Hey,
A simple search on the google will do the trick
I’d recommend Founders Plaza.
Enjoy!

I will be flying through DFW on Sunday! When will you be there, maybe you can spot me
There’s a parking lot on Construction Road. It’s only good for mornings as it’s backlit in the afternoon/evening.
Just past the two bridges, there’s a right turn. Take that turn, and go up in front of the cemetery. This location is only good in the afternoon for southbound departures only.
@Aviation360 @BadPlane you must have an actual camera with at least a 55-250mm lens to be able to take decent shots from this location
That’s really all of the known spots for the west side.
Actually, I’ve got a spot, but I’m not sure airport ops will let you stay there. I’ll DM you it.
If you’re at Founder’s Plaza, I would suggest walking through the grass up by the fence here:
The aircraft on final are pretty close and you can get a shot like this:

Ok, i really want lighting behind we for the morning heavies like the JAL 789. I was going to use express parking north for the morning but the winds didn’t cooperate.

I thought of that but the 35’s will be in use not the 16’s. We can continue in a DM.
There’s no 16s at DFW. I’ll draw a diagram of runway usage.
Red is landings.
Green is takeoffs.
Red/Green arrows indicate certain directional usage.
