Official Spotting Locations

===Location=== Acacia Street Loop Road This is the Official viewing area at Brisbane Airport and it is just excellent for both photos and viewing. The advantage about the Loop Road is that whether the planes are using RWY01 or RWY19, you can still use the Loop Road which ever way it is. If RWY19 is in use, you can photograph the planes in the air just as they are about to touch down and/or when they are actually touching down and have just landed. For a 19 departure, the planes taxi past you and turn off the taxi way and onto the runway and make their take off roll right past you and rotate quite a fair way in the distance. RWY 01 landings are not so good from the Loop Road as they touch down a long way from you and taxi off the runway and onto the taxiways at a reasonable distance. RWY01 Departures are just brilliant. They commence their take off rolls down the far end of the runway and take off and fly past you. Excellent for photos and viewing. The Loop Road is closed from 18:00 - 06:00 the next morning. A step ladder is highly reccommended. The Loop Road is brilliant to visit any time of the day but as you are facing the east, the morning sun is right in your face and can cause backlit photos.
