This is a morning/midday spot for Runway 7 arrivals.  Lighting is good through mid-afternoon.  Unfortunately, with the newly extended Runway 7R, most all arriving aircraft turn off before they reach this spot, making heat haze a big problem for photography when trying to shoot across the runway as they turn on to the highspeed taxiway.

Park your car at the end of S. Airpark Pl.  Walk up the hill to the dirt path.  You might want to stay near the top of the hill so that the fence won’t obstruct your view.
