RDU Airport Observation Deck

This is some thing you don't see everyday... especially with all that tight security at airports! It's an Observation deck open to the public for FREE! The RDU airport did a great job in making this place. It has a deck over looking one of the major takeoff and landing strips, you can hear ACTUAL conversations from the control tower to the pilots, there are picnic tables, a playground for kids, and information pillars all around for a little edu tlc. We enjoyed our cool Sunday evening watching planes take off against the setting sun, and I recommend this spot to any one looking for something a little different; whether you know your planes or not :)
