The cache is hidden at a road beside the Songshan Airport (domestic).
After Taoyuan Airport is built, the function of Songshan Airport is limited only for the domestic lines. Recently, HSR (high speed railway) opens through Gaoshung, requirement for the domestic airlines are much decreasing. 10 years ago, around the cache point you can watch many airplanes flying over you, but today very few.
On the other hand, improvement of fuel consumption and noise reduction of engines, they can fly to nearby Asian countries despite of short runway and location of Sonshang airport. The good example is the direct lines to China mainland. Another example is, from autumn of 2010 Songshan (Taipei) - Haneda (Tokyo) lines will open, as the new runway opens on Haneda side.
*Around Haneda Airport, a cache of which theme is the special landing method "Haneda Curve" (GC28043) is put, and we can see airplanes fly over the cache. After the new runway of Haneda Airport opens, the airplanes won't fly over GC28043, but it'll be inherited to this cache.
***Attention***
This cache is for guiding you to the magnificent view of airplanes (not for enjoying hard searching). And however it's a public and safe place from the viewpoint of geocaching.com "airport rule," we shouldn't do suspectful action. Please be careful:
(finding cache)
o THE CACHE IS SET ON PERFECTLY PUBLIC PLACE, and the container is enough small (3'' x 1'' candy (Frisk) case with magnet, Tokyo style), so that not to be suspected as danger materials.
o If not found, read the hint. If not, ask me for additional hint. Again, please DO NOT DO SUSPECTFUL ACTIONS.
o There're many kid/family muggles depending on day/time. Please be careful when taking up/returning.
(observing the airplanes)
o Beside the road (yes, airplanes just fly over you) would be enough safe, but the agency warns that there's a risk to be injured by broken airplane parts.
o The CARS ARE MORE DANGEOURS. :-) Don't stop in the middle of the road.
o Not only the airport facilities, also do not enter in the private area. There're farms at which they grow vagetables. Also do not park your car around there. The road is narrow but sometimes busy.
