Hi All,

Just back from a nice Holiday and of course there was something to spot (not much)
This is what I saw and no visitors noted by me during our whole stay.

Happy Spotting at Curacao

Hi all,

In a couple off weeks I am going to go to CUR for the first time and off course I am bringing my camera with me. Now I have a small question about the airport and spotting the aircraft on it.

Is it easy to go spotting there? Are there any viewpoint I can go to to make nice pictures. The lenses I am taking with me are a 70-200 and a 100-400 so distance will normally not be a problem. I also rented a car so getting around the island is no problem.

I hope someone can help me out here. And if someone is in CUR between march 4th and march 15 and wants to go planespotting as well just pm me and maybe we can set a date for it. Always better with more people around.

Greetings,

Timo

In short: there are a lot of options, and you will have the sun in your back for the entire day. E.g., location 12°11'20.01"N 68°58'35.33"W is a dirt road (direction San Pedro Springs) that has most of the arrivals and departures (or even all of them, given the regular wind direction at CUR). Be aware of the US security at the US FOL area, which you are close to.
And there's a lot of other spots, just move east and west along the airfield boundary. You can't miss!

Yes I know you are right. Just have already so much aviation magazines to read every month. But still I think I will become a member soon.

But thanks for your quick response I will check this place out.
