The main spotting location is located at | The main spotting location is located at One Spot Parking, formally the old USG Corporation and WallyPark on Scott St. which is close to the intersection of Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave. The old parking lot is closed, but street parking is allowed as there is no through traffic. From here there is nice view of the south part of the airport and a full view of runways 28C and 27L 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 28C 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. | ||
