Many times arriving after dark into Adelaide Airport I have seen this sight.

Looking back at the control tower with the main terminal and awaiting/parked planes off to the right and light aircraft off to the left it looks so small and compact. I have seen it change considerably over the years I have been here and have to say I prefer it over nearly all other Australian airports. It’s compact, efficient and very functional. It may not be as exciting or entertaining as our bigger neighbors but if all you want to do is get in and out it’s just right!

I actually didn’t create this image from the tarmac, that would have been very naughty! Instead I scoured the perimeter and found a secret spot where I could take this without a fence in the way. Still I was looking over my shoulder the entire time and was glad to pack up and leave when done.
