This intersection is a grid road and is not very busy. There is enough room to park a car off the road there. It offers great views of both runways, and is good for photography if you have a good zoom lens. | This intersection is a grid road and is not very busy.

13th Avenue runs along the beginning of runway 13/31. It is good for spotting planes overhead that are landing/taking off on 13/31. It also offers views of planes using runway 08/26. There is an approach to park on where the end of the runway is. Warning to photographers: There is a chain-link fence around the perimeter of the airport which makes spotting planes on the ground difficult from this location, but it doesn't affect planes in the air. | |||
