-This is a morning spot for Runway 32 departures or Runway 14 arrivals.  Lighting is good from sunrise to about noon.  A medium telephoto zoom (70-300mm) is sufficient for jets and large props, a large telephoto (300 to 400mm) is needed for small props.
+Formerly Northwest Cargo, Atlas and Polar Air Cargo now parks here.  Boeing 747-400LCF Dreamlifter (operated by Atlas) also parks here.
-Park your car either next to the street or the open dirt area as shown on the map.  There are no signs, except the large open dirt area and some airport concrete barriers.  Walk along the trail next to the airport fence line for about ¼ mile.  As you approach the end of the fence, you will see the Northwest Cargo ramp.  Turn left and go up the hill to get an unobstructed view of Runway 32/14.
