An elevated vantage-point for runway 32 landings and take-offs in either direction, although it is only just high enough to clear the airport perimeter fence and the street lights present an additional obstacle. If you have a step-ladder you would be better off shooting runway 32 take-offs and landings from next to the perimeter fence. A possible alternative is using the ladder near the chapel in order to clear the light poles.
