Whos still spotting at DAL?

Postby DFW Spotter » Sun Apr 13, 2008 11:04 am

Hi, I was just curious if there is still a nice amount of spotters and photographers at Love. I still go there about once a week, and I spot in the parking lot of the Frontiers of Flight Museum and the circle parking lot down the road from the FFM, near where the Mavs jet parks.

I spot there on an infrequent basis, but I'm trying to change that since I've only spotted about 1/5 of Southwest's fleet. My go-to location is the top of the B parking garage. I've also been known to shoot from the museum and the Southwest employee lot on the NW corner, oh and Bachman Lake of course. Love is great if you LUV WN, but otherwise it can be a while between interesting aircraft. My white whale is that super-secret P-3 Orion with no markings that supposedly flies border missions for the CIA. If only they would list the flights on flightaware... I'll get it sooner or later; you just can't get any good action at DFW on north flow days so that's when I head to DAL.

I shoot there from time to time. Another good place to shoot is just alongside Denton Drive. Currently, there is a bit of construction going on over there, as well, as the Dart Light Rail lines are being put in place.

I've even gotten on top of a few of the tanker railroad cars to nail a shot. But I don't do it all the time, only if it is really something special.

Wow, that's all out! I don't think I would be daring enough to try that.

Hello! My first post here...I spot a little at DFW, about once a month and infrequently at Love. More time at the Tarrant County airports..

I found the site when looking for information about an unmarked P-3 that I saw landing at Love earlier this week.

There are few places on the web talking about it...hehe

Here she is...

Hmmm...kinda quiet here, but I'll add my 15 cents.

I've been trying to devote more time to spotting DAL, haven't done the parking garages yet but usually move up and down Shorecrest Drive (esp if I have the kids with me, they can feed the birds and I can shoot), use George Coker Circle or the parking lot of the Frontiers of Flight.

Last week caught a Coast Guard HU-25A Guardian on short final. Not sure what it was doing at DAL.
