Naples Airport (FL) to open an observation deck!
Great news - an US airport opens an observation gallery! Lets hope other airports follow suit! I think the majority of aviation enthusiasts understand the need for safety and security, but beyond the aviation communtity, there is a lot of interest in aircraft. (Witness the crowds for Air Force One, or an A380!). How many people inside the industry did so because parents took them to the local drome?

Or maybe Boeing don't want spotters because it gives visual eveidence as to how ridiculously behind schedule their planes are. Or maybe they didn't want people taking photographs of the upper management taking bribes from Chicago officials.
Boeing closed their observation deck? Well, at least now I know who to root for (Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier) when it comes to new orders. Let's hope Boeing, it's CEO and its union workers take it in the shorts, wallet and right in the face. No need for spotting at Boeing Field if they planes they make/sell fall precipitously. They will get their karma.
CYHZ has great observation deck with elevator service to main departure area. It is glassed in but offers spectacular views of entire airport with exception of Regional Jet gates. This airport wins awards for service, efficiency and passenger convenience every year. If you think back to 9-11 YHZ and the people of Halifax hosted 40 trans Atlantic aircraft and 7500 passengers who were fed and housed by the community. Many return regularly to enjoy the Nova Scotia hospitality (and great beer).

Always nice to see observation decks being opened. I agree with Jeff P. KBWI has the Tom Dixon Observation area and is well worth the visit. I have been there several times.
Dixon Observation Area at KBWI just off Dorsey Rd is a nice place as well. Great park for the kids as well as right on the cycling/walking path that surrounds the airport.
