Official Spotting Locations
Harbor & Laurel Parking Lot
The airport has a small free parking lot at the corner of Harbor Dr. and Laurel St. for spotting. From here you will see aircraft arriving and departing on runway 27, which is the airport's normal operation. You will need a ladder or tall vehicle to get camera lenses above the fence line for departure and taxi shots, however you can photograph arrivals from street level with a long enough lens if you time it right to avoid poles and trees. Posted signs prohibit unattended vehicles, so you won't want to go far from the lot unless someone is with you to stay with your car. Avoid the Solar Turbines parking lot adjacent to this, but the sidewalk along Laurel St. should be okay.
