In which case you quote the law that they have no rights to move you off open or public land. Only once your on BAA property can they do something.

Precisely. On the grassy patch at Myrtle Avenue, you are at the heart of the action but using public land. Excellent views of arriving traffic on 27L. 😎

Becuase of BAAs pathetic attitude to spotters the security staff there are generally nice and understanding, unless you get a gung ho one that kicks you out of fields that don’t even belong to the BAA! 😡

If you go into the avis car park, and stand near the fences you can get some good shots of the threshold. Lots of touchdown shots 😉 The security guards don’t bother with you, we just stuck the boot up and sat in there. You’ll be looking at 09L and you can get some great shots of the terminal also 🙂

It was 107F yesterday here in Chino. Highest temperature of any city in the United States for the day.

We reached nearly 70F here in the UK a couple of days ago. Give it a few weeks and we’ll be hitting 80F! :p

Hopefully, I’ll be there as well. I get so angry when on one of my very few days off, everything is ruined by the weather! All the wonderful sunshine over the past week or so… and now this!

There is a park nearby you can stand. It is even better than the station actually as you will be facing sun behind, whereas at the station you are facing the sun head-on.
