== Spotting Locations ==

===Post Office===
This spot is located on Air Cargo Rd. on the east side of the airport. Take Air Cargo Rd. south until you see the post office on the left hand side, it is just north of the Employee Parking Lot. Pull into the Post Office and walk east down the south side of the building. There is a fence at the end which will provide good views of Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R. This spot is best in the afternoon and late evening. A 70-300 is recommended, although a 70-200 will work absolutely fine. You will have to shoot through a fence at this location.

===Long Term Parking Garage===
Drive towards the Terminal and park in the short term parking garage (1st hr free). Then walk to the long term garage (just north of the short term garage). On either side there are stairwells which provide a good place to stand without blocking parking spaces. For the east side you can see traffic on the east terminal ramp, Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R Ops. A 100-400 will work fine for the east side. For the west, you can see West Concourse North Ops (basically CO, UA) using the gates and the taxiway just north of the concourse. Runway 17R/35L ops are pretty much useless for the limited visibility and long distance to the runway. For terminal ramp and gate ops, a 70-200 is fine. If you want to attempt 17R/35L ops, bring the big nasty out. 300-500 if heat haze doesn't kill you. East side is afternoon/evening, west side is morning with limited afternoon if the light is right.

===2nd Level Departure Road===
Park in the short term, then take the elevator down to the basement, then catch the moving walkways into the terminal, then take the escalators to the top level and exit the Terminal, on the west side of the terminal a walkway goes down the departure roadway, near the west concourse. Follow this down until you can see over the wall comfortably, the wall starts about 25 feet high, then tapers off to about 3-4 feet. Good head on shots can be taken with planes using the UA/CO gates. Other than that, you won't get much other action from this spot. Police are on duty less than 200 feet away, bring all identification and leave at once if they ask you to. Don't argue your rights, just find somewhere else to shoot. They normally won't bother you. A 70-200 will work. Morning spot and some (very limited) afternoon/evening.

===Surrounding Public Roads===
There are 3 main roads that surround the OKC Airport, all provide some sort of viewing of the airport, all of which require a shoot and run technique. First, the road just north of the airport,54th Street, mainly arrivals and departures is all you will see. You have to find a place to exit the road (there is a curb, but some parts are flattened "driveways"). Make it quick -- get out quickly, take your pictures, and leave. Next is Portland Ave., it runs parallel to runway 17L/35R and does not have curbs, you can pull off wherever you want to, but there are "no parking" signs. Get out, get to the fence, take your pics, and leave. For 104th Street which runs on the south side of the field is good for departures and arrivals, which will be overhead, just as 54th Street. For 104th street, there is not really a good way to get anything arriving on Runway 35R in the morning. For the afternoon, there are a few driveways to farms you can pull into and sit for a few minutes. It takes a little bit of practice and planning to figure out which driveway is best. For runway 35L in the afternoon, the best driveway I have found is the 2nd driveway on the right if you were coming from MacArthur Blvd. 150-300mm would be required for that, although I have had moderate success with my 70-200 with a little bit of cropping. For runway 35R on 104th street, there is really only one driveway nearby and it requires 300-400mm or so. The best advice is to drive around a little bit and test out which driveway/angle works best for you.

54th: Arrivals, 70-200mm will work, more will be better. Departures (overhead) 300-400+mm {{anetlink|1599371}} {{anetlink|0383758}} {{anetlink|1641848}}
Portland: 300-400mm 
104th: Same as 54th.

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

== Spotting Locations ==

===Post Office===
This spot is located on Air Cargo Rd. on the east side of the airport. Take Air Cargo Rd. south until you see the post office on the left hand side, it is just north of the Employee Parking Lot. Pull into the Post Office and walk east down the south side of the building. There is a fence at the end which will provide good views of Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R. This spot is best in the afternoon and late evening. A 70-300 is recommended, although a 70-200 will work absolutely fine. You will have to shoot through a fence at this location.

===Long Term Parking Garage===
Drive towards the Terminal and park in the short term parking garage (1st hr free). Then walk to the long term garage (just north of the short term garage). On either side there are stairwells which provide a good place to stand without blocking parking spaces. For the east side you can see traffic on the east terminal ramp, Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R Ops. A 100-400 will work fine for the east side. For the west, you can see West Concourse North Ops (basically CO, UA) using the gates and the taxiway just north of the concourse. Runway 17R/35L ops are pretty much useless for the limited visibility and long distance to the runway. For terminal ramp and gate ops, a 70-200 is fine. If you want to attempt 17R/35L ops, bring the big nasty out. 300-500 if heat haze doesn't kill you. East side is afternoon/evening, west side is morning with limited afternoon if the light is right.

===2nd Level Departure Road===
Park in the short term, then take the elevator down to the basement, then catch the moving walkways into the terminal, then take the escalators to the top level and exit the Terminal, on the west side of the terminal a walkway goes down the departure roadway, near the west concourse. Follow this down until you can see over the wall comfortably, the wall starts about 25 feet high, then tapers off to about 3-4 feet. Good head on shots can be taken with planes using the UA/CO gates. Other than that, you won't get much other action from this spot. Police are on duty less than 200 feet away, bring all identification and leave at once if they ask you to. Don't argue your rights, just find somewhere else to shoot. They normally won't bother you. A 70-200 will work. Morning spot and some (very limited) afternoon/evening.

===Surrounding Public Roads===
There are 3 main roads that surround the OKC Airport, all provide some sort of viewing of the airport, all of which require a shoot and run technique. First, the road just north of the airport,54th Street, mainly arrivals and departures is all you will see. You have to find a place to exit the road (there is a curb, but some parts are flattened "driveways"). Make it quick -- get out quickly, take your pictures, and leave. Next is Portland Ave., it runs parallel to runway 17L/35R and does not have curbs, you can pull off wherever you want to, but there are "no parking" signs. Get out, get to the fence, take your pics, and leave. For 104th Street which runs on the south side of the field is good for departures and arrivals, which will be overhead, just as 54th Street. For 104th street, there is not really a good way to get anything arriving on Runway 35R in the morning. For the afternoon, there are a few driveways to farms you can pull into and sit for a few minutes. It takes a little bit of practice and planning to figure out which driveway is best. For runway 35L in the afternoon, the best driveway I have found is the 2nd driveway on the right if you were coming from MacArthur Blvd. 150-300mm would be required for that, although I have had moderate success with my 70-200 with a little bit of cropping. For runway 35R on 104th street, there is really only one driveway nearby and it requires 300-400mm or so. The best advice is to drive around a little bit and test out which driveway/angle works best for you.

54th: Arrivals, 70-200mm will work, more will be better. Departures (overhead) 300-400+mm {{anetlink|1599371}} {{anetlink|0383758}}
Portland: 300-400mm 
104th: Same as 89th.

Don't argue your rights, just find somewhere else to shoot. They normally won't bother you. A 70-200 will work. Morning spot and some (very limited) afternoon/evening.

===Surrounding Public Roads===
There are 3 main roads that surround the OKC Airport, all provide some sort of viewing of the airport, all of which require a shoot and run technique. First, the road just north of the airport, 89th Street, mainly arrivals and departures is all you will see. You have to find a place to exit the road (there is a curb, but some parts are flattened "driveways"). And get out quickly, take your pictures, and leave. Next is Portland Ave., it runs parallel to runway 17L/35R and does not have curbs, you can pull off wherever you want to, but there are "no parking" signs. Get out, get to the fence, take your pics, and leave. For 104th Street which runs on the south side of the field is good for departures and arrivals, which will be overhead, just as 89th Street. Currently it is torn up and being rebuilt.

89th: Arrivals, 70-200mm will work, more will be better. Departures (overhead) 300-400+mm
Portland: 300-400mm
104th: Same as 89th.

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

== Spotting Locations ==

===Post Office===
This spot is located on Air Cargo Rd. on the east side of the airport. Take Air Cargo Rd. south until you see the post office on the left hand side, it is just north of the Employee Parking Lot. Pull into the Post Office and walk east down the south side of the building. There is a fence at the end which will provide good views of Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R. This spot is best in the afternoon and late evening. A 70-300 is recommended, although a 70-200 will work absolutely fine. You will have to shoot through a fence at this location.

===Long Term Parking Garage===
Drive towards the Terminal and park in the short term parking garage (1st hr free). Then walk to the long term garage (just north of the short term garage). On either side there are stairwells which provide a good place to stand without blocking parking spaces. For the east side you can see traffic on the east terminal ramp, Taxiway E, Taxiway N, and Runway 17L/35R Ops. A 100-400 will work fine for the east side. For the west, you can see West Concourse North Ops (basically CO, UA) using the gates and the taxiway just north of the concourse. Runway 17R/35L ops are pretty much useless for the limited visibility and long distance to the runway. For terminal ramp and gate ops, a 70-200 is fine. If you want to attempt 17R/35L ops, bring the big nasty out. 300-500 if heat haze doesn't kill you. East side is afternoon/evening, west side is morning with limited afternoon if the light is right.

===2nd Level Departure Road===
Park in the short term, then take the elevator down to the basement, then catch the moving walkways into the terminal, then take the escalators to the top level and exit the Terminal, on the west side of the terminal a walkway goes down the departure roadway, near the west concourse. Follow this down until you can see over the wall comfortably, the wall starts about 25 feet high, then tapers off to about 3-4 feet. Good head on shots can be taken with planes using the UA/CO gates. Other than that, you won't get much other action from this spot. Police are on duty less than 200 feet away, bring all identification and leave at once if they ask you to. Don't argue your rights, just find somewhere else to shoot. They normally won't bother you. A 70-200 will work. Morning spot and some (very limited) afternoon/evening.

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
[http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=pwzqm26w0hss&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=11155430&encType=1 Bird's Eye View of spot]
Photography:

OKC in South Flow (departing/landing 17L/17R):

You will need anywhere between 75-110MM for traffic taxiing by, you will need 180-230MM for traffic using Runway 17L/35R.

OKC in North Flow: (departing/landing 35L/35R):

Airline Departures will be airborne, and be about 200-300 AGL by the time they reach the Post Office. So, you will need to back off the fence by about 50 feet to get an angle to get good pictures of the departures without the fence in the way. 150-400 MM will be needed to get good shots of the departures.
Most arrivals will be pulling of 35R at taxiway E6, which will allow for nice head-on shots, in the late evening this effect is best because of the orange tint everything has. For a wide shot of most planes pulling off the runway, 150-200 MM will work, for close up nose shots, 300-400 MM will be necessary.

Hours:
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

Photography: 
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

Hours: 
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

=====Sample Photo=====
{{anetlink|1304182}}

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is pretty far from any runway, so gate shots and aircraft taxiing to the UA/CO gates is about all you will get. The east side is fairly close to 17L/35R, and is the recommended spot.e

=====Photography=====
======East Side======

Runway 17L/35R Operations need 250-400MM 
Taxiway E (Echo) Operations need 200-250MM 
Taxiway N (November) Operations need 130-200MM 
Terminal Ramp East Operations need 200-250MM

======West Side======
Gate shots (zoomed in) need about 100-150MM 
Planes using the taxiway north of the west concourse need anywhere from 90-200MM. 
For 17R/35L Ops, 300-500MM. 

=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)

===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
[http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=pwzqm26w0hss&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=11155430&encType=1 Bird's Eye View of spot]
=====Photography=====

OKC in South Flow (departing/landing 17L/17R):

You will need anywhere between 75-110MM for traffic taxiing by, you will need 180-230MM for traffic using Runway 17L/35R.

OKC in North Flow: (departing/landing 35L/35R):

Airline Departures will be airborne, and be about 200-300 AGL by the time they reach the Post Office. So, you will need to back off the fence by about 50 feet to get an angle to get good pictures of the departures without the fence in the way. 150-400 MM will be needed to get good shots of the departures.
Most arrivals will be pulling of 35R at taxiway E6, which will allow for nice head-on shots, in the late evening this effect is best because of the orange tint everything has. For a wide shot of most planes pulling off the runway, 150-200 MM will work, for close up nose shots, 300-400 MM will be necessary.

=====Hours=====
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

=====Sample Photo=====
{{anetlink|1304182}}

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is pretty far from any runway, so gate shots and aircraft taxiing to the UA/CO gates is about all you will get. The east side is fairly close to 17L/35R, and is the recommended spot.e

=====Photography=====
======East Side======

Runway 17L/35R Operations need 250-400MM 
Taxiway E (Echo) Operations need 200-250MM 
Taxiway N (November) Operations need 130-200MM 
Terminal Ramp East Operations need 200-250MM

======West Side======
Gate shots (zoomed in) need about 100-150MM 
Planes using the taxiway north of the west concourse need anywhere from 90-200MM. 
For 17R/35L Ops, 300-500MM. 

=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)

===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

==Official Spotting Locations==
===Founder's Plaza===

''"Over the years, Founders' Plaza has become a favorite spot for families, aviation enthusiasts and Airport employees. The Observation Area offers magnificent views of many types of aircraft as they take off and land. In addition, the plaza provides convenient parking, picnic tables, telescopes, historic information, a commemorative monument and a radio that broadcasts air traffic control communications from the FAA tower."''

The original Founder's Plaza adjacent to runway 35C has been closed. As of September of 2008, a new Founder's Plaza has been erected, which sits on the northwest side of the airport. Lots of good action can be seen here, of course, more AA/Eagle than you'd ever think is possible, but also this is where most of the international cargo and airline heavies arrive. Best in the afternoon/late evening.

Directions:

Exit at Highway 114 on to Texan Trail and head south towards the
Airport. Founders’ Plaza is at Texan Trail and N. Airfield Drive.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===American Eagle Hangar Parking Lot===

It's a view of 18 R and L, closer to 18R which is the arrivals runway. You are west of the runway so afternoon light is best.

On the west side of the airport, taking Airfield Drive, you can turn onto the road that is opposite the Verizon area, where you turn onto a road that leads to the American and American Eagle hangar and an ATC control tower. If you follow the road all the way, veering left at the turn, you get into a parking lot in the American Eagle Hangar. There's no security check going here. I've heard that police are kind of rough, however, so stay in your car off and on. There's a big fence that is too tall to get over, so you have to shoot between the metal in the fence.

===Skylink Train===

The Skylink train, which is inside security, makes a full loop 50' above the ramp. This train has great views, and if you have about 15 minutes, it's well worth the ride to see all the terminals at DFW.

===The Club at DFW===

If you like the view from the train, you can get off at Terminal D and go to "The Club at DFW." This is a lounge run by Priority Pass, but they have a "pay per visit" fee and there's a coupon in "DFW People" magazine for like $25 per access. This magazine is located throughout the airport and in the parking ares too. The club has a view of gates D20-D30, including lots of AA heavies, and it facing runways 18R and 18L with a view of the cargo area and AA hangar areas too. It's a great view if you have money to burn! They have snacks and drinks for the thirsty spotter.

===Airport Westin===

Outside the airport is the Airport Westin on Highway 114. It is on short final to runway 17L and has a swimming pool area on top of the hotel. It has a great view. The area you are looking at from there incidentally is the area that the Delta L1011 crashed.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Location===

==Regular Traffic==

DFW is served by all American Airlines aircraft types except the A300 and all American Eagle types except the ATR 72. International heavies are British Airways 777-200 GE90 (1 daily), Lufthansa A340(1 daily), Korean 777 (3 x week), North American 767s for troop transports. Aeromexico 737-700s for charters. Lots of cargo, including a UPS hub that has 727s all the way up to 747s, including lots of equipment types. Lots of Asian cargo including Cathay Pacific, China Eastern, Air China, China Airlines, EVA, and Korean Air Cargo. Also you can see Air France 747s, Southern Air 747s, Kitty Hawk.

Other airlines served:
*United narrowbodies up to 757
*United Express Embraer 170s
*Northwest DC9 and A320s
*Pinnacle CRJs
*USAirways 737s and A320s
*USAirways Express on Mesa CRJ900
*Mesa Beech 1900Ds
*Midwest 717s
*Continental 737s
*Continental Express ERJs
*Delta 737-300 through 767-300
*Delta Connection all types up through Shuttle America EMB170s

==Facilities and Transportation==
To get to any spotting locations you'll have to drive. Cabs are available but the minimum charge for a cab is $12. I've rented a car for as cheap as $16, so it's worth it to get a deal on a rental.

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
[http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=pwzqm26w0hss&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=11155430&encType=1 Bird's Eye View of spot]
=====Photography=====

OKC in South Flow (departing/landing 17L/17R):

You will need anywhere between 75-110MM for traffic taxiing by, you will need 180-230MM for traffic using Runway 17L/35R.

OKC in North Flow: (departing/landing 35L/35R):

Airline Departures will be airborne, and be about 200-300 AGL by the time they reach the Post Office. So, you will need to back off the fence by about 50 feet to get an angle to get good pictures of the departures without the fence in the way. 150-400 MM will be needed to get good shots of the departures.
Most arrivals will be pulling of 35R at taxiway E6, which will allow for nice head-on shots, in the late evening this effect is best because of the orange tint everything has. For a wide shot of most planes pulling off the runway, 150-200 MM will work, for close up nose shots, 300-400 MM will be necessary.

=====Hours=====
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

=====Sample Photo=====
{{anetlink|1304182}}

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is mainly for gate shots and planes taxiing to the UA/CO gates unless you have a super long telephoto lens, the east side is closest to 17L/35R.

=====Photography=====
======East Side======

Runway 17L/35R Operations need 250-400MM 
Taxiway E (Echo) Operations need 200-250MM 
Taxiway N (November) Operations need 130-200MM 
Terminal Ramp East needs 130-150MM

======West Side======
100-500+. Also the bigger the better here, gate shots can be had with 120-300mm.

=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)
===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
[http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=pwzqm26w0hss&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=11155430&encType=1 Bird's Eye View of spot]
=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere 50-200MM lens for traffic taxiing by, you will need 250-400MM for traffic using the runway. So the range is around 50-400MM needed here.

=====Hours=====
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

=====Sample Photo=====
{{anetlink|1304182}}

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is mainly for gate shots and planes taxiing to the UA/CO gates unless you have a super long telephoto lens, the east side is closest to 17L/35R.

=====Photography=====
======East Side======

Runway 17L/35R Operations need 250-400MM 
Taxiway E (Echo) Operations need 200-250MM 
Taxiway N (November) Operations need 130-200MM 
Terminal Ramp East needs 130-150MM

======West Side======
100-500+. Also the bigger the better here, gate shots can be had with 120-300mm.

=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)
===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go.

1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible.

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to.

3. Have fun. If you encounter police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere 50-200MM lens for traffic taxiing by, you will need 250-400MM for traffic using the runway. So the range is around 50-400MM needed here.

=====Hours=====
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

=====Sample Photo=====
{{anetlink|1304182}}

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is mainly for gate shots and planes taxiing to the UA/CO gates unless you have a super long telephoto lens, the east side is closest to 17L/35R.

=====Photography=====
======East Side======

Runway 17L/35R Operations need 250-400MM 
Taxiway E (Echo) Operations need 200-250MM 
Taxiway N (November) Operations need 130-200MM 
Terminal Ramp East needs 130-150MM

======West Side======
200-500+. Also the bigger the better here, gate shots can be had with 200-300mm.
=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)
===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Tips==
Do some homework before you go. 
1. Check the weather, and find out which runways are the actives. Generally if the wind is from the North, Arrivals will be on 35R and departures will be scattered between 35L/35R. If winds are from the south, any arrivals from the North, South, or East will land on 17L, and departures again will be scattered between 17L/17R. Most planes inbound from the west will take 17L. That's not always the case, so be flexible. 

2. Go to [http://www.flightaware.com/airport/KOKC Flightaware.com] and print or write down the next 10-15 arrivals and departures by flight number, destination/or departure point, and ETA or the scheduled departure time. Now when spotting you have a general idea of where you need to be at each designated time. It is very easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the airport when something happens on the other side. If you are catching arrivals, listen to the approach frequency to get a heads up on where you need to be. If you are catching departures, listen to Ground to here what runway the planes are going to taxi to. 
3. Have fun. If you are incountered with police officers or anyone else questioning what you are doing, please, don't give them a hard time. Be polite, courteous, and willing to show ID if asked to. I have not heard or had an encounter with anyone except for when I was spotting in the middle of the dark, which was suspicous.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot

==Spotting Locations==

===Post Office===
The south side of the U.S. Post office on Air cargo Rd.

Take Air Cargo Rd. South until you see the U.S. Post Office, Pull into the parking lot and walk down the south side of the building to the fence. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''
=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere 50-200MM lens for traffic taxiing by, you will need 250-400MM for traffic using the runway. So the range is around 50-400MM needed here.

=====Hours=====
This is a P.M. spot. The best times are from 1PM to sundown.

===Portland Rd===
On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. This road is on a slope, this spot is located at the top of the slope. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. If the street is not very busy, you can hang around for a few minutes, but if the street starts getting busy, start heading out.'''

'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
For planes using taxiway "Hotel" (very rare) you need 200MM. For planes using the runway you will need 300-400MM. So a 100-400 is recommended at this spot.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. Spot, use this spot from sunrise to 11AM.

===The Hangars===
On S. Meridian there are a row of 6 hangars with some open space in between in which planes park between, getting you close to them. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. I have brought a 75-300 here and got some decent results, but be prepared to crop in for business jets/ RJs. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is mainly for gate shots and planes taxiing to the UA/CO gates unless you have a super long telephoto lens, the east side is closest to 17L/35R.

=====Photography=====
======East Side======
300-400+. The bigger the better here, anything under 250mm wont get good results here.
======West Side======
200-500+. Also the bigger the better here, gate shots can be had with 200-300mm.
=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)
===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset

Anywhere from 18-105 mm is required here.

=====Hours=====
This is an A.M. spot. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===17R threshold===
This spot is on S. Meridian, north of "The Hangars" as stated above. Landing and departing traffic can be seen from here. '''Note: You have to shoot through a fence at this location.'''

=====Photography=====
200-500mm works here. I have brought a 75-300 here and got some decent results, but be prepared to crop in for business jets/ RJs. RWY31 deps need 400-500 mm, but the 35L departures need 200-400 mm. 17R arrivals need 200-350.

=====Hours=====
This spot is an A.M. only. Sunrise to 11AM will work.

===Parking Garage===
The 5th level on the long term parking garage.
Park in the short term parking garage just south of the long term garage.(1st hour free) Walk across to the parking garage and take the elevator to the 5th level and walk to either side, west or east. There are stair wells on each side where you can stand to shoot. The west side is mainly for gate shots and planes taxiing to the UA/CO gates unless you have a super long telephoto lens, the east side is closest to 17L/35R.

=====Photography=====
======East Side======
300-400+. The bigger the better here, anything under 250mm wont get good results here.
======West Side======
200-500+. Also the bigger the better here, gate shots can be had with 200-300mm.
=====Hours=====
All day. (West side = sunrise-Noon)(East side = Noon-sunset)
===Terminal Ramp===
This spot is basically the closest to airside as you can get. This spot is located just south of 'The Hangars' on S. Meridian. You will see UA, CO, F9, and some AA action here.'''Note: You are under camera surveillance at this location.'''
'''Note 2: You have to shoot through a fence at this spot.'''
=====Photography=====
Anywhere from 50-200 mm is normal.
=====Hours=====
Mainly PM. 1PM-sunset
===SW. 104th Street===
This street is located on the South Side of the Perimeter Fence.

You can get here via Portland Ave. which runs North/South on the east Side of the Perimeter Fence. Or by just following I-44 to the SW 104th street exit, or Exit 112. Turn west on SW 104 until you pass Portland Ave.'''Note: A Shoot And Run Technique is required, as there are plenty of "No Parking" Signs present, just pull to the side of the road when you hear over the radio or see a plane on approach.'''

=====Photography=====
You will need anywhere from 100-300MM for traffic landing on 35R or 35L. I have never been here when planes are departing overhead so departure focal lengths are unknown, but I'd guesstimate 250-500MM.

=====Hours=====
This is an all day spot
