What Are Some UNIQUE, But Simple Free Activities In Your Area? Here in the Charlotte area, one is a very nice airport overlook on a bluff beside one of the main runways. It's free and you can park and watch from your vehicle or get out and sit on benches. There's a tree-shaded picnic area. At the sitting area, there are informational plaques describing the different planes with photos that is very interesting. Aviation enthusiasts love going out to take pictures/video. Charlotte's airport is very busy, so there's always plenty to see. It stays open until about 10:30 at night. It's really, really nice. My parents brought my brothers and me when we were kids in the 1960's/70's. We would took our children when they were little (now young adults 21-25). We'll take our granddaughter when she gets a little older. People of all ages visit. If I have some time to kill and I'm out that way, I'll grab a bite, sit in the car with my windows down, and watch the planes. Very relaxing........Look forward to everyone's responses.
