King County International Airport is commonly referred to as Boeing Field.
Official Spotting Locations
There is no "official" spotting location for Boeing Field, however the Museum of Flight parking lot is the most commonly used.
Other Spotting Locations
Museum of Flight Parking Lot
This is a great place to spot airplanes arriving on runway 31L.
East Marginal Way and South 86th Street
This is another parking lot that offers a great view of the runway 31L/13R. If you take pictures, bring a step ladder or a truck that you can stand on to see over the fence.
Locations to Avoid
Regular Traffic
Only two passenger airlines that serve Boeing Field; Kenmore Air and Helijet. Cargo Airlines such as DHL, UPS, Airborne Express, Global, ATI, and Ameriflight operate daily cargo flights to the airfield. Military planes such as E-3's, C-17's, P-3's, and F/A-18's are commonly seen making fuel stops or getting upgraded electronics. The Boeing Company's new 737NG's are painted, tested, and delivered from this field, and multiple NG's are seen throughout the day.
