- last modified on June 1, 2023
The airport of Oklahoma City is named after the local personality, Will Rogers. It is the busiest airport of the state of Oklahoma and handeld almost 4 Mio passengers back in 2022. Almost all major US carriers flying in and out of OKC. A National Guard Base is located on the northern side of the the field.
| General Information | |
| Terminal | There is one terminal with a total of 23 gates. |
| Runway | The airport has four runways. The two big parallel runways 17L/35R and 17R/35L are most time in use. 13/31 is the crosswind ruwnay, used during strong winds. 18/36 is the shortest one and not really in use. |
| Terminal Hourly Parking Garage | |
|---|---|
| WHERE | Drive to the airport and follow the signs to the “Hourly” parking garage. The first hour is free of charge, every further hour is 1 USD. This garage is a bit lower hence walk to the garage behind you which is higher. Now positioning yourself either on the east or on the west side. |
| WHAT | In general you can see all movements of the airport. For photography it is great for the taxiway movements to and from the runway. The eastern runway and taxiway is a bit closer than the western one. (AS 737 and AA taken from the west side, all others from the east) |
| TIME | Morning hours best for the west side, afternoon for the east side. Be aware of heat distortion, especially planes on the runway. |
| MISC. | Terminal is just around the corner where all amenities can be found. |
| FOCAL LENGTH | 300mm – 400mm DL 717 = 270mm; AA 738 = 400mm, UA E170 = 450mm |

I can send more OKC spots. The parking garage has recently been stalked by OKC security, and there are simply better locations.
