How About A Little Ice Hockey With Your Plane-Spotting?
We love airplanes, you love airplanes, so let's go look at airplanes! In our Prime Plane Spotting series, we'll let you in on all the best spots to whip out your cameras and binoculars for a piece of the aviation action.
Next up in our burgeoning series of Prime Planespotting Locations, we take you to the city of Chicago, where United Airlines rules the skies and it's easy to watch most takeoff and landings at O'Hare Airport from the comfort of the ground.
Actually, it's the comfort of a parking lot; Allstate Arena, which hosts ice hockey games and major concerts, sits just on the other side of the expressway from one of O'Hare's main runways. Parking in its lot during an event—the lot is closed if nothing is going on at Allstate—gets you as close as possible to the tarmac without being a threat to the flights.
