-Large parking lot, with benches and picnic tables.  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 eventually as airport adds a third parallel runway to the west, it is still open as of June 2008.

-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.
