	===South Dirt Lot===		===South Dirt Lot (Mark Haskell Memorial Viewing Area)===
	The Jetport has set up an official spotting area to the South of the airport perimeter, a dirt lot just off of Westbrook Street and Aviation Blvd. The lot is recognized by the airport and the local police department, and is frequently populated by plane watchers from all demographics. The designated spotting location can be identified by a large "spotting guide" sign which illustrates the basic aircraft types which frequent Portland. The official spotting area is not ideal for photography, as a large fence and a significant distance separate it from the runway. With a decent telephoto lens and a ladder or automobile to stand on photography is possible, as the sunlight almost always favors the Southern location. Apart from the fence, the view of the entire airport is more or less ~~un-obstructed~~, so it is a good place to park and simply watch aircraft. Example photos from the official spotting location (taken standing atop a vehicle with a 55-250mm lens) can be found below.		The Jetport has set up an official spotting area to the South of the airport perimeter, a dirt lot just off of Westbrook Street and Aviation Blvd. The lot has recently been named, in memory of a PWM air traffic controller who was killed when his YAK-52 crashed at the Jetport in 2010.

	A roundabout where Jetport Plaza Road and Westbrook Street meet is a frequent stopping place for aircraft watchers. Like the approved spotting area, a fence separates watchers from the action, but a source of elevation (a car roof for example) can place you right in the middle of the action for photos. The roundabout is heavily posted with "No Parking" signs, and local law enforcement frequently asks visitors to move up the hill to the approved spotting location. If you park elsewhere and walk to the fence line, law enforcement should not hassle you.

	~~<!-- Introductory paragraph goes here -->~~		The '''Portland International Jetport''' is a regional airport located on the border between Portland and South Portland, Maine. The Jetport is a largely seasonal airport seeing heavy service from mainline jets in the summer, but light traffic from mostly Regional Jets in the winter. Spotting opportunities at the airport are limited, but there are a number of sites around the airport perimeter which offer views of aircraft movement.

			The Jetport is served frequently by the Portland Metro bus system and private taxis, and is easily accessed by automobile from I-95. A car is necessary for most all spotting around the airport, although sidewalks are present throughout Portland and South Portland. The main terminal features multiple restaurants both airside and landside, as well as public restrooms and an information booth.
