Other Spotting Locations

Museum of Flight Parking Lot

This is a great place to spot airplanes arriving on runway 31L.

East Marginal Way and South 86th Street

This is another parking lot that offers a great view of the runway 31L/13R. If you take pictures, bring a step ladder or a truck that you can stand on to see over the fence.

Regular Traffic

Only two passenger airlines serve Boeing Field: Kenmore Air and Helijet. Cargo Airlines such as DHL, UPS, Airborne Express, Global, ATI, and Ameriflight operate daily cargo flights to the airfield. Military planes such as E-3's, C-17's, P-3's, and F/A-18's are commonly seen making fuel stops or getting upgraded electronics. The Boeing Company's new 737NG's are painted, tested, and delivered from this field, and multiple NG's are seen throughout the day.
