Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

G'day Arnold,

Lots of great shots there. Thank you for sharing. :bthumb:

Could you describe how you got to your first point "near the checkpoint for runways 03"? Did you get there by car or did you walk some?

I was there in 07 so I am roughly familiar with the area and I will be spending another 3 days there in the first week of November.

I managed some approach shots from across the small gully at the end of 03 on my trip;

but I didn't know how to get closer from that end.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Cheers,
Motty.

Hi Motty,

This is the spot for runway 03:

You can park your car here:

Many thanks Stefan.

The second link (carpark) comes up as the entire United States though. Surely there's somewhere closer? :P

Cheers,
Motty.

There is a spot closer to that. Head straihgt to the right from the spot until you are 'above' the first blue building you encounter in GE.

That's fantastic, thank you very much.

Now I just have to hope that they will still be using the new runway when I get there.

Cheers,
Motty.

Hi Motty,

regardeless which runway will be in use, the taxiway pointed out in Arnold's reply will nevertheless be in use anyway. During the morning hours it's a great spot.
