Creil (BA110)

1Northwest side ramp view

From the D120 through Creil head for Verneuil-en-Halatte, take the D565 southbound to Monte la Ville. In the village make a right turn uphill into Rue Androuet de Cerceau. At the end, make a left on the dirt track. You can pole off the CN235 from a distance from here early morning or late afternoon. Alternatively, walk into the farmland along the fence line to get closer. This is a bit of a walk but the CN235s are not that easy to read off so it is probably worth the effort.

2Aero club

This where a rare Hurel-Dubios HD34 with its huge wing sits on the grass, and a distant view of the main apron can be had. From Creil, take the N330 off the N16 southbound towards Senlis. At the roundabout in the northwest corner of the airfield you can take the road to the civil side, Avenue de la Fôret d'Halatte. This was previously called Chemin de Creil a l'IGN, after the French national geographic institution IGN that used to operate the HD34.

3West side approach runway 07

The N330 runs past the threshold of runway 07. Just north of the gate, you can watch the approaching aircraft and have a distant view of the ramps to see if anything is outside.
