Other Spotting Locations

Parking Garage

Other spotters have had great success at the Love Field parking garage. It is located within walking distance of the passenger terminal. It affords a close mid-runway view of 13R/31L, so you will see mostly Southwest Airlines' operations. I have never been there myself so I do not know how friendly police and security are to spotters.

You must shoot here only in the morning, because afternoon sun will be in your face.

I have had a lot of success shooting from from Parking Garage "B". I head to the top floor if the weather is good or the next to top floor if not. You can get stunning views of takeoffs and taxiing. Here's an example:

East Side Circle

Another morning shooting location is just off Lemmon Avenue on George Coker Circle near Landmark Aviation / Associated Air Center. This spot faces the runway 13 near the approach end. The fence is very tall but with careful placement one can shoot through the chain link with limited success. It is a good place to park right at the fence with no hassles.

Frontiers of Flight Museum

This is another morning location on the approach end of Runway 31. The fence is also high but it is another hassle free spot to watch.

Locations to Avoid

I have spent dozens of hours in the parking garage "B" shooting and never, not once, been approached by law officers.
