 ===USG Parking Area===
-Main spotting location is located near USG Corp. parking area at Scott Ave close to Mannheim Rd (US12/US45) and Lawrence Ave intersection. There is nice view of southside part of airport and full view of 28, 27L and 22L glidepath. Also thru fences, Delta, Mike and Quebec taxiways are visible when aircrafts taxiing to rwy 22L  for departure. To take a photo at 28, 80mm and up lenses are ok. Close to service gate at the end of Scott Ave even 17-20mm lenses are ok when A340 or B747 is approaching. Good spotting place during all day when wind is from the west, southwest or northwest. Parking lot is in Shiller Park   , but Scott Ave is in Chicago as Mannheim Rd at airport area.
