===Long Term Parking Lot (Brokaw Rd)===
'''This spot is now closed!'''
The Long Term parking lot has excellent views of both runways along their entire length.  You are also within a couple feet of the taxiway that most (if not all) private jets and general aviation aircraft use.  Park along the chain-link fence and use either a step-ladder or truck bed to see over it.  Parking is $1.00/20min.  Security/police will usually question what you are doing, ask if you are paying for parking, and then usually will let you be.  Don't park outside to avoid the parking fees, since they will ask you to leave if you aren't a paying customer.  Late-afternoon/evening lighting is best for photos, and a long lens (200mm+) is recommended.
