My old home airport doesn't get a huge variety of subjects and is pretty much unshootable in the summer months as the runways run east/west. During the winter months the sun is low enough throughout the day to catch just about every subject. There is a mix of commercial, GA, and military (A-10s mostly) that provide a fairly constant stream of traffic.
If they are landing to the east, just head south on Orchard St. just past the approach lighting system and make a right on Wright St. Approach shots are fairly easy with any lens bigger than a 150mm

If the traffic is reversed, just make your way to the east side of the airfield on Production St., drive south of the centerline, climb the hill, and you'll see a pullout for your vehicle. You'll need a little longer lens here as you are farther away from the runway.

| N675FE - FedEx A300F |
These two spots are pretty much it as the entire southern part of the airfield is known as Gowen Field and is an active miltary base making any kind of "on the runway" shots impossible.
