The Mounds

A large mound next to a football (soccer) field. In between 230 st. and 230 pl., behind the school. Arivals on 22L can be seen from this location, and the light is especally nice during the late evening hours. Locals are typically friendly and on some days you might even enjoy a soccer match while spotting. Be careful of tics.

Nicknamed "HoBe", this spot is located on Cross Bay Blvd, and provides and excellent view of planes taking off from runway 13L. The planes turn left after takeoff in the interest of noise abatement, so nice banking shots are common.
