==Official Spotting Locations==

There is not an official spotting location at the Des Moines International Airport

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Parking Garage===

The parking Garage at DSM gives you a view of most of the airport. You can walk from the North side to the South side, depending on where the traffic is approaching and departing. Fares are $1 USD/hour. Security usually leaves you alone, as long as you keep a low profile. I've never been approached by security here. At most times, you would be the only spotter at this place. You can take good photos of aircraft landing on both runways 23 and 31. Park on the lowest level, and take the elevator, which is near the terminal drop-off area.

==Locations to Avoid==

===Fence===

Avoid stading next to the fence, which draws suspicion to security. Don't take photos of military aircraft, unless you have permission. The Iowa National Gaurd has been known to ask you to leave, and also have been known to take your camera.

===SW 42nd St===
The end of SW 42nd Street, north of Army Post Road, is a great spot to catch landings on runway 5. However, don't stay here long. There is usually a patrol car trying to catch speeders. Here's a Google Maps image of this spot. (Sorry for the long link)
