This blog is geared toward helping fellow enthusiasts identify spotting areas at airports. I've included shots I've taken from those spots to give you an idea of what kind of photos can be expected from each vantage point.

Fairbanks, Alaska - FAI/PAFA

N96358 - Brooks Air Fuel DC-4
Fairbanks provides for some magnificent memories with many of the movements being of the round engine variety.  Summer is the time to go as the sun is up longer than your body will be.  A car is necessary as the airfield is of substantial size.  The runways are oriented north/south so mornings and afternoons provide the best light for your subjects.

N747CE - Everts Air Fuel DC-6
A side trip took me up to Umiat, Alaska which is nothing more than an airport supporting a drilling operation. The photos below show what was seen.
