Bradley International Airport: Difference between revisions

To catch some nice departure shots from runway 6 in the morning. Go to the Subaru dealership on route 75. It is before the Kelly Trailers Lot on the same road. The best time to go here is in the morning, as in the afternoon it becomes backlit. Also it is probably best to go on a clear summer or spring morning. In the summer/spring the sun comes up early, so you can get the first major departures of the day at about 6 a.m. then a lot of stuff goes for the next two hours or so. In the winter sunrise doesn't happen till after 7 or so. However, I'm not sure if the people who run the dealership like people spotting there, so I leave when the place opens, but that time in the morning however, most of the activity is over for a while. If there is something you really wanna get, move over to the lot next door, and just wait around until it departs. One note of caution however about photography here: There are a bunch of trees and power lines, so you might have to dodge those periodically.
