 Airside spotting is also decent
-A good area to view 23L arrivals as well as 5R departures is the old terminal exit road across from the Crowne Plaza hotel. If you go up on the grass hill, you can get some good shots of the FedEx MD-11's, 767's, and A300's (and on busier days, CRJ/ERJ's and 737's). 23L arrivals yield better shots as the aircraft are usually lower on approach than they are departing on 5R. If airport police drive by, do not worry. They will give you a passing glance and keep driving.
 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.
