Tegucigalpa - Toncontín Intl

1Military ramps & Museo del Aire

A great place to start your tour around Toncontín is the fabulous Museo del Aire, located to the south east side of the runway. The museum has an interesting collection of aircraft, most of which were formerly operated by the Honduran air force. From the museum's premises the military ramps with Dakotas can easily be viewed with optimal sunlight during most of the day. Photography of aircraft parked on the operational ramp is possible as well.

2East side approach 02 & civil apron

Toncontín's infamous 02 approach, which is mostly used, can be viewed from the road leading around the 02 threshold. The east side is most suitable for viewing, the civil apron can be seen from here as well. Aircraft come in very low to land and if departing from runway 02, they can be graphed from this spot as well.

3High view approach 02

Definitely one of the most spectacular spots to view activities is spot 3. Aircraft on finals for runway 02 have to evade a mountain range so will pass your lens rather erratically here.

4Terminal side

Between the terminal and threshold 20, a small unpaved platform can be found right beside the road. Usually a few Dakotas are seen here, which can be witnessed from the green zone, beside the road. From here, nice views of aircraft departing runway 02 can be obtained as well. More peeks can be obtained from both sides of the terminal.

5Threshold 20

Although runway 02 is mostly in use, spot 5 is a good option when it is not used. Aircraft departing runway 20 taxi right in front of you, but the approach is a bit harder to see.

6Approach 20

For good views of approach 20, follow the road to the city center. Between the large intersection and the threshold a suitable spot can be found to witness activities.
