text: Waynes world party time excelllllentttttreorrr reorrr reorrrr was going through my head when my friend told me about the airport overlook I pictured us laying on the hood of my car as those massive planes roared overhead and we would have to stop talking for that moment since it would be so loud we could not hear nnWell it was actually nothing like that yet just as cool as if it were I moved to Charlotte a couple of months ago and I was pretty sad to leave my friends and family My friend being the awesome person that he is decided to cheer me up and bring me to one of his fave locations that never failed to put a smile on his face At first I was thinking this could not possibly help to turn my frown upside down har har But I was wrong As we drove into the gravel parking lot I noticed people parked all over just staring at the runway nnWe parked the car and headed to one of the benches that faced the runway It was a really cool view The runways in themselves are neat to see that close up and then throw in the Charlotte skyline as a backdrop Where was my camera when I needed it You could get some GREAT shots down there nnAs we sat on that rickety old bench I was transformed back to my youth I easily could have been compare to that kid in a candy store quote I waited for the different sized planes to come down the runway and take off right in front of me It was the neatest sound and feeling and it melted my worries for that hour or so while we were there It is not far from my home and it is just a really unique way to see things I am usually sitting ON the plane not on the ground hearing the wheels snatch up from their last seconds on the pavement nnAwesome place and best of all it is FREE Take your camera and just enjoy It is worth spending some time there
