If you plan on visiting Phoneix, or any of the nearby storage airports, then I can’t reccommend this link enough:
www.visitingphx.com
It is run by spotters at Phoneix and covers all the comings and goings, news, and latest photos.
What is also invaluable is the lists of aircraft currently stored at places like Goodyear, Chandler etc – often updated daily, so you’ll know how accurate it is when you plan on visiting.

I just came across a great website for the spotting community around New York City. It has guides and maps to all the main airports there, and many other interesting and useful bits of information.
The site is: www.nycaviation.com

Are you planning on going to Tampa for the Superbowl? If so, you’ll be in for a treat with the hundreds of biz movements expected, on top of the usual airliners and good weather.
The official stance on spotters at Tampa for the Superbowl is that you’re welcome to be there! What a refreshing change! Here are the rules, kindly provided for all you spotters by Mike Greenway via Geoff Cook:
Spotters are encouraged to congregate on the roof of the economy car park on the south side of the airport. This offers fantastic views over the ramps where all the biz jets will be, and also has views of other movements.The car park costs $9 a day to use, and has toilet facilities, and a free shuttle to the terminal.
If you are attending, you are encouraged to contact Community Relations Coordinator Kelly Figley on KFigley@TampaAirport.com, with names and your passport or driving license number, who will pass on the details to the police.
As an extra note, aircraft are expected to stop flying during the game. Any arrivals after this time are likely to use nearby St. Petersburg airport, so you may wish to head over there for some more spotting.

Newquay Airport in Cornwall will be closed from today until at least the 19th December. This is following the closure of the military side of the airport.
Newquay Airport’s code is now EGHQ (formerly EGDG).
Flights by Ryanair, Flybe and Air Southwest are thus cancelled until the airport re-opens (in the case of Ryanair – until 11 January).
Air Southwest have entered an agreement to fly Ryanair passengers from Plymouth to London Gatwick.
