I'm down in Myrtle Beach pretending to be an old person for the week. Has anyone ever spotted at KMYR? They get some interesting(ish) stuff that we don't see up north too often, at least from what I've seen on Flightaware. If anyone has any info on where to go, I'd be super grateful.

I've been to Myrtle several times, but never the airport.
Look at this:

Try the mini golfing place or the park off Farrow.

I did some spotting at MYR once; I spent about an hour or so and though it was kinda slow (maybe summer season is busier) I did get a couple of interesting planes, like a C-130 from Pope AFB doing touch-and-goes. If they're landing on 36, then Myrtle Beach State Park can be a good spot, though I don't know how that gets in the summer (I was there in March). It's just to the south of the mini-golf place Adam linked.

There are a lot of nooks and crannies for getting the GA and stored Dornier 328Jets of Skyways/Midwest Express, but the best view of the runway is from right next to the terminal.
