@henry hoov3r there are several videos on youtube that give general advice like parking and vantage points. When I used to visit my daughter I could always hear them when I drove down.

We currently have a US Army Lockheed C5-M at our local air force base here at Whenuapai, NZ, 2 minutes from my house. It flew in last night, it looked so imposing! I went and got a couple of pics just now on my way home from work.
Is this America annexing New Zealand now…?
It is, absolutely huge. Saw it at RIAT this year.
For a 'passive' (remote) interest, is an annual FlightRadar subscription the best option, or are there other ways that make more sense ?
I do have an SDR I bought years back that I need to look into again, but I'm not really in a position to get much from it.

Depends what your interest is, you can use many of the features of FR24 for free, though a silver membership at least opens up some useful options / features.
Also look at https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
Not the greatest interface but it includes aircraft that FlightRadar etc do not show.
Just had a hawk mk 167 fly over Cardiff. I could tell without flight radar well before it flew over it was the RAF and a jet . Iv not heard many jets come over recently unless I have been oblivious
Here is the full playback, seems to have taken off at Leeming , and done an approach and possibly land or go touch and go at Cardiff Airport - and headed back

If you setup your own flight radar receiver and feed that data to them they give you a free Business Account. Similar for FlightAware. It's really easy with a compatible SDR and a Raspberry Pi as there is a Flight Tracking Image available in the Pi Imager.
