Official Spotting Locations

Hog Island Road

  • The Wagner Tree

Runs right next to the airport and there are numerous spots along the road. The main use of Hog Island Rd is just after the first curve out of the tunnel straighens out. You can go farther up park and right when the road starts to climb a light grade to shoot side on shots of aircraft over the threshold through the fence.

Gravel Lot

Further down Hog Island road next to the UPS facility, there is a small gravel parking lot which is near 27L. Good views of the 27L departures can be had. When you see fire training equipment that is the Gravel Lot right there.

Other Spotting Locations

Location

Locations to Avoid

Not any places to really avoid on the Philadelphia County side of the airport. Just dont park along the fence side at all. Tinicum Twp PD may have a problem with you parking down by 9R. So keep the time your there for a shot minimal and move on.
