The airfield has east-west runway with the majority of the activity takes place on the south side. Two shelter areas are used, the largest is in the southeast corner. The flightline is halfway down the runway on the south side and visitors are parked there too.
At the airshow, most of the ramp area around the hangars is accessible, along the flightline and the taxiway towards the aforementioned shelter area.

Excellent pictures can be taken at spot 2 at Cambrai. The police will however not always agree.. (Pieter Taris)
