Yep... great stuff!

Next time, ring them before you go spotting and ask for a nice variation of birds...  ;D And call DHL to challenge them for a race...  ;D

Willit, if you want to get a little closer to the planes, heres directions:
1. Get off I-95 at State Rt. 291, head towards airport.
2. Sharp left onto Enterprise Ave. along the GA Parking.
3. Right onto Fort Mifflin Rd.

Fort Mifflin Rd. goes under the approach to RWY 26, and curls around the airport. After passing Fort Mifflin, it turns into Hog Island road, which continues parralell to RWY 9R/27L, about 870ft from the Cargo Ramp. It continues past the emergency training center, crossing the approach to RWY 9R. Afterwards, it intersects with Tinicum Island Rd., which you can follow to Bartram Ave. by turning right. Left on Bartam, then right back onto 291/Industrial Hgwy, which turns into Penrose Ave. after the interchange with I-95.

Thanks Guys!! :)

  I've been to PHL a few times.  I stood on the walls of Fort Mifflin to get some shots.  I also go to the UPS terminal parking lot and get shots from there but, i have not been there in a while.  I will going on a roadtrip there soon.  I have a map of all the good spotting locations. :)
