Other Spotting Locations
Long-Term Parking
You can take the elevators to the top floor and you get a sweeping view of the main runway, 12R/30L, and to your left is runway 3. Most traffic is usually on 12R, you can get some nice rotation shots from that angle. Sometimes runway 3 is used and although I have never been spotting when runway 3 is used, I'm sure you can get some nice shots of approaching aircraft, the only problem is that the floodlights will probably get in your way. A quick call to Public Affairs at 210-207-3450 is usually a good idea prior to going out.
