===Grafton Drive Dirt Lot=== | ===Grafton Drive Dirt Lot=== | ||
The dirt lot off of Grafton Drive, just Northeast of the approach end of Runway 34 is the most popular aircraft viewing area at Pease. While this location is not officially designated for spotting, it is not uncommon to see a half dozen vehicles parked watching aircraft.

===Pease Golf Course=== | ===Pease Golf Course=== | ||
The Pease Golf Course is directly adjacent to the approach end of Runway 34. This location has the best afternoon lighting of anywhere on the airport, and appears to be the most popular location on the airport for many spotters who upload to online photography websites. The golf course parking lot offers nice side views of approaching aircraft. On the golf course access road, there is also a gravel parking underneath the approach path of Rwy 34. | |||

==Regular Traffic== | ==Regular Traffic== | ||
Pease has no scheduled airline service. Military aircraft and military charters are the biggest users of Pease currently. Pease competes with the [[Bangor International Airport]] as a stopover location for transatlantic charters, but sees far less frequent visitors. MD-11s and 737s occasionally stop at Pease for fuel. International military aircraft will often stop at Pease for fuel, joining the regular Air National Guard KC-135 traffic. Alpha Flying Service, a corporate charter company, is also based at Pease, flying a fleet of 30+ Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. These small aircraft appear tiny on the huge ex-military airport, but they do fly frequently. | Pease has no scheduled airline service.
