This one is a bit tricky, which is why its also listed as a "place to avoid below". General wisdom is that this is hands-down the best spotting location anywhere at BOS. If you do go spotting on the garage, you have great views of pretty much all ops on the 4's/22's (especially 22R takeoffs, which are particularly spectacular in the afternoon), and pretty decent views , given a 300mm lens on a 1.6x DSLR, of ops on 15R/33L, and 9/27. Like Constitution Beach, this location is better in the afternoon, or at night (see examples below). One thing you can do to avoid the police is actually to spot on Level 4 of the garage, rather than Level 5. While there is a building in your way for a portion of the view of the airfield, it is generally a pretty good location, and I've never seen a MassPort truck there when I've been spotting. It seems as though they concentrate on patrolling the top level. | This one is a bit tricky, which is why its also listed as a "place to avoid below".

This spot is best for 27 arrivals/9 departures and is located in Winthrop MA. It is a fairly decent spot all around during the day since it is pretty close east/west - so the sun is almost always behind and in front rather than to the side. For arrivals a 28-135ish will do just fine for full frame shots, and up to 200 is good for close-ups. For departures a 100-300 is best for full frame shots. | This spot is best for 27 arrivals/9 departures and is located in Winthrop MA.

Heavies are not uncommon here as I have spotted A340's, 747's, DC-10's, and A330's along with the normal "domestic" traffic. | ||
