By runway 35C. | ''According to the [http://www.dfwairport.com/visitor/founders.php airport's website], Founders Plaza is closed until September 2008.'' | ||
By runway 35C. | |||
When DFW is in a North operation, which is only about 20% of the time, the aircraft landing on 35C touchdown really close to this area. The problem with photography is that this area is east of the landing runway 35C and takeoff runway 35L so they quickly become backlit. | When DFW is in a North operation, which is only about 20% of the time, the aircraft landing on 35C touchdown really close to this area.

There's actually better success doing photography from here on a day where there is a Southbound operation. Aircraft landing on 17L, which is a mile east of this area, taxi right in front of the plaza. The taxiway "ER" goes right in front of Founder's Plaza, and it is just north of the plaza so lighting is usually good. | There's actually better success doing photography from here on a day where there is a Southbound operation.
