FedEx is only suitable from early afternoon onwards as the Sun is facing in the morning. Good touchdown and approach shots can be had for 05 and it is excellant early evening when 23 is in use as it is located roughly where most heavies rotate on departure. | |||
Police have been known to check this location occassionally and it does get very popular on Summer weekends. I have not seen anyone getting moved on unless they are obstructing the crash gate or parking on the left side of the road. | |||
Be careful if you are taking kids, there is a police firing range right beside the hill, which is often in use. | |||
