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.

Paine Field, Everett, WA - KPAE

I don't think much needs to be said about this airport.  It's just where Boeing manufactures their heavy iron. (747, 767, 777, 787)  Thousands of visitors a year make the "pilgrimage" to PAE as part of their visit to the Seattle area's aviation attractions.  Photos can be taken from many locations around the field and it would be a dark day in you know where if you found yourself being the only photographer up there.  The best vantage point is the parking lot of the Future of Flight Museum which allows unobstructed views of the plant's ramp and airfield.  (Just be prepared for the sun to not cooperate with you)

Other areas are located by the control tower and on the south end of the field near the fire station.
