Plane spotters in Montreal
Montréal airport makes plane spotting easy by having a Park right next to one of the runways. (www.cbc.ca) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
APF (Naples, FL) has a nice park like setting too at the approach end of RWY 05. With a raised platform area featuring benches and the occasional/seasonal (?) shade sail, timer controlled ATC Tower speaker, children's play area with airplane like toys and bathrooms. They've done it up nicely.
SFO by train stop - old terminal..pretty good.. LAX of course, south of airport on top of hill, also a parking lot just east of north runways gives excellent views of Asian arrivals... I too wish there was more access
If you haven't spent an hour at the In-n-Out on Sepulveda at the approach end of 24R at LAX......such a fun spot.

And back in the day, there used to be a street that crossed the dunes west of the airport called Sandpiper Street that was at the departure end of 24R, which was even more fun. Closed after 9-11, sadly

My favorite is the Gravely Point boat launch area on the north side of DCA, about 100 feet from the threshold of runway 19. When they are running the River Approach, you can watch the approaching planes all cranked over in a right bank trying to get lined up with 19. You can practically count the rivets!!
Toronto Pearson made an official spotting area but its super far from the runways, so everyone uses the sidewalks on roads closer to the action. If they ever crack down on the "unofficial" locations nobody will use the designated area because its useless.
Why I like the Airport Rd location..get hungry or thirsty, Wendy's is right there..and if u want to get close, just hop across the road to the observers sidewalk.
Yes that "official" area is a joke

Love watching them come in and take off on 23 near Airport Rd Wendy's here in Toronto..also great viewing over off Britannia on the west side and Etobicoke Creek Trail
