Previously well known restaurant went bankrupt in 2004 and is closed. The area though is still open and spotting is possible however you may be occasionally hassled by NFTA Police.

'''2. Old parking lot at Cayuga Rd.'''
===Old parking lot at Cayuga Rd.===


This is a closed airport parking lot on Cayuga Rd. Going from the terminal make a right on Genesee St. then right onto Cayuga Rd. Pass the runaway line and park on the right side at first open parking lot (before NFTA Police bulding). Then walk back and get inside the parking lot that is closed for traffic.

NFTA Police usually has no problem with people watching/photographing aircraft. I have contacted airport authorities in February 2005 and they indicated that they have no problem with it as well. However as always, if an officer in a bad mood passes by or somebody reports "suspicious activity" you will get hassled.

I was told very rudley to leave Tigers when I was there in Feb 06. I was asked if I had permission from the restaurant's owner to be there. Since I didn't, I was told I was trespassing. Very rude NFTA cops. I filed a complaint with the NFTA, but big surprise, they never got it after waiting a month for a repsonse.
