==Official Spotting Locations==
==Spotting Locations==


===Location===
===Winslow Park===
Providence has some great spotting locations. For Runway 23, there is 300 Airport Drive. Although it is state property, I had no problem spotting there. If you walk over in front of Runway 23, airplanes will fly over at as low as 40 feet. For Runway 5, use Warwick Industrial Drive. It is a great place to see airplanes departing and arriving.
Winslow Park is located parallel to runway 23/5 and sits near the intersection of 23/34 making it the best location for runway 34/16 viewing as-well. Winslow has great views during the morning time but becomes backlit later in the day.  


==Other Spotting Locations==
===Parking Garage A===
Parking garage A has a great view of the whole airfield and allows for non-backlit photos during the afternoon to evening hours. Be careful though, if you stand too close to the edge Southwest may call Airport Police on you.


===Location===
===Main Ave===
Main Ave at the end of runway 23/5 is a great location when runway 5 is in use. Because of the lack of obstructions to the area due to the ILS system, this location is good all day long.


==Locations to Avoid==
===Warwick Industrial Drive===
 
Warwick Industrial Drive is also a great spot during runway 5 operations but it too is backlit during the afternoon.
