Yelp/Greg K.
The Oxford airport is a small airport that is used mainly by charter companies, but there are still plenty of planes to view - just not the large commercial airplanes of international airports.
The outdoor patio area has a wonderful view of the runway and is a great place to dine in the warm weather.
