But the track isn’t out of bounds, and they can always taxi in with masks on and visors down if they need to hide identity of the crews. The Israelis didn’t seem to have any problems at Andravida during the spotter days and at Waddington 2001 the crews were only too happy to pose for pics next to their a/c. One pilot even gave me his home address so I could send some photographs to him. I think this could be a rumour as anyone privy enough to have that information at this time certainly wouldn’t be shouting about it.

Seems very strange to take off on 02 whatever the wind .
Does that mean they will also land on 02 ??
More intersted in landing shots than high in the sky take-offs.

Cheers
No, land runway 20 and off straight in to their ramp. Probably why the track at the 02 end is out of bounds.

As we have found out they are following normal practices only avoiding the Southern taxi way.
