Line Up and Wait
I work at Ardmore airport in Auckland, New Zealand. It's a GA airport and is the busiest airport in NZ! It's a lot busier than Auckland International, but is uncontrolled. I've been on final with five other aircraft, and there's two parallel runways (one grass) with both sharing the same downwind. It can get a bit nuts.
This is a really cool airport sometimes. Not as cool as van Sant in PA, but not bad. Every once in a while the DC3 (actually, a Dakota) will fly in, you get Harvards taking off in formation a few times a week (three in formation today, great sound), and today I saw the Catalina land for the first time. What a great old aircraft.
They actually have sight-seeing trips over the city on Sundays in both the DC3 and Catalina, but I haven't done it yet.
