Has anyone gone spotting at Toncontin? I can't find much (if any) information online about good vantage points, and how to access them from the airport.

idk, if we were on a 767 or 737 and we were rolling into position with no flaps, I'd get into the aisle and start screaming. I know that sounds frantic, but in the extremely unlikely event the pilots forgot, I'd rather risk arrest than risk petering out near the threshold.
