Treviso - Istrana

1Runway 26

The approach is OK for reading and photography. From this spot you can photograph (300 mm) and read the aircraft approaching this runway. Furthermore you can cross the road and have a look at the base itself (from a small concrete aquaduct that runs along the fence of the Southern part of the base). Reading the MMs on the base is very hard though. To get to this spot exit the SR53 (in Istrana) towards Pezzan. When you see the runway approach lighting you can turn right onto a very small dirtroad and park your car there. This spot only has room for a very limited number of cars so you might be obliged to park somewhere else.

2Runway 08

The other end, the approach of runway 08, is a bit harder. Though it is quite close to the SR53 this road does not offer a good spot to park here. The road is very busy so parking on the side of this road is not an option. If you drive further along the SR53 you will almost immediately arrive in a small village with a large parking spot at the beginning. Walking back to spot 2 take a couple of minutes.

3Main gate

The main gate is worth visiting as well. Quite a large number of aircraft are preserved near the main gate (and on other spots on the base as well) and some can be seen by visiting the main gate. To get to the gate follow the road North from spot 1 and head for Pezzan. From Pezzan you van continue towards the main gate of the base.
