'''Theodore Francis Green Memorial Airport''' is an international airport located in Warwick, approximately six miles south of Providence in Kent County, Rhode Island. T.F. Green is the largest of six airports owned and operated by Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC); it was the first state owned airport in the United States. Other RIAC airports are Quonset State Airport (KOQU), Block Island State Airport (KBID), Newport State Airport (KUUU), North Central State Airport (KSFZ), and Westerly State Airport (KWST). T.F. Green is the official airport of The New England Patriots and due to the proximity to Boston, sports charters are common all year around.


==Official Spotting Locations==
==Spotting Locations==


===Location===
===Winslow Park===
Winslow Park is located parallel to runway 23/5 and sits near the intersection of 23/34 making it the best location for runway 34/16 viewing as-well. Winslow has great views during the morning time but becomes backlit later in the day.


==Other Spotting Locations==
===Parking Garage A===
Parking garage A has a great view of the whole airfield and allows for non-backlit photos during the afternoon to evening hours. Be careful though, if you stand too close to the edge Southwest may call Airport Police on you.


===Location===
===Main Ave===
Main Ave at the end of runway 23/5 is a great location when runway 5 is in use. Because of the lack of obstructions to the area due to the ILS system, this location is good all day long.


==Locations to Avoid==
===Warwick Industrial Drive===
 
Warwick Industrial Drive is also a great spot during runway 5 operations but it too is backlit during the afternoon.
