Plane Spotting In Flagstaff

Flagstaff is a pretty good place for plane spotting, even though it's a small airport. We have frequent military visitors due to the airport's high altitude. It's a good place to practice. We see C-17s, C-130s, F/A-18 E/F/Gs, F-35s, and a variety of helicopters several times throughout the year. Civilian aircraft are mostly confined to regional jets and business jets. But it's actually pretty good considering the population of Flagstaff, the relative remoteness, and the lack of a military base.
