On my limited experience I would try the multi-story car park in the centre of the airport. The top level is the obvious location but I found a level about half-way down to be better as the angles tended to be better.

With good optics you should be able to even read serials from the nose-wheel door on F-15s head-on.

Hope this helps.

It is public car-parking, costs a few dollars to park there for a short while. I don't know what the walk from the terminal(s) to the parking area is as I was driving in and out.

My guess is that it is pretty straight forward as the airport is not massive, as airports go!

Excellent view of ANG ramp (& preserved a/c) from level 7 (i.e. Top) of short term car park, if you have a car its $3.00 for an hour's parking

And when its quiet you can go down the lift to the terminal and get a coffee and something to eat.
