The airport began operations in 1999, after it was converted from the old Bergstrom AFB, ending an infamous era in Austin aviation. There has been jokes that the approach at the old airport, Robert Mueller, was so close over Interstate 35 that pilots had to quickly retract the landing gear prior to touchdown. The old facilities also left much to be desired as they were small and inadequate for a growing city. Currently, ABIA is also almost growing to be too small for its needs, but citizens have often protested that such a new airport should not have to encounter such problems yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Family Viewing Area===&lt;br /&gt;
The official spotting location is the Family Viewing Area, located near the State Aircraft Pooling Board (fancy talk for where aircraft belonging to the State of Texas gets maintained and stored.) To get to the viewing area from I-35, exit Ben White/290/71 East and follow it past the airport, turn right at Golf Course Rd. (first road after Presidential Blvd) and follow it until the end. From 183, take the 71 East exit, turn right at Golf Course Rd. and follow it until the end.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The viewing area faces west to runway 18L/35R, so it is only good for photography during the morning hours. Probably only about 30% of all commercial traffic uses this runway, for landings it&#039;s even less. Most traffic on this runway is GA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Live Oak Brewing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Live Oak Brewing offers views of aircraft approaching from the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations to Avoid==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a nice place right on the 18R approach path at a cemetery at the end of Riverside Dr.  Anyone there who is not visiting one of the deceased will be asked to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a large pile of dirt located next to the GA hangars. Although it will give you a great vantage point for landings on 35R and aircraft taxiing back to the terminal after landing on 18L, it will get you in trouble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you go exploring around that area, you will also find a large open area near the National Guard hangar that will put you within touching distance of aircraft taxiing to 35L. It goes without saying that spotters aren&#039;t welcome back there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a point at Burleson Rd. where it makes an S turn and there is a guard-rail. Behind the guard-rail may seem like a great place to spot (and it is as it is directly under the final approach for 35R,) but due to the heavy flow of car traffic, most likely some driver-by will call Austin Police and they will be even more troublesome than if Airport Police stopped by.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Airborne Express also fly in an A300 and a DC-8 on Sundays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UPS sometimes flies 757s. There are also some rare cargo visits by 747s and 727s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The week before and during the F1 race there is lots of traffic - 747s arrive one to two weeks prior with cargo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Austin has received diversions of [[IAH]]- and [[DFW]]-bound jets in the past, mostly due to weather. This happens more during the summer months than winter.&lt;br /&gt;

The viewing area faces west to runway 18L/35R, so it is only good for photography during the morning hours. Probably only about 30% of all commercial traffic uses this runway, for landings it&#039;s even less. Most traffic on this runway is GA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Live Oak Brewing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Live Oak Brewing offers views of aircraft approaching from the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations to Avoid==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a nice place right on the 18R approach path at a cemetery at the end of Riverside Dr.  Anyone there who is not visiting one of the deceased will be asked to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a large pile of dirt located next to the GA hangars. Although it will give you a great vantage point for landings on 35R and aircraft taxiing back to the terminal after landing on 18L, it will get you in trouble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you go exploring around that area, you will also find a large open area near the National Guard hangar that will put you within touching distance of aircraft taxiing to 35L. It goes without saying that spotters aren&#039;t welcome back there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a point at Burleson Rd. where it makes an S turn and there is a guard-rail. Behind the guard-rail may seem like a great place to spot (and it is as it is directly under the final approach for 35R,) but due to the heavy flow of car traffic, most likely some driver-by will call Austin Police and they will be even more troublesome than if Airport Police stopped by.&lt;br /&gt;

The airport began operations in 1999, after it was converted from the old Bergstrom AFB, ending an infamous era in Austin aviation. There has been jokes that the approach at the old airport, Robert Mueller, was so close over Interstate 35 that pilots had to quickly retract the landing gear prior to touchdown. The old facilities also left much to be desired as they were small and inadequate for a growing city. Currently, ABIA is also almost growing to be too small for its needs, but citizens have often protested that such a new airport should not have to encounter such problems yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Family Viewing Area===&lt;br /&gt;
The official spotting location is the Family Viewing Area, located near the State Aircraft Pooling Board (fancy talk for where aircraft belonging to the State of Texas gets maintained and stored.) To get to the viewing area from I-35, exit Ben White/290/71 East and follow it past the airport, turn right at Golf Course Rd. (first road after Presidential Blvd) and follow it until the end. From 183, take the 71 East exit, turn right at Golf Course Rd. and follow it until the end.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The viewing area faces west to runway 18L/35R, so it is only good for photography during the morning hours. Probably only about 30% of all commercial traffic uses this runway, for landings it&#039;s even less. Most traffic on this runway is GA.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Introductory paragraph goes here --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There no official spotting locations. All non-official spotting locations are checked by airport security, Aviation Police or Police patrols.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===USG Parking Area===&lt;br /&gt;
The main spotting location is located at the USG Corporation on Scott St. which is close to the intersection of Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave. You can park in their parking lot if it is the weekend but when the building is open you should park on the street. From here there is nice view of the south part of the airport and a full view of runways 28, 27L ,27R and 22L glidepaths. Also thru fences, taxiways Delta, Mike and Quebec are visible when aircraft are taxiing to Rwy. 22L for departure. To take photos of runway 28 operations, 80mm and larger lenses will work OK. This is a good spotting place all day when wind is coming from the west, southwest or northwest. The parking lot is in Schiller Park, but Scott Street is in Chicago as is Mannheim Rd which are both considered in the airport area. DO NOT continue far north on Scott Street past the red warning signs, or the aviation police will come and could confiscate your photo equipment or you could even be arrested for trespassing on airport property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1308441}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also you can take some shots from Hwy I-294 heading southbound directly under glidepath to Rwy 28 at your own risk (as we know 2 hrs standing limit)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|5977943}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Balmoral Avenue===&lt;br /&gt;
When driving on north on Mannheim Rd take the exit to Balmoral Ave east. Pass the first stop sign and bridge over railroad, turn right twice and park at the Rosemont Metra Station parking lot. You may need to buy a ticket at pay station (sometimes Metra people or Rosemont police can check tickets, except on weekends, when the train is not operating) and go on the bridge. There is a nice view from the bridge, however you will need a camera that has a min. of a 300mm lens to get any decent photos. This is a great place to take pictures of taxiing aircraft to/from Rwy 22L or aircraft approaching Rwy 28 (summertime early morning).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6015512}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6011991}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cell Phone Lot===&lt;br /&gt;
Off of Mannheim Road south of Higgins/Touhy is the Airport&#039;s &amp;quot;Cell Phone Lot. You may park in this lot for free as long as you do not leave your vehicle unattended. There is an electronic arrivals board as well as an outhouse for emergency relief. Gives a nice view of approaches to 27R and 27L or departures from 9L and 9R.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Allstate Arena===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next good location is Allstate Arena area located at Mannheim Rd(US-12/US-45) between Higgins Rd (IL-72) and Touhy Ave. Full view of Rwy 22R all day (different places depend on where the sun is). From 9-10 am in the morning till 2-3pm a good place is the small parking lot opposite car wash just across Mannheim Rd. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the summer, Sundays on the south side of Allstate Arena building is a flea market. You can walk between sellers, look for some good views and take shots. In wintertime, access to the parking is closed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|5960142}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In afternoons, a good place is a huge parking lot between Target store and Touhy Ave (closer to Touhy).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1272564}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late afternoons a good place is the back of the Allstate Arena parking lot close to Hwy I-90&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1267685}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6091311}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in this area you can find a spot to see arrivals at new Rwy 27R.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beeline Road===&lt;br /&gt;
Runway 10 operations can easily be seen from Beeline road in Bensonville. You can park on the side of the road and watch with no problems. This location is likely the closest you can get to landing planes as they come only a few hundred feet directly above the road. General photography isn&#039;t the best here though as you can only get direct head on shots of planes. As already said aircraft pass directly over the road so would only be able to see the bottom of the aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===14R/32L Spotting===&lt;br /&gt;
On the west side of the airport is York Rd/Elmhurst Rd which has several  places where one can take photos. First is the Thorntons gas station area which is a good place to take shots of aircraft climbing out from Rwy 32L and approaching Rwy 14R, mainly in the afternoon. Likely in the next year this runway will be demolished.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1269282}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1271223}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Early mornings at sunrise you can stop at a small construction area with separated parking (with an orange fence around) north of Devon Ave heading north at east side. Approaching aircraft to Rwy 14R are clearly visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Departure 32L {{anetlink|1267769}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arrival 14R {{anetlink|1297954}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arrivals/departures at Rwy 14L/32R&lt;br /&gt;
Drive east on  Touhy/Higgins, after crossing the railroad turn right at Mt Prospect Road towards employees airport gate. After 50-100 feet turn right on a small circle. A good place to take some shots , but sometimes Aviation Police can be there. This Rwy also will be closed in about two three years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to get around is a car. Without a car you can get one maybe two places but you&#039;ll never know the wind direction even if you check METAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On summertime afternoons a good place is an abandoned fast food restaurant near Foster Ave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rwy 10 arrivals and 28 departures are visible from both locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Irving Park Road===&lt;br /&gt;
A good place to take photos of aircraft arriving on 4R or departing from 22L is from an airline cargo facility right off of Irving park road.&lt;br /&gt;
When driving from the west on Irving Pk take a left on to seymour ave then then another quick left at the first lot entrance after the small curve in the road. Drive all the way down the road and then park in one of the spaces. Arrivals at 4R and 22L departures are clearly visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations to Avoid==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cargo South===&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid the South Cargo Area. Aviation and Chicago Police frequent the area and sometimes you can meet an FBI patrol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===West end===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At west end avoid private property between the manufacturers&#039; shops. Also try to not block traffic on all streets around the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not go near the hill that construction near runway 10 has created as it is airport property.  If you are seen near or on the hill, you will be charged with trespassing on airport property, government property, and railroad property. This is a serious offense, do not go here as was stated before!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Higgins/Mannheim===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid the area around the General Aviation ramp near the North Cargo area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cemetery===&lt;br /&gt;
You can still go to St. Johannes Cemetery to watch planes on 10/28 or see the Fedex ramp from very close however if you are seen with a camera the police will tell you you can&#039;t take pictures and they may ask you to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regular Traffic==&lt;br /&gt;
Aer Lingus, AeroMexico, Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz, Air Choice One, Air France, Air India, Alaska Airlines, All Nippon, American Airlines, American Eagle, Asiana Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Cayman Airways, Copa Airlines, Delta Airlines, Etihad Airways, Iberia Airlines, Japan Airlines, JetBlue, KLM Royal Dutch, Korean Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Royal Jordanian, Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), Spirit Airlines, SWISS, TACA Airlines, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways, Virgin America, and Virgin Atlantic Airways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Facilities and Transportation==&lt;br /&gt;
There is a Metro station (Blue Line) that will take you from the airport to downtown Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Hotels==&lt;br /&gt;
There is a Hilton Hotel located on the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Runway Usage==&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some of the usual runway usage patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the west - The optimal and preferred runway pattern for O&#039;Hare when the winds are blowing in any direction under about 6mph or from the west is as follows. Arrivals use runways 28, 27L, and 27R and departures use 22L and 32L. Large aircraft such as A340s and 747s may depart from 28 depending on their weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the east - Arrivals use runways 10 and 4R and departures use runways 9R and 4L. If a lot of planes become stacked up in the air 9R will temporarily become a arrival runway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the south - Runways 14R and 22R are used for arrivals and runways 14L and 22L are used for departures. Runway 10 also may be used for arrivals and heavy departures if the wind speed is not very high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Introductory paragraph goes here --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There no official spotting locations. All non-official spotting locations are checked by airport security, Aviation Police or Police patrols.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===USG Parking Area===&lt;br /&gt;
The main spotting location is located at the USG Corporation on Scott St. which is close to the intersection of Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave. You can park in their parking lot if it is the weekend but when the building is open you should park on the street. From here there is nice view of the south part of the airport and a full view of runways 28, 27L ,27R and 22L glidepaths. Also thru fences, taxiways Delta, Mike and Quebec are visible when aircraft are taxiing to Rwy. 22L for departure. To take photos of runway 28 operations, 80mm and larger lenses will work OK. This is a good spotting place all day when wind is coming from the west, southwest or northwest. The parking lot is in Schiller Park, but Scott Street is in Chicago as is Mannheim Rd which are both considered in the airport area. DO NOT continue far north on Scott Street past the red warning signs, or the aviation police will come and could confiscate your photo equipment or you could even be arrested for trespassing on airport property.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1308441}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also you can take some shots from Hwy I-294 heading southbound directly under glidepath to Rwy 28 at your own risk (as we know 2 hrs standing limit)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|5977943}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Balmoral Avenue===&lt;br /&gt;
When driving on north on Mannheim Rd take the exit to Balmoral Ave east. Pass the first stop sign and bridge over railroad, turn right twice and park at the Rosemont Metra Station parking lot. You may need to buy a ticket at pay station (sometimes Metra people or Rosemont police can check tickets, except on weekends, when the train is not operating) and go on the bridge. There is a nice view from the bridge, however you will need a camera that has a min. of a 300mm lens to get any decent photos. This is a great place to take pictures of taxiing aircraft to/from Rwy 22L or aircraft approaching Rwy 28 (summertime early morning).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6015512}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6011991}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cell Phone Lot===&lt;br /&gt;
Off of Mannheim Road south of Higgins/Touhy is the Airport&#039;s &amp;quot;Cell Phone Lot. You may park in this lot for free as long as you do not leave your vehicle unattended. There is an electronic arrivals board as well as an outhouse for emergency relief. Gives a nice view of approaches to 27R and 27L or departures from 9L and 9R.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Allstate Arena===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next good location is Allstate Arena area located at Mannheim Rd(US-12/US-45) between Higgins Rd (IL-72) and Touhy Ave. Full view of Rwy 22R all day (different places depend on where the sun is). From 9-10 am in the morning till 2-3pm a good place is the small parking lot opposite car wash just across Mannheim Rd. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the summer, Sundays on the south side of Allstate Arena building is a flea market. You can walk between sellers, look for some good views and take shots. In wintertime, access to the parking is closed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|5960142}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In afternoons, a good place is a huge parking lot between Target store and Touhy Ave (closer to Touhy).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1272564}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late afternoons a good place is the back of the Allstate Arena parking lot close to Hwy I-90&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{anetlink|1267685}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{jplink|6091311}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in this area you can find a spot to see arrivals at new Rwy 27R.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Beeline Road===&lt;br /&gt;
Runway 10 operations can easily be seen from Beeline road in Bensonville. You can park on the side of the road and watch with no problems. This location is likely the closest you can get to landing planes as they come only a few hundred feet directly above the road. General photography isn&#039;t the best here though as you can only get direct head on shots of planes. As already said aircraft pass directly over the road so would only be able to see the bottom of the aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;

Early mornings at sunrise you can stop at a small construction area with separated parking (with an orange fence around) north of Devon Ave heading north at east side. Approaching aircraft to Rwy 14R are clearly visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Departure 32L {{anetlink|1267769}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arrival 14R {{anetlink|1297954}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arrivals/departures at Rwy 14L/32R&lt;br /&gt;
Drive east on  Touhy/Higgins, after crossing the railroad turn right at Mt Prospect Road towards employees airport gate. After 50-100 feet turn right on a small circle. A good place to take some shots , but sometimes Aviation Police can be there. This Rwy also will be closed in about two three years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best way to get around is a car. Without a car you can get one maybe two places but you&#039;ll never know the wind direction even if you check METAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On summertime afternoons a good place is an abandoned fast food restaurant near Foster Ave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rwy 10 arrivals and 28 departures are visible from both locations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Irving Park Road===&lt;br /&gt;
A good place to take photos of aircraft arriving on 4R or departing from 22L is from an airline cargo facility right off of Irving park road.&lt;br /&gt;
When driving from the west on Irving Pk take a left on to seymour ave then then another quick left at the first lot entrance after the small curve in the road. Drive all the way down the road and then park in one of the spaces. Arrivals at 4R and 22L departures are clearly visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations to Avoid==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cargo South===&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid the South Cargo Area. Aviation and Chicago Police frequent the area and sometimes you can meet an FBI patrol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===West end===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At west end avoid private property between the manufacturers&#039; shops. Also try to not block traffic on all streets around the airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not go near the hill that construction near runway 10 has created as it is airport property.  If you are seen near or on the hill, you will be charged with trespassing on airport property, government property, and railroad property. This is a serious offense, do not go here as was stated before!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Higgins/Mannheim===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Avoid the area around the General Aviation ramp near the North Cargo area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cemetery===&lt;br /&gt;
You can still go to St. Johannes Cemetery to watch planes on 10/28 or see the Fedex ramp from very close however if you are seen with a camera the police will tell you you can&#039;t take pictures and they may ask you to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Regular Traffic==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Facilities and Transportation==&lt;br /&gt;
There is a Metro station (Blue Line) that will take you from the airport to downtown Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Runway Usage==&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some of the usual runway usage patterns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the west - The optimal and preferred runway pattern for O&#039;Hare when the winds are blowing in any direction under about 6mph or from the west is as follows. Arrivals use runways 28, 27L, and 27R and departures use 22L and 32L. Large aircraft such as A340s and 747s may depart from 28 depending on their weight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the east - Arrivals use runways 10 and 4R and departures use runways 9R and 4L. If a lot of planes become stacked up in the air 9R will temporarily become a arrival runway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind from the south - Runways 14R and 22R are used for arrivals and runways 14L and 22L are used for departures. Runway 10 also may be used for arrivals and heavy departures if the wind speed is not very high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A good website to see a wind forecast for the airport is here.[http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&amp;amp;sta=KORD&amp;amp;state=IL]&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Viewpoint Park&amp;quot; overlook on the West side was closed in 2001, and has now disappeared under the 3rd runway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Water Tank===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the North of the airport there is a small park at 24th. Ave S. and S146th St. Arriving traffic on the 16L and 16C can be logged and photographed from here. There is room for about five cars to park.&lt;br /&gt;
The Port of Seattle police occasionally patrol here although technically it&#039;s not airport property. A quick ID check and they&#039;ll leave you alone. This spot is best in the morning hours and a 300mm telephoto lens is recommended. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Parking Garage===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Northwest N589NW.jpg|thumb|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Seatac parking garage offers a great spot for photography of airplanes. It is located on the eighth floor on the northwest side of the parking garage. This spot is the only suitable area on the eighth floor to view planes on the tarmac or runway. The eighth floor of the parking garage is used for weekly parking, so if you plan to park in the parking garage, you can do so on floor four, five or six only. Get there early if you plan to take pictures because by 2PM the sun is directly in your eyes. Heat haze in the summertime sets in at around 10-11AM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===188th Street===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When planes are landing on runways 34R and 34C, 188th Street and 16th AVE offers good spotting opportunities. From this location you can take pictures of planes landing over the 188th Street tunnel. The best time to take pictures from this location is from 3PM to Sunset. Police activity is usually a minimal. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Golf Course===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the immediate S. of the airport is the Tyee Valley Golf Course.&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming you&#039;re not playing a round, there are a couple of spots nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
The car park offers views of arrivals on both runways although the trees can get in the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A road goes around the W. side of the course allowing for spotting runway 34R traffic (that on 34L flies directly overhead), but the subjects for photos will be a bit high and it&#039;s only good in the afternoon on sunny days. The road bends halfway down so has 2 names - 18th Ave. S. and/or S196th St.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations to Avoid==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Eastern Perimeter===&lt;br /&gt;

===Currency Conversion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two booths at the airport to convert foreign money into United States Dollars. One is located by the Northwest Ticketing counter on the ticketing level, and one in the baggage claim across from Carousel number two.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Official Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===FBO/GA Terminal===&lt;br /&gt;
FBO/GA Terminal on the east side of the airport. The FBO &lt;br /&gt;
guys have no problem with you walking out on to the tarmac as long as you stay behind the blue line.&lt;br /&gt;
You can enter through either side gate or the main entrance of the building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other Spotting Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Research Park===&lt;br /&gt;
Turn into Research Park off of Raymond Stotzer Pkwy at Research Pkwy. Take the first right onto Technology Loop. Park after the second bridge and walk across the frisbee golf course. You&#039;ll end up on a hill overlooking 2818 right near the end of runway 16. This location is not very good for landings on winter afternoons.&lt;br /&gt;
===General Aviation Parking Lot===&lt;br /&gt;
There is two-hour parking right next to the tower. The only fence is waist-high, and many of the larger charter airplanes park right there.&lt;br /&gt;
===Nuclear Science Road===&lt;br /&gt;
Turn into the airport at George Bush Drive, and make a left at Nuclear Science Road, just before the large-scale wind tunnel. Take Nuclear Science past the fire training school. It loops all the way around the end of runway 34. There are a few places to stop along the road. &lt;br /&gt;
