Good afternoon all,

Fantastic report Rutger. I have a couple of questions for you about the Finkenwerder spotting positions. Do you have some google coordinates for the RW 23 harbor spotting tower, and is it open for the public or can we risk beeing chased away by the local police?
I'm going there tomorrow Monday, so maybe you won't see this before then, but then I know for future reference.
BTW. How many mm are needed for the RW23 shots, will a 300mm be enough?


Greetings from Denmark

Jlund,

thanks for your question...
I will post it on this topic because it maybe usefull for some other people as wel...

first off all the coordinates of the parking position for this place is:

53°32'30.79"N
9°51'26.95"E

there will be a small round about where you can park your car at...
on the left you will see a big red round tower with stairs you are allowed to get in there from that spot you have an great over view over finkenwerder
only if that runway is in use else you can drive to the offical position at RW05

coordinates for position RW05 are:

53°31'51.73"N
9°49'52.31"O

there was no police at all when we were there...

and about the mm, I got a beluga landing at RW23 with about 92MM (picture 81)
and the Air china A321 (picture 83) I made with 170mm so you will be fine there with 300mm :) please note the heatwaves offcourse...

for the RW05 spot 300mm is also fine :)

here a little map for spot at RW23:

Image

red= driving
blue= parking
yellow= walking

I heard that the Orange A320 from EZY should do a rejected take off test tomorrow!!

so I hope you get some nice shots :)
kind regards,

Rutger Patterson
