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. 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. | 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.)

The viewing area faces west to runway 17L/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's even less. Most traffic on this runway is GA. | The viewing area faces west to runway 17L/35R, so it is only good for photography during the morning hours.

There is a nice place right on the 17R 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. | |||
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 17L, it will get you in trouble. | There is a large pile of dirt located next to the GA hangars.
