Reno-Tahoe International Airport: Difference between revisions

This is probably one of the most versatile spots at RNO. You can get shots of the planes taxiing for takeoff when they are using the 34's or get planes departing the 16's. Park on the opposite side of the house in the dirt shoulder and you can get departure shots just fine from there, or if you don't mind a little risk, cross the street and you can stand a little indention of the shoulder and shoot over the fence without a ladder. Beware though you are feet from a busy road and you may draw attention, this is the only spot I have been checked out. It isn't that nice of an area so it's understandable. This spot is best in the afternoon.

Right now (08/2008) this is not a good spot as the terminal check in area is getting renovated they have a temporary structure up which is blocking the view of the WN ramp and runways. When it is taken down this is a pretty good spot to get planes taxiing,departing,landing and watching the WN ramp operations. You do have to pay to get in, the best way is to go through the "Long Term" parking gate and just follow the signs. Before a recent lighting update you could get good shots of the cargo ramp also but that is now no more. Park in the SE corner and you should be good to go. You may a have a cruiser stop by to check your ID but overall it isn't bad. This is an afternoon spot.
