One of my best IAH memories is of an American Eagle Saab on final with a BA 747 doing swooping S turns behind it trying to keep from having to go around.

As before, please follow the guidelines below, and make sure you don't leave trash behind.
Please park your vehicles on the asphalt surface, not in the grass.
Please use the established call-in procedures to advise the Airport Communication Center (ACC) of your presence at the location, this would be calling 281-230-1300 and advising that you are at the Rankin Road spotting location.
Please do not climb or approach the perimeter fence.
As in all situations, use common sense and safety precautions to maintain the safety and security of yourself and your possessions.
Keep in mind that this location can become heavily used during periods of construction at IAH.
As with the other spotting locations, please report suspicious activities to the ACC at the phone number listed above.
