You can take the elevators to the top floor and you get a sweeping view of the main runway, 12R/30L, and to your right is runway 3/21. Most traffic is usually on 12R, you can get some nice rotation shots from that angle. Sometimes runway 3 is used and although I have never been spotting when runway 3 is used, I'm sure you can get some nice shots of approaching aircraft, the only problem is that the floodlights will probably get in your way. A quick call to Public Affairs at 210-207-3450 is usually a good idea prior to going out.

===Raytheon Parking Lot===
 
Located on the right side of John Cape Rd, this parking lot for Raytheon offers a close-up view to rotations on 30L and touchdowns on 12R. Airport Police driving by on the perimeter road don't have a problem with spotters there, but sometimes employees of Raytheon might ask you to leave. Most weekends the lot is empty and is perfect for spotting.
