Though not an official location, Simms Road, just west of the Control tower contains a small vehicle pull-off that provides excellent views of Rwy 12L/R operations and Runway 30R/L departures. On good weather days, two or three vehicles will park there. The road is frequented by law enforcement, and though there have been no known reports of spotters being hassled, always carry ID. The area is also adjacent to the Vehicle Service Road on the other side of the fence, frequented by Airport Operations personnel. | Though not an official location, Simms Road, just west of the Control tower contains a small vehicle pull-off that provides excellent views of Rwy 12L/R operations and Runway 30R/L departures.
