Here's a quick preview of what's in store: 0:00 Intro 0:56 Spot 1: "Stairwell at Düsseldorf Flughafen Railway Station & Old Spotters Terrace" Kicking off our journey after the introduction, we embark on a small tour starting at "Düsseldorf Flughafen" railway station located at the airport's eastern end. From here, I'll be your guide to a unique location, perfectly suited for both captivating videos and striking images. This spot grants you an exceptional vantage point, offering a comprehensive view of the apron and even the police helicopter base. 6:34 Spot 2: "Carpark P7" Progressing from spot 1, we board the SkyTrain and set course for Carpark P7. Perched atop the roof is another fantastic location, ideal for spotting aircraft at DUS International. 11:08 Spot 3: "Visitor’s Terrace" This section sheds light on the presently closed visitor’s terrace atop Terminal B. Despite its closure, it remains one of my personal favorites—a prime spot that places you in close proximity to aircraft, and offers a panoramic view of the entire airport. 13:21 Spot 4: "Hill Runway 05L/23R" As our tour approaches its conclusion, we venture toward one of the most demanding spots at DUS. However, with its challenges comes a note of caution, as this location is intertwined with potential dangers if not approached with care. 16:38 Spot 5: "North Side" Diving into our final destination—better suited to be called Area 5 or the northern sector—you'll find a selection of options tailored to various equipment and roles. While many spots here require a tall ladder, there's also a small area allowing you to get your camera over the fence without necessitating a tall ladder. 20:40 Outro A big shout-out to Detlev Helmerich (YouTube):    / @detlevhelmerich   EK056 (flickr): https://www.flickr.com/photos/ek056/ who contributed great footage for this project!
