'''Triangle Plaza''' | |||
This place is off of S. Willow street and is a perfect area to see Runway 24/6 landings and takeoffs. The best part about this area is that you are at the end of Runway 24, where if the airplanes are using, is the perfect place to take photos of waiting aircraft. It's also the best because you can see the plane come in high and close. Unlike 35/17, Runway 6/24 is sometimes used if winds are going in the directions that the runway is facing. Bigger planes like 767, and 737-800, can land on this runway, but mostly use 35/17. If you want some close action, The Traingle plaza is the place to go. It's also a good place for some night spotting. | |||
'''Harvey Road''' | |||
Harvey road has One spotting location, and it is across from Runway 35. There will be a side road, called Planeview Dr., where you can park and see some action on 35. Although this location is a little far from the runway, you will still get some good views on planes taking off, Holding short, or landing. | |||
'''Delta Dr.''' | |||
Harvey Road will continue until it reches an intersection where Harvey road takes a left. If you continue, you will be on Pettengill Rd. If you turn left, continuing onto Harvey Rd. The moment you see another road to your left, and a small road that goes in a small circle, that is Delta Dr. Delta Dr has a small round road that have a perfect shot down Runway 35. This is where you can view planes taking off and holding short of the runway. This is also the place where you can have some overhead landing shots. You will also have overhead takeoffs if the airplanes are using 17. | |||
'''Ammon Dr''' | |||
Ammon Dr provides a great area for Taxiway Mike and Mike 1 [M, M1] and as well as Runway 6. This is where you can also view Gates 1 and 2 where United operates out of. The spot is on long term Parkinglot C. If you want to planespot here, you must enter Lot C. Luckily, You only have to pay for daily and weekly prices. It's unknown about Hourly parking. | |||
'''Airport Rd''' | |||
Airport Rd has a small parking space near the fence, though it's Highly recommend not to spot here, as there are police patrolling, this spot has an amazing view of Gates 1 and 2. Unless both gates are empty, you will see either a United ERJ145, E170, or Dash 8 Q200/300. You will also get some views of Taxiway Mike. If the airplanes are directed to taxi to Runway six, this is the best place to see the aircraft taxiing to the runway very close. It's not recommend to spot here, so do so at your own risk. | |||
'''Baggage Claim area A''' | |||
The Baggage claim in the far north of the terminal gives spotters the view of Gate 4, 5, and 6, and as well as gate 1. This is the closest you can get. The closest is to Gates 4, 5, and 6, while Gate 4 is not used, you'll be able to see Delta jets parked at their gates. You'll be able to see a Delta MD88 parked if you arrive at the same time. You will also get to see a United jet or prop if you arrive at the right time, and a glimps of Runway 6 and taxiway Mike.
