George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH/IAH) is located approximately 23 miles north of downtown Houston off of U.S. Highway 59 near Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway). IAH is the largest of 3 municipal airports that are operated and maintained by the City of Houston's Department of Aviation. The Houston Airport System (HAS) functions as an enterprise fund and does not burden the local tax base for airport operations, maintenance or capital improvements. | George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH/IAH) is located approximately 23 miles north of downtown Houston off of U.S. Highway 59 near Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway).

Just take a right pulling out of Lee Rd. Spotting area then head back towards the terminal, and take the first right. The DB Schenker Facility is clearly marked. NOTE park about halfway down as to not raise too much concern. Note that many people from the IAH Spotters Group have been hassled by Homeland Security, BAX Security, and HAS Security. | Just take a right pulling out of Lee Rd.

===Shopping Center at Greens Road and Stephenson Road=== | |||
Previously known as the Aviators Pub spotting area (Aviators Pub now a grassy field), this area offers great views of departures off of 15L, and 15R. Not officially official, so it's recommended you stay in your car with a scanner till the aircraft are cleared for takeoff. For 15R departures, drive to the western half of the shopping center's parking lot. | |||
