Official Spotting Locations

Lee Road

Lee Rd south of Will Clayton Pkwy at the end of runway 27. You get some nice approach shots, although 26L and 26R is frequently used as well.

Other Spotting Locations

Parking Garages

You can see some good action from the top of the parking garages.

Terminal A/B - Great for spotting domestic carriers excluding Continental, also great for takeoffs from any runway except 9/27

Terminal C - See a ton of Continental aircraft here

Terminal D/E - This is a fun terminal between 3:20 and 5:00 (PM) to see arriving heavies, and cargo, as well as departing heavies (Continental 772, Air France 773, British Airways 772, KLM 744...)
