As a care provider to seniors, I am often looking for activities that would be of interest to them. As a child, my grandfather took us to the airport to watch the planes land and takeoff. I enjoyed it, especially at night. Assuming the flights in and out of Capital City are chartered only thus not consistently scheduled per se, are there days and times that are busier. And what about the flying classes, are they at specific times each day? Lastly, what would physically be the best viewing vantage point if we stay in the car or would it be best to come inside the airport? Thank you for reply.
