Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport is the main airport for Sydney, Australia.  Founded in 1920, it is Australia's busiest airport (albeit it is the smallest capital city airport in area) and is the world's oldest continually operated commercial airport.  The airport is named after Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, the famous aviator who was the first to fly across the Pacific Ocean.  Home to Qantas Airways, Sydney Airport is also regularly served by over 50 other airlines, domestic and international.  Currently, more than 26 million passengers pass through the airport each year.

Sydney Airport has some excellent spotting locations, with movements on all three runways (16R-34L, 16L-34R and 07-25) clearly visible from at least one spot each.  Sydney is home to a large community of aviation enthusiasts, many of whom regularly take advantage of the great views from popular viewing locations such as The Beach and Shep's Hill (formerly known as the Tower Mound).
