Hi CJ and others,

What are the spotting/photo opportunities like at Homestead? Unfortunately there is no Airfield Guide available so any info is welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

Stand here (https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWZZPjnnLLyBmfhz7?g_st=ic) and you’ll have a view of the sunshelters and the runway. Photos are easy. Walk back and to the right for the easterly arrivals.

Great landing shots with about 200 mm at the spot mentioned above.

I also took some TO pictures pretty close to John To Go on S Allapattah Rd, but lots of mm required. On the plus side, various F-16s were banking to the right

Good luck.
