The lot only overlooks Runway 26, but this runway is the primary calm-wind runway for the airport. The parking lot is directly adjacent to the ramp and has only a chest-high fence (no ladders required). The barbed wire topping the fence has been tied back by frequent visitors, so it shouldn't get in the way. Light is best in the early morning. 100-300mm of focal length is sufficient for most traffic taxiing and on Runway 26, 400mm is necessary for smaller aircraft operating on 26. | ||
