Chicago O'Hare International Airport: Difference between revisions

Main spotting location is located near USG Corp. parking area at Scott St. close to Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave intersection. There is nice view of south side part of airport and full view of 28, 27L ,27R and 22L glidepath. Also thru fences, taxiways Delta, Mike and Quebec are visible when aircraft are taxiing to Rwy. 22L for departure. To take a photo at 28, 80mm and up lenses are OK. Close to service gate at the end of Scott Ave even 17-20mm lenses are OK when A340 or B747 is approaching. Good spotting place all day when wind is from the west, southwest or northwest. Parking lot is in Schiller Park, but Scott Street is in Chicago as is Mannheim Rd in the airport area. DO NOT continue far north on Scott Street past the red warning signs, or the police will come and might confiscate your photo equipment or you could even be arrested for trespassing on airport property.
