Official Spotting Locations
Location
Other Spotting Locations
On top of the parking garage is a great place to spot. You can get both parallel runways from on top of the garage.
There are several business parking lots along West Washington street that offer a great view of traffic landing on 23R. This is a great way to view or photograph Cargolux 747's when they visit IND once or twice a week since 5L/23R is always their preferred runway.
Airside spotting is also decent
