The traditional spotting/shooting spot is a dirt lot on the northwest corner of Ave N and Sierra Hwy.

Zoom to 400mm should do fine. That way you'll get it coming off the runway, then pull back as it comes overhead.

Thank you Alan. 
I'm currently working with a 300mm, you think that should be good enough or not?
