Official Spotting Locations
There are two official spotting locations in OSL. If you're not up for a long walk, both recuire a car to get to.
Hill on northend of RWY 01L/19R
You get to this location by driving north past the GA terminal. Turn right (into the woods) just after the first roundabout.
This is a great spot. When aircrafts land from the north, they touch down right in front of you. Most of the heavy trafic uses this runway regardless. You also get a good view of the military part of the airport.
Grasy area midway of RWY 01R/19L
Even more difficult to get to. From GA-area drive north, and follow signs to "militær flyplass" (do not drive in there). Drive past this, and after a while you should have a hill and the runway to your right. You come to a left turn where you can take off on a gravel-road to the right, and there you are.
Again a great spot. You have a good view of the terminal area, the SAS hangar and both takeoff and landings on this runway
Other Spotting Locations
Armed forces aircraft collection
Go around the collection, and get to an area whit a decent view of the southend of RWY 01L/19R, and the cargo area. If trafic is from north they usually turn of from the runway before they reach this point. Also the fence might be a bit in the way of photographing.
Terminal
From outside the terminal, you might get a decent look at some of the parked aircrafts. Once passed security you have a good view of the gates and taxi-areas.
End of both RWYs
You can get great shots of arriving and departing aircrafts at both ends of both RWYs. However the authoroties are not to happy about people standing there.
GA Area
Good view of aircrafts parked here and trafic on RWY 01L/19R. Not so good for photography
