      Priviet! You can't go real close to the airport due to restricted areas, but you can spot from both ends of runway depending on the season you arrive
      ​​​​​
      For RWY 04 - 18th mile Junction and surrounding area or
      the Lagoon.

      For RWY22 - Middle Marker Beacon / The Warehouse / The Ground area is fine.

      For More information contact me or other fellow spotter based in CMB/VCBI via instergram or VK

      Also Please Keep in mind if you are using a DSLR/Mirroless Camera, keep a low profile.
