First off, this info is current as of 11/10/09. Eppley is a quaint medium hub airport. It has three runways: 14L/32R, 14R/32L, and 18/36. 18/36 is only used on rare instances where there is a strong northeast or southwest wind. Most airliners can be seen landing on 14R/32L and bizjets/GA can be seen generally using 14L/32R since its closest to the FBOs. | First off, this info is current as of 11/10/09.

Parking Garage - I would recommend going up on the 5th floor. This spot is only good in the afternoon time for photos, when the sun is in the west. You could go up on the 6th floor but the tower would have a very clear view of you and your time up there might be cut short. The cops might try to move you along if you're caught. I've spoken to many people from the airport authority and they have no problem with people taking pictures up there but for some reason the cops think they do. Here are some views from the garage: | Parking Garage - I would recommend going up on the 5th floor. This spot is only good in the afternoon time for photos, when the sun is in the west.
