At the west end of airport is a York Rd/ Elmhurst Rd and along that street is a lot of places where can we take a shots. First af all is a Thorthons gas station area and there is a good place to take a shot of aircraft deparured from rwy 32L aproaching rwy 14R mainly afternoon, but in next two years this rwy will be closed . | |||

Arrival 14R Airlines.net photo sample [http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1297954/L/ large photo] | |||
At this time due to airport construction now good spotting places at rwy 32R/14L. | |||
The best way to take a good shot is the car. Without a car you can get one maybe two places but you'll never know the wind direction even if you check METAR. | |||
