==Official Spotting Locations==

===Hog Island Road===

====Runway 26====
After going through the underpass, continue for 100 yards, stop, U-turn to the opposite side of the road, good location for Rwy. 26 approaches, small aircraft & RJ's.

====Hog Island Rd====
Runs right next to the airport and there are numerous spots along the road. The main use of Hog Island Rd is just after the first curve out of the tunnel straighens out. Excellant location for shooting arriving flights on final for runway 27-R.

====Side On====
You can go farther up park and right when the road starts to climb a light grade to shoot side on shots of aircraft over the threshold through the fence. Airport police tend to restrict shooting through the fence, however, enforcement is applied on an individual basis.

===Gravel Lot===

Further down Hog Island Road, next to the UPS facility, there is a small gravel parking lot which is near 27L. Good views of the 27L departures can be had. When you see fire training equipment that is the Gravel Lot right there.

==Locations to Avoid==

Not any places to really avoid on the Philadelphia County side of the airport. Just dont park along the fence side at all. Tinicum Twp PD may have a problem with you parking down by 9R. So keep the time your there for a shot minimal and move on. Granted you sometimes can go a whole day without having problems. But if they do say move then don't give them any problems as there are some No Parking signs along this portion of the road. You can then move back to the Gravel Lot.
