I took a quick peak through a few of these. Some, like LAX are quite well written and informative. I will be bookmarking that page for my trip out there in the fall. Others, including JFK, were not so well written and didn't give very clear instructions. "Take the monorail to the last stop" doesn't really tell me much. The best piece of info on the JFK guide was to consult NYCA :cool: I do like the .pdf format, makes it easy to save to the iPad.

I have found the spotters wiki (http://www.spotterswiki.com/index.php/Main_Page) to be an excellent source of information for unfamiliar airports. Easy to read and good instructions, presented in a concise format.

I found epic fail already. LAS info says the top of the parking garage is only good in late afternoon? LOL. I can't wait to see how good those 1 departures are shooting right into the sun. It's a sunrise spot you GIBRONI! Thought with a good tripod and windless night you can grab some good night stuff but late afternoon? lol

I particularly like their "locations to avoid" section on most of their entries. All around good info on SpottersWiki for the most part. Usually what I refer to when going somewhere I have never been before that's not a Major airport covered by NYCA :cool:
