After a short while I walked around to the dock to the north of the airfield. Here you're generally shooting into the sun, but the view is excellent.
This chap got a thread from his hi-viz caught on an Embraer 190:

The back-lighting and heat haze are not good, but I like this as an action shot:

No airbridges at City, and there's not much room, so some tight turns are required when manoeuvring on the apron. The noseleg on Embraer E Series aren't vertical, so one tyre really feels the pressure(!) when turning tightly:

Q400s have a vertical noseleg, so the tyres don't work quite so hard:

This is how to get a really good view:

All shot with a Canon EOS 30D and EF 100-400L lens, shutter priority (1/1000th for flying, 1/500th for on the ground, 1/250th for props), ISO set to give an aperature around f8 (roughly 200-400). C&C welcome.
