Is there any easy, clear places to shoot from if I wanted to drive up for a few shots if I am in the area?

Are you taling about 40th St? Or are you interested in the terminals? Let me know if your ever in town we can take you around.
Would love to Jason,  but will be with the wife so if I get any shots it will be probably just a drive by for 10-20 mins if I can work it into our travels.  Didn't know if there are any spot like our (Imperial Hill or In-N-Out) where you can park for free for a bit and has easy access.  That hill in the middle of the city, can you get any nice distant shots from there of PHX?

Was just out there a couple weeks ago for spring training.  Forget the hill in teh middle of the city, unless you have a telescope with a camera attachment.  Go to 40th St.  My wife was with me as well, and she wouldn't go to the airport for even 20 minutes.  She likes to sleep in, so I got up around 630a and was at the airport before sunrise at 650a.  Shot for just about an hour and was back at hotel by 800am as wife was waking up.

Not only do I do aviation photographs, I do emergency vehicle photographs. Currently I am with a group in the Tucson/Phoenix area getting photos. Phoenix FD was kind enough to take us out to Sky Harbor yesterday. While at the South Side Crash Station waiting for the rigs to return, I shot a few aircraft. Since the station is next to a taxiway, I got some real closeups.
