===Airport Boulevard Spots===


'''Airport Blvd Shoulder''': Anywhere along the Airport Blvd curve near the southwestern corner of the Airport, where there are no sidewalks and just a dirt shoulder.  There are ground-level utility boxes that provide a good place to keep your footing when taking photos.  The height of the road shoulder provides enough elevation to see over the fence.  HOWEVER, police have regularly asked me to leave from this location and instead go to the SJSU parking lot just up the street (see "San José State University Aviation Department" above).  It's never been a big deal, but I've been told it's a safety issue with the proximity to the road and lack of sidewalk.  To avoid this issue (as stated in the above section), park in the SJSU lot, walk out onto Airport Blvd when it's time to get your photo, and then walk back to "safety".
