| - The airport overlook is a very unique thing in the US. Not many airports encourage watching of planes, and very very few have made a designated spot to do so, and this is one of them. Offering a great view of runway 18C and 36C, the overlook sees plenty of action all day. US Airways dominates the scene, but you'll see airlines like Delta, United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, and American. 18C/36C generally serves westbound departures and arrivals from the west, so you won't see things like jetBlue on this runway. For photos, you'll need no more than 300mm, and you can get away with a 200mm lens, as the planes are very close. Recent improvements to the overlook have made it even better--a median with flowers in the middle, and the cleaning up of the area. It also has picnic tables and benches, and can get very busy on a Saturday afternoon. If you like watching planes, this is the spot to do it.
