===Layton Avenue Airport Observation Area===


Located on Layton Avenue, North of the Airport. Has nice views of runway 19R, however there are multiple fences between the parking lot and the runway. Hard to get a good shot of traffic on runway and neighboring taxiways. Good for landing shots on days where 19R is in use.

Located at South 6th St. and Air Cargo Way. The Amtrak station gives a nice approach shot to runway 7R. When looking east, there is a large hill on your right where the planes fly over on approach. The hill isn't a problem if you have a lens larger than 55mm (100mm should be okay).

This park is bounded on three sides by Layton Avenue, Brust Avenue, and Whitnall Avenue. Parking is somewhat limited here.

Good lighting may be found most times of day here.
