Official Spotting Locations
Aircraft Observation Area
Gravel parking lot located off of Hamilton Rd. at the Southeast corner of the airport, directly south of the end of runway 28L.
Other Spotting Locations
Parking Garage
The North end of the garage provides good views of arrivals and departures on 28R, as well as the Concourse C ramp. South end provides a good view of the midpoint of runway 28L/10R, which can be good for rotation pictures or shots of planes rolling out on landing.
Level 6 of the main garage also can be good for spotting, but is not as close to the runway.
94th Aero Squadron Restaurant
The 94th Aero Squadron is just East of the airport fire station. It is good for close-ups of aircraft waiting to depart, although a fence separates the restaurant's patio from the airport perimeter road.
