SAN JOSE-JUAN SANTAMARIA AIRPORT

Spotting Info
The Restaurante La Candela on the opposite side of the runway from the terminal opens at 10am and has a long terrace higher than the perimeter fence and serves very cheap and very cold Imperial local beer. The sun is good for photos until 1pm. There is also a small aviation museum, which is home to a DHC4 (former MSP010). The general aviation area is out of sight but you can log most of the frames outside the COOPESA hangars.
