==Official Spotting Locations==

===Location===

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Terminal 7 departure lounge===
Ideal for activity on 13L. Great for 13L TDZ shots and gate action.
{{anetlink|829698}}

===Bayswater Park===
Great for 13R takeoff, 31L landings, 4R landings.
On Mott Ave. right off of Sheridan Blvd.

{{jplink|6005616}}

===The Mounds===
A large mound next to a football (soccer) field. In between 230 st. and 230 pl., behind the school. Arivals on 22L can be seen from this location, and the light is especally nice during the late evening hours.
Locals are typically friendly and on some days you might even enjoy a soccer match while spotting. Be careful of tics.

===Howard Beach===
Nicknamed "HoBe", this spot is located on Cross Bay Blvd, and provides and excellent view of planes taking off from runway 31L. The planes turn left after takeoff in the interest of noise abatement, so nice banking shots are common.

{{jplink|6144486}}

===The Ramada Parking Lot===
The Ramada parking lot is also a good place for arrivals on 13L. It is located on 144 JFK Airport Drive, and I have not been hassled by police.

==Locations to Avoid==

Please try to avoid photography from within the airport grounds.

==Regular Traffic==
Airlines common on a daily basis, and during daylight hours:

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Layton Avenue Viewing===

Located on Layton Avenue, North of the Airport. Has nice views of runway 19R, however there are multiple fences between the parking lot and the runway. Hard to get a good shot of traffic on runway and neighboring taxiways. Good for landing shots on days where 19R is in use. Shots taken from this location :

{{anetlink|1261162}}

{{anetlink|1249726}}

===Amtrak Station===

Located at South 6th St. and Air Cargo Way. The Amtrak station gives a nice approach shot to runway 7R. When looking east, there is a large hill on your right where the planes fly over on approach. The hill isn't a problem if you have a lens larger than 55mm (100mm should be okay).

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Parking Garage===

On the 6th floor of the parking garage you get a good view of half of the E Concourse. You need a large lens to get any photos of the E Concourse or runway 7R-25L operations.

{{anetlink|1259504}}
{{anetlink|1283611}}

===Oak Street===

At the dead end of Oak Street you have a nice view of planes coming in on RWY 01. Only good in the afternoon when the sun is behind you. A lense between 70-300mm is perfect to catch all kinds of aircrafts.

{{jplink|6702160}}

==Locations to Avoid==

===South 6th Street===

Past the Amtrak Station turn off, the road continues under the approach to runway 7R. There are No Stopping signs posted. Police frequently patrol this road.
