A small hill north of the airport with views of runway 09/27. Great to get pictures of traffic landing on 09 or taking off on 27, has overlooking views of the airport. Follow Mills road along The Flight Path Trail, and park at the bottom of the hill by the Holy Trinity Church. At the top of the hill there is a "Lost Airmen of the Empire" memorial with benches and water. The fence gets in the way a little, but overall great photography. | |||
