Which airports or military bases (USA only) would you like to go spotting at in the near future - that you haven't been to - and why?

Here's my list:

1. Long Beach International (LGB) - Catch the newest C-17s in action before they are delivered
2. Los Angeles International (LAX) - 'Nuff said
3. San Francisco International (SFO) - 'Nuff said
4. Nellis AFB (LSV) - Especially during Red Flag exercises
5. Las Vegas (LAS) - Only because of the scenery....plus its Vegas
6. Baltimore Washington International (BWI) - Get some Southwest action
7. Dulles International Airport (IAD) - Cuz its DC...
8. Atlanta (ATL) - Cuz sometimes I wanna shoot a lot of Delta and AirTran
9. San Diego (SAN) - I've spotted there before but it wasn't really spotting per se... and I liked the vantage point I had
10. Tulsa International (TUL) - Seems like every time I see a set of pictures from there on a.net I see F-16 action
11. Travis AFB (SUU) - Love the KC-10 and C-5, but I'm partial to the McGuire and Dover birds rather than the Travis ones...
12. Barksdale AFB (BAD) - BUFF action!
13. Ellsworth AFB (RCA) - B-1!
14. Dyess AFB (ABL...I think) - More B-1!

Lets see.

1. LAX again, three more weeks and I'll be there!!!
2. LAS, haven't been there with the new camera yet.
3. MIA, what other airport that's two hours away by air can you get a
DC-6?
4. San Juan (yes it is the US, we own them)
5. DFW, why not capture all of AA's fleet in one day.
6. MCO, lots of variety.
7. FLL, good angles.
8. ORD, loads of great birds.
9. MDW, in the sun you can get some great angles.
10. ISP, just for the fact they don't want me there now, lol

1. JFK - Don't think I need to elaborate on this....
2. LAX - Was there in June, need to go back when there's no friggin HEAT HAZE! :P
3. ANC - Great heavy freighter action + tons of classics
4. MIA - For the smokers..
5. FLL - Good spots to shoot from and an ok variety of traffic.
