Return to Florida 2015 Day 12 Tuesday 1st December 2015

[davidallum]

As the weather forecast was looking good (another one they got wrong) we decided to spend the day at Miami,one of the main reasons for this is that from the Thursday until the Sunday during the first week of December is a massive Art exhibition in Miami called Art Basel which attracts visitors from around the world,when the normal biz parking area is full,they then park aircraft in cargo and the maintainence areas and if they get full,aircraft are ferried to places like Opa Locka,then Tamiami and even Fort Lauderdale.Anyway we left Fort Lauderdale in sunshine but by the time we had parked by the Eldorado furniture shop by the threshold of one of the runways the heavens opened and we were treated to a torrential downpour,I felt sorry for this guy who was taking photos as he got absolutely soaked,turns out he was German who had arrived the night before and was on his first ever trip to the states,welcome to the Sunshine State mate,anyway on with the log:

Morning Bob,

If they are landing from the west,at the threshold of the southern runway there is a store which sells furniture called El Dorado,the road which runs past their store is now a dead end and there is ample room to park cars,from here you get a great view of landing aircraft on this runway and also departures although these are very few and far between,it tends to be Cargo flights only and the daily Lufthansa A380.I know that BA and AF send their A380's in but these tend to arrive after dark.The thing to remember at this location is DO NOT park in the El Dorado car park,they will call the police and have your car impounded as well.Between the two Northern runways there is also a diagonal runway and the fence which runs parallel to this has doughnut holes installed,ideal for photography,this spot is great also for the landing/departing biz jets,the downside is that you can only see landing aircraft on the southern runway once it has vacated the runway.
