I was thinking about taking my camera down to Midway airport soon. Anybody done this before and have a few tips/ideas they could share?

Thanks!!

I have only had luck shooting from the parking garage in the remote lot. Not sure if you would want to pay to shoot up there and you need something pretty long to get decent shots.

I prefer O'Hare as there are quite a few spots to shoot at. See this page from a local forum on spots to shoot. They come right overhead on Beeline and Devon can yeild some nice takeoff or landing shots.
