===North Airport Access Road (N Park Rd.)===
===North Airport Access Road (N Park Rd.)===


This road connects the FBOs on the east side of the airport to the light industrial complex on the west side of the airport, running along the north perimeter fence.  Good shots can be had of pretty much all arrivals from the north (runways 14, 17, and 18), and, in most situations, departures to the north (off of runways 32, 35, and 36).  Occasionally, departures off of 36 can be difficult to shoot from the access road without a long telephoto (200+ mm), as, depending on where the aircraft starts its takeoff roll, it can be at quite a significant altitude by the time it crosses over the access road (36 is over 12000 feet long, giving the aircraft plenty of time to climb out, while still over the runway).  The road runs perpendicular to all three runways (it turns to pass the approach to Rwy 14 at a right angle), so time of day is less of a concern than at some locations, as it is easy to reposition yourself depending on the sun (one side of the runway vs. the other).

Shots can be had of pretty much all traffic with a lens no longer than about 200mm (on an APS-C DSLR, so about 320mm full-frame), and the larger aircraft (generally the KC-135R's of the Nebraska Air National Guard) can be shot with a 135mm lens on an APS-C DSLR.
