Ostend airport

Post by KoenMol »

In a few weeks i am home for 8 days, during my vacation i would like to go to Ostend Airport to "shoot some birds"
But, since i have never done this before, and i do not want to do something illegal, risk my life, or do something that is not done in planespotting and photography i was looking for some tips about where to stand, what to do and what not to do.
However, google unfortunately was never my biggest friend, and i get lost in all the information that could be found on the subject.

Therefore i ask you, the experiences spotters, can someone tell me where to go, what to do and what not to do?

Thanks in advance

Thank you, looks like some nice info about Ostend there.

However i read:
Unfortunately, its permit to operate out of Belgium has been cancelled.
So that means that not much birds get air anymore there?
