Spotting at Sky Harbor PHX?

[bc2209]

Does anybody know if there are designated spots to do some airplane spotting at Sky Harbor?

I don't want to post up in a parking lot somewhere to watch the planes and have the police stop by if I can help it.

Thanks for your help!

On Facebook there is a page called "freight dog photography". He spots around PHX a fair amount.

Last I remember, there isn't a specific viewing area, at least not like ABQ has.

I just spotted in my shorts. I'm not in PHX though.

Is it on the top level of a parking garage?

PHX would be boring to me. Nothing but Airbuses with an occasional 7-5 mixed in.

DVT would provide much more entertaining viewing.

Not if you go during a cargo push. Lots of goodies on the south side.

Come in by the old dog track and park on airlane or the east end.

Call the lucky guy and tell him you're good for another month.

Like how many times can an Archer bounce on a Touch and Go?

Doo it! While you're there, climb the fence whilst wearing a turban and loudly chanting "lalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalaa", as you run towards the ramp tarmac.That should make for some good internet pics.

Airlane by Honeywell is a popular spot. Also terminals 3 or 4's garage roofs have awesome views. I wouldn't worry about cops & such as PHX is pretty chill. I used to work those parking garages and ran into spotters all the time without any problems.

This time a year, go with the garage. No heat haze in your shots, and you can be on the top floor because the sun isn't terrible. Cops don't bother spotters there.

PHX: Same airliners over and over.

DVT: Same GA planes over and over

LUF: Same military planes over and over

GYR: Same German planes over and over

MZJ: Same parked planes, plus interesting arrivals and other interesting activity that while not too obvious, is also not too secret neither.

So then KTUS is where it's at?

A319/A320/A321/737-7/738739 & CRJ's ALL DAY/NIGHT!!!
A few MD-80's and the occasional 757.

That's PHX!

I was at KNYL recently, I saw a really cool mix of civil and military stuff out there. I was next to an AV-8B on a parallel approach. Of course, he overtook us.
