Tucson International Airport (TUS/KTUS) is a medium-sized airport with 3 runways. The airport is oriented from southeast to northwest along the two main runways 11L/R and 29R/L. A cross runway, 21/3, is located at the northern end of the airport, and is used mainly by GA and bizjets, occasionally by airliners if the winds are strong out of the southwest. The terminal is located midfield along the northeast side, and most of the GA, maintenance, and military facilites are clustered around the northwest end. The airport is quite a distance away from the center of the city, but there are a number of good-quality motels and a few name-brand restaurants nearby. | |||
TUS is located 4 miles south of Interstate Highway 10 and 4 miles east of Interstate Highway 19. If driving from Phoenix, stay on Interstate 10 and take exit 263A - Kino Pkwy South, then follow signs for the airport. The airport entrance is at Tucson Blvd. and Valencia Road, and that is the point of reference for the following spotting descriptions. | |||
