. If traffic is from north they usually turn off from the runway before they reach this point. Also the fence might be a bit in the way of photographing. | |||
===Terminal=== | |||
From outside the terminal, you might get a decent look at some of the parked aircraft. Once past security you have a good view of the gates and taxi-areas. | |||
===GA Area=== | |||
Good view of aircrafts parked here and traffic on RWY 01L/19R. Not so good for photography. | |||
==Locations to Avoid== | ==Locations to Avoid== | ||
=== | ===End of both RWYs=== | ||
You can get great shots of arriving and departing aircraft at both ends of both RWYs. However the authorities are not to happy about people standing there. | |||
==Regular Traffic== | |||
===Passenger=== | |||
A good variety of domestic and inter-European flights dominated by SAS and Norwegian. SAS, Norwegian, PIA, Thai, Qatar and Continental fly regular long haul to New York (EWR), Dubai, Islamabad, Lahore, Bangkok, and Doha. | |||
Futher new IC services are expected for 2012. | |||
===Cargo=== | |||
Korean Air with a 744. DHL, UPS, Icelandair etc. | |||
