Adjacent to the STS terminal, there is a small parking lot used to store rental cars for the companies in the terminal. West of the parking lot a small grassy area can yield good shots. One problem is that part of the chain link fence is blocked with green plastic weaved between the holes. This makes the view smaller and only allows photos to the north of the grassy area. If they are taking off to the south, the Horizon Airlines departure will taxi right and takeoff, right past this area. General aviation traffic taking off to the south will lift off the runway before they pass you and can yield good shots. Past 4pm, the area is shaded and will result with dark shots. This is a good location during the day for taxi and takeoff shots for all STS traffic. | Adjacent to the STS terminal, there is a small parking lot used to store rental cars for the companies in the terminal.

Another spotter disagrees with the above assessment of this spot. This spot was backlit for photographs in the summer by 10:30am, though it is good for photographs of the Cal Fire ramp. | |||
