You will need a 200MM lens for traffic taxiing by, you will need 300MM for traffic using the runway. A 75-300 or 100-400 will work just fine. | |||
When photographing at this spot I have been asked what I was doing by airport personnel (rampers and post office employees). Don't be afraid of this spot, wear bright colored clothing to make your self look less suspisous. | |||

On Portland Rd. parallel the fence and runway 35R/17L. '''Note: This spot requires a "shoot and run" technique. Park your car on the side of the road, put your hazard lights on, and wait till you see an airplane on approach or getting ready to take off, get out, take your pics, then leave. ''' | |||
