You are on a stand, why would you need a stepladder...

@ Leeuwarden

Probably the stand is to small to carry all the invited spotters. Last time there were several standing in a special marked place at the fence. I can imagine one would prefer a small stepladder.

Hi King! Can't remember that... anyway... stepladders are okay as long they are not in front of spotters without a stepladder.

I do hope 'communication' will be better than last time.

All the small traffic left the runway way to soon ;)

Perhaps ATC can arrange 'long landings' in these cases.

Still... By inviting so much spotters and organizing such an event, these small things can make this day for everybody à succes.

That's why I'll give this one a miss. IMO opportunities at the showdays itself are so much better...

This problem could solve itself to our best with the expected wind conditions which could require the eastbound runway.

Well, all we can do is hope for better 'conditions' then three years ago. ;)

Let's see if they can beat the Spotters-day at Gilze :D

IIRC you had an obstructed view in that direction due to trees and one or two E-ones.

Comparing with Gilze is a bit unfair, as that was an event with primary objective "please the spotters" (in which that one succeeded). This is about getting participants to the base.

Spottersdag 15 september

dinsdag, 13 september 2011 19:19

Aanstaande donderdag is het zover: de spottersdag voor de Open Dagen. Het weer ziet er goed uit en het belooft een mooi dag te worden met aardig wat kisten. Iedereen wordt verzocht om op tijd te zijn bij de parkeerplaats (Fryslânplein) achter het FEC (de bussen beginnen te rijden vanaf 8.00 uur 's ochtends).

Let op: je hoeft geen trappen mee te nemen, ze kunnen niet mee.

Er is genoeg ruimte op de perstribune, deze is groter dan de vorige keer en er is dus genoeg ruimte voor iedereen. Dus doe geen moeite.
