Although most of you have never spotted in Houston, we definitely had some of the most unrated and best spots to take pictures of airplanes. Now, one of our best spots has been taken from us due to some idiot who drove throw the fence at Rankin Rd.
The lady drove through a metal gate to and crashed into a cessna while at it. She drove off after that. Due to her actions, they have completely closed the road for spotting. It’s a real shame to us down here in Houston, like @Matt737.
Maybe if you start a petition they will bring it back ;)
I think that something like a Spotting License should be created, of which would allow you into certain locations like these, to get such beautiful pictures.
No way on earth that will happen. We have already called the Houston Airport System and they have stated it’s a security issue. This is exactly what happened after 9/11 and they closed it for over a year.
This is George Bush right? I know there’s a dirt parking lot at the near RWY27 on Lee Rd. I don’t remember how well the views were but a place to check out when you’re hunting for a new spot.
That’s true. You don’t see heavies very often over there. Its just going to have to be a little bit of trial and error mission your you guys then. Figure out where’s best and what produces the best results without getting in trouble.
