I found a variety of spots. It took some time to end up at the right place sometimes, especially on day 1, when the runway direction was constantly changed. Security was very active outside the base, on foot and 4WD's, but somehow they missed us. Keeping a very low profile without acting suspiciously, away from the fence, is the key I guess. Nevertheless, it is a good base for both spotting and photography, especially on the westside (which was my biggest surprise). Plenty of activity (also in weekends), variation in spots and a few elevated observation points providing an almost complete overview of runway and ramps. Just don't stick around at these places for long! I used them to check the runway in use, what's new on the tarmac and look for a nice secluded photo spot.
A new large control tower is being constructed on the northside, between the US base and the civil terminal.

Not everything I photographed is shared here, due to the presence of infrastructure on some shots. That applies unfortunately to the RAF Airseeker, MO Eagles, some F-16s and USS Wasp around the corner.
Starting off with the QRA returning, including a C with IRIS-T missiles:
