==Other Spotting Locations== | ==Other Spotting Locations== | ||
There is a very good spotting location located next to Runway 7/25. It is located right next to the control tower. Just turn onto South 66th Street from Zero St and drive about a quarter mile. This offers a spectacular view of aircraft taking off and landing on runway 7/25. At least a 200mm lens is required for photography here. Any time of day is fine, since the sun is always behind this location. Make sure to bring a ladder, or stand on top of your car due to the fence. | There is a very good spotting location located next to Runway 7/25. It is located right next to the control tower.

Opposite of runway 7/25, there is another spotting location. However, this location is terrible for photography due to the bad light. | |||
