OSTEND AIRPORT. (read the info bellow).

Ostend (EBOS) has a 3200m. runway (RW26-08) with an ILS on the 26,

and RW32 (grassrunway), hardly ever used.

INFO:

1: good all day till late afternoon (when RW08), 80mm lense for B747 lining up.

(500mm for the Dart IL76 taken from this point).

2: On the camping, walk along the fence and see for yourself where you wanna stand.

(if you walk till the end, you can take pixs of the planes while breaking and vacating RW26,

this means you can stand here when RW08 or 26 in use!) The sun is behind you all day!

(1 and 2 are my favourites! but stand1 is only for RW08 in use).

3: While taxiing in the evening (when RW08), there's a 'carre' shaped house.

4: 'Schoolstreet': take a picture of the L1011 on your right, apron is on your left.

300mm for runway shots , taking taxishots in late afternoon and evening.

5: Main building: Nice view, but no terrace, so bad pictures through window !

Next to this building: (police officer always there, but you can ask the man), view on the apron.

6: Go of the road and drive to the farm (2 of them which are connected with eachother),

Don't walk through the field !!!, stay on the small road and take a picture of the first plane in the row.

7: Good in the evening (or not too much sunlight) when RW26 for landings, or lining up for departure.

75mm for IL76 on the loop, 135mm? lining up.

8: Stand on the shopping carparks for landings.

9: Great all day, but car required!
