LOG 11 AUGUST 2008
A day at the fence started with a look at the military apron. To my surprise it was deserted, only one W-3 was parked outside. Also the two previously stored Yak-40s were not present!. Hereafter I moved to the viewing area on top of the terminal. From here I spotted the spottershill near the beginning of runway 11. Next was a taxi ride to the Media Markt which is very close to this hill. My taxidriver was very sad that I did not want a expensive drive into town, and said he did not know where to go, but I showed him a map and reluctantly he brought me to my destination. There is some garage with a tank and BPM where we stopped and from here I walked to the spottershill. Very nice place and even better today because runway15 was closed so all traffic was planned for this runway. Especially departing traffic had to cross runway11 via the taxiway in front of the hill. Very good!
0619 W-3 camo c/s, parked at military apron
.... W3 white yellow c/s, arrived in the afternoon with a direct approach
045 Yak-40 arrived as PLF101

At 1600 I left and took tram 7 into town, but you could also take tram 9.
Anyone knows why there were no Antonovs/M28s?
