Plane spotters in Montreal
Montréal airport makes plane spotting easy by having a Park right next to one of the runways. (www.cbc.ca) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
BWI Marshall has a spotter Park, the Dixon Aircraft Observation Area, across Dorsey Rd. at the se end of 15R/33L, and a hill off the bike trail that overlooks the west end of 10/28. Plus in the terminal there’s a comfy 3rd floor observation deck with a wine bar that is outside of security between Concourse B and C, that overlooks a number of gates and the runway intersections at some distance (I like their prosecco, and rocking chairs). Nice airport.
Awesome.. now if Orlando (MCO) Would make a place near a runway for us...they have a place on top of terminal roof about 2500 feet from runways..
Please.. many of us photographers are licensed pilots and trustworthy retirees.. Vegas an LA are not afraid of us.. come on Orlando..

Should check out the one at RDU.
My favorite is the Gravely Point boat launch area on the north side of DCA, about 100 feet from the threshold of runway 19. When they are running the River Approach, you can watch the approaching planes all cranked over in a right bank trying to get lined up with 19. You can practically count the rivets!!
MSP has a nice area inside of the runways; accessed on service road. Good parking, picnic tables, views of both terminals.
If only the US learned from this.
To some degree we do. Several locations across America have spotter parking. Camp Pendleton along I-5 put in one both N and S bound for our activity.
Dude, We have. Las Vegas has had a spotter's parking area for the past 20 years. It's right next to runways 8L/26R, and has ATC broadcasting to anything in that area over normal FM radio, so you can use your car stereo to listen to the Tower.
KVGT (North Las Vegas) has the same thing, but it is tucked between the approach end numbers of runway 12R and 7, on the corner of Decatur and Lake Mead Blvd. ATC is broadcast to that area as well.
I have yet to see another airport in the US have this, along with ATC being piped directly to your car stereo.
