130 approach

The approach of runway 30 is quite nice, both for reading and photography. You can position yourself along road number 44 (somewhere in the neighbourhood) where you will end up following the 'Getting There' information above. If you prefer being a bit more out of sight you can chose to stand alongside a dirt road nearby.

2Along the runway

This spot is actually situated along the complete runway. There is a dirt road that runs parallel to the runway and base perimeter. It gives a good view of the complete base and the aircraft that are outside (both stored and active). The road can be found by turning left from the 44 after you pass the base. Driving the road is dependent on the weather conditions. When its raining driving the road becomes tricky.

312 approach

Completing your log of the aircraft outside takes you to the approach of runway 12. Beware that the dirt road slowly changes to a cattle path and you might find yourself parking your car at some time and walking the rest. Alternatively you can access this spot via a road called Kaffka Margit utca. When runway 12 is in use you can position yourself for landing shots. Before midday you are a bit under the aircraft because of a line of trees, but once the sun swings around you can spread further out into the field to get better angles. From here you can also view the Gripen flightline.
