Located on the west side of the airport, near the threshold of 18R.<br /> Large parking lot, with benches. Good up close views, a great area for families and no hassles from police. Will sometimes be closed during elevated terror threat levels. Scheduled to be closed in 2006 as airport expands to the west.<br /> <br /> Located on Old Dowd Road. Open from dawn until 10pm. Light best from 1pm onwards especially if taking photos of 36L departures that mostly rotate way before the viewing area.<br /> <br /> ===Carolinas Aviation Museum===<br /> <br /> For a nominal $5 entry fee (lower fees for students and seniors), you can use the photo stand near the threshold of 18L. Westward facing, this is an excelent location in the morning when the sun is at your back albeit a little small.<br /> <br /> Located at the north side of airport. Just follow the signs. A great museum with a large variety of aircraft to see, and it's always good to support the museum by purchasing a gift from the shop.<br /> <br /> If navigating from the Overview spot (see above) it's much easier to head out onto the Billy Graham Expressway to avoid going round in loops on the airport perimieter and then follow the signs round.<br /> <br /> ==Other Spotting Locations==<br /> <br /> ===Old Dowd Road Fitness Trail===<br /> <br /> This meandering trail can get you some good &quot;through the fence&quot; views at various points around the west side. However, there is NO PARKING, so be prepared to park your car either at the overlook or some other legal spot. Police will generally leave photographers alone, but no guarantees.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The VOR===<br /> <br /> A great location, especially when arrivals are from the south. While law enforcement has never bothered me there, the potential to be hassled is likely fairly high.<br /> <br /> Located on Byrum Drive.<br /> {{jplink|426611}}<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Locations to Avoid==<br /> <br /> ===Location===<br /> <br /> ==Regular Traffic==<br /> <br /> ==Facilities and Transportation==</div>
