Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hence, the use of a pickup truck ;)

Hello spotters,

I was there in 2008. Rented a pick up truck at the Dollar rental company.
We went to the local Home Depot (gamma) and bought bricks and wooden slats for just 10 Dollar.
You will also need some towels to prevent damage.
Then you will have your own tribune to take pictures over the fence.


No problem with the police and lots of locals must laugh.

Thanks Rutger!
The Southwest airplanes are quite boring after you have seen a few of those. Only when the 'classic' Southwest showed up, I got a smile on my face :)

Nowadays it becomes harder to get great 'clean' shots around airports in the USA. Government and airport authorities are closing lots of spotting areas. It used to be way easier in the past and now, in 2010, it's still good, although it was better before.
