I did a search and found a thread from last year, but I'm hoping some TPA local spotters can help me out.

I have to drop somebody off for a flight next Sunday morning (7/20). I'll probably be there around 11:30 am. Since I live a couple hours away, I hardly ever get down that way. I thought I'd hang around a bit and try to get some pics. Where are the best locations where I hopefully won't get harassed. Last year's thread mentioned the roof of the short term lot, as well as Cypress Point Park. Are those still good areas?

Thanks in advance for your help...  Cool

In a word ..................YES



1.Short term
2.Long term
3.Economy Lot
4.Secret Fishing Hole
5.Raytheon
6.Icehouse
7.Northwest Business Park
8.Cypress Point Park
9.Bowling Alley

I have typed these in many threads, do a search.

1 & 2-the only problem would be if someone actually call on you. The cops will come check u out, and as long as you don't have warrants....you're fine.

Same for #3 if you're on the garage portion.

Thanks very much for your response. I'll probably go up on the short term garage, since I'll be parking there anyway to drop off my son. I'll be there a week from today around noon.

He's talking about the icehouse next to the old DL maint. hanger. I've always referred to this spot as DL Maint.

Ozell will roll his eyes at this.... but its this spot:

Do you still have that Google Earth file that shows the TPA locations? I followed the link in another thread, but it was dead.

Thanks.
