Spotting at NAS jacksonville

Post by nhoenich »

Through various threads I have established that the carpark at Target is a good location for number crunching at NAS Jacksonville.
Is this location suitable for photography of landing aircraft, or is photography not advised at all?
Many thanks

Photography from public property cannot be stopped. They will try but dont be intimidated.

Can that spot be used if they're landing from the west?

Not sure, they were heading the other way when we were there.

They might be too low, but there's only one way to find out.
