Default Planespotting the Freight Terminal

Does anyone know of any location where you can see the freight terminal? I think it would be quite interesting to see the cargo planes loading / unloading.

As far as I can remember, it's not visible from the Rydges observation deck, and it used to be visible from the old international terminal observation deck which is now closed.

Cheers.

Have you tried from the Tempe Dog Park? From memory, you may need a ladder to get a higher view, but it is a good spot to see that part of the operations from..

This is the full panorama from the Rydges "Dreamliner Room" deck, and you can see further left than the UPS MD-11, across the freight terminal to the city.
