On the last few days of our 2021 trip to Iceland we had to deal with heavy rain and very strong winds. We booked a hotel that was in an old dorm at the ex-USAF base which was almost on the flight line. What a pleasant surprise! The wife was happy to stay warm and dry in the room so she let me go watch planes.
KEF is an interesting airport. Icelandair is the main carrier and they have a large wave of flights from the USA landing around 6 am and leaving for Europe around 8 am. They start coming back around 3-4 pm. Other than that the airport is very quiet. There were a few European airliners and biz jets coming in. What I like best was the unexpected arrivals - planes that showed up on Flight Radar 24 only when they were over Iceland inbound to KEF. There was also a number of US military flights coming in.
The weather was really bad for a bit - I had to lay across the back seat of the rental car with the window down to avoid the horizontal rain. The car was shaking so badly I thought it would turned over. What an adventure! On our flight home we had access to the Icelandair lounge (it's very nice) and had a good view of the airport. I would definitely love to spend more time there!
I took these photos in late September 2021.

Kind of hard to capture that great morning sunlight streaming in but this is close with the iPhone. Recently (took a little over a year to finally bring everything together) completed a major remodeling in the living room and I still can't believe this is the same living room!
