Official Spotting Locations
Lee Road
Lee Rd south of Will Clayton Pkwy at the end of runway 27. You get some nice approach shots, although 26L and 26R is frequently used as well.
Other Spotting Locations
Parking Garages
You can see some good action from the top of the parking garages.
Terminal A/B - Great for spotting domestic carriers excluding Continental, also great for takeoffs from any runway except 9/27
Terminal C - See a ton of Continental aircraft here
Terminal D/E - This is a fun terminal between 3:20 and 5:00 (PM) to see arriving heavies, and cargo, as well as departing heavies (Continental 772, Air France 773, British Airways 772, KLM 744...) This Terminal is also the ideal choice out of all, simply because it offers a great place to see arrivals on 26L
BAX Parking Facility
Just take a right pulling out of Lee Rd. Spotting area then head back towards the terminal, and take the first right. The BAX World Cargo Facility is clearly marked. NOTE park about halfway down as to not raise too much suspicion, I once got hassled by Homeland Security but wasn't too big of a deal they told me to leave
