In August 2021, the airport designated a plane spotting area at the end of Park Rd, near runway 06. The airport also requires spotters to complete a spotting permit form. Additional details, application form, and map to the area can be found [https://bradleyairport.com/learn/plane-spotting/ on the airport's web site]. | |||

In addition to the spectator lot at the end of Rwy 06, you can also get some head-on and underbelly shots from the hill across the street. If you look across Route 20 from the spectator lot, you'll see the hill right under the approach path. You can follow the little road that is next to it and pull off and park. Then, just walk up on the hill and shoot away. You can also catch departures on 24 here.<br /> | In addition to the spectator lot at the end of Rwy 06, you can also get some head-on and underbelly shots from the hill across the street.

Directions: From I-91, take exit 40 for the Route 20 Connector to the airport. When Route 20 splits off right before the airport, continue to follow Route 20. After the split, you'll pass the end of Rwy 06 on your right about 1/2 mile from the split. The hill and road are on the left across from the end of the runway. | Directions: From I-91, take exit 40 for the Route 20 Connector to the airport.

Directions: Take exit 39 for Route 75 off I-91. Take a left onto Route 75. Follow Route 75 past Friendly's (on the right) and Bradley Bowl is directly after it on the righthand side. It is private property and an active business, so it is possible that the owners may get aggravated, but I've never heard of anyone having problems there (including myself on several occasions). | Directions: Take exit 39 for Route 75 off I-91.

Also, the Friendly's lot and the lot of business next to it are good for photography too. | |||
