On the off-chance that the crosswind runway is being used, your options are limited. For departures on runway 32, I like to park behind the building of the now-defunct ATA Airlines off of Washington Street. From there, the aircraft taking off on runway 32 and arriving on 14 will fly right over you and you can get some good shots. There is a downside though. The aircraft fly over with little warning, so be watching through the trees. For aircraft departing on runway 14, you're pretty much out of luck. You could take you chances and park on Perimeter Road, but there is no shoulder to pull off on and there is a chance you can driven away by airport police. | On the off-chance that the crosswind runway is being used, your options are limited.

To view departures on 23L, you can park in the cell phone lot. I suggest the cell phone lot overflow section, though, because you're closer to the aircraft. This is a good location to watch FedEx aircraft. | To view departures on 23L, you can park in the cell phone lot.
