Are there any Miami spotters on the IFC? If so, do you know the best spots to spot at MIA, and the runways which are used the most for heavy arrivals? I’ve looked at spotting guides, but I’d like to know from a Miami spotters POV.
Primary landing runways at MIA are 12 and 9. That is where the heavies come in as well. I’d say it’s split between both runways.
I’ve never been to MIA before, so I don’t have any insider spots, but a popular place to spot is at the end of NW 172 Ave by El Dorado furniture by the threshold of 9.
Hey! I spot down there sometimes :) Normally runway 9/27 is used but sometimes 12/30 is used. The best spots for 9/27 is a spot near the tracks called the El Dorado spot. There is also a restaurant that is pretty chill with spotters called the 98th Squardren. The spotting guides that you probably looked at has a lot of amazing spots. I’m more of an FLL local so for more info I would ask some of the dedicated Miami Spotters :) Hope that helped a bit.
