Can anyone tell me where the Firestone spot is for JFK?

Thanks!

It's very near the Costco spot. My technique for getting there is to go down Rockaway Blvd just past the Costco and make a right at the light (I think it's Bay Blvd). Firestone is in the shopping center to the left (the actual Firestone building being empty and looking every bit the part).

On this map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=jfk&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=40.627927,-73.737745&spn=0.00368,0.010815&t=h&om=1), Costco is north of Bay Blvd while the shopping center with Firestone at the north of the parking lot south of Bay Blvd.

I haven't actually done any spotting there; I prefer to park in the Costco parking lot (south side, away from the entrance and most of the people). I get a nice view of the sky and I can just sit in the car, pop the door open and shoot when something's coming, to avoid freezing (in the winter, anyway).

Firestone is closed so you might not see signs anymore but just look for BestBuy, Petco and Burlington.

Thanks Phil!

Mike, no wonder I couldn't find it on the Firestone website!
