===USG Parking Area===
Main spotting location is located near USG corp. parking area at Scott Ave close to Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave intersection. There is nice view of southside part of airport and full preview of 28 , 27L and 22L glidepath. Also thru fences Delta , Mike and Quebeck taxiways are visible when aircrafts taxiing to rwy 22L  for departure. To take a photos at 28 80mm and up lenses are ok. Close to service gate at the end of Scott Ave even 17-20mm lenses are ok when A340 or B747 is approaching. Good spotting place during all day when wind is from W , SW or NW.
