The field shares runways with Hickam Air Force Base, though the two maintain separate IATA and ICAO identifiers. | ||

A parking lot at the end of Lagoon Dr. provides a good view of operations on 8R/26L, 4R/22L, and 4L/22R. A fence can obstruct ground-level shots, however for departures on 8R, most aircraft will be high enough that the fence will not be in your shot. When the terror alert level rises to Orange or above, police inspection checkpoints are put up on Lagoon Dr. just past Aolele St., so this spot becomes | A parking lot at the end of Lagoon Dr. provides a good view of operations on 8R/26L, 4R/22L, and 4L/22R.

When the terror alert level rises to Orange or above, police inspection checkpoints are put up on Lagoon Dr. just past Aolele St., so this spot becomes inaccessible. | ||
To reach this spot, turn makai (towards the sea) from Nimitz Hwy. or Aolele St. onto Lagoon Dr. and follow it until it ends. This location is also accessable by bus: Take route 31 "Kalihi Lagoon Dr" and get off at Lagoon Dr. and Palekona St., then continue walking down Lagoon Dr. to the parking lot. | To reach this spot, turn makai (towards the sea) from Nimitz Hwy. or Aolele St. onto Lagoon Dr. and follow it until it ends.

A parking lot at the entrance to the park, next to the tennis courts, provides a good place to watch operations, particularly 8L, 22L, and 22R departures, and 26L, 4L, and 4R arrivals. It is however too distant for photography. | ||
You can also continue down the road through the park to the end, and then walk to the beach. There you can see aircraft departing on 8L and 8R, and arriving on 26L and 26R. Departures will generally be too high, but arrivals, especially for 26R, can be low enough to photograph if you have a long enough lens. | You can also continue down the road through the park to the end, and then walk to the beach.
