This isn't just a stream. It's a front-row seat to the nonstop story of flight.

About the stream

Built for people who can't help but look up.

TXPS Live was built for the people who hear an engine spool and immediately crane their neck skyward. Our cameras bring you crisp, uninterrupted views of arrivals, departures, and everything in between at some of Texas's busiest and most interesting airfields.

Enthusiasts love the detail. Newcomers love the spectacle. Everyone loves the moment a jet breaks the horizon.

Whether you're here to track a specific aircraft, unwind with the hum of turbofans, or just learn more about the world of aviation — you're in the right place.

What you're watching with
Long-range zoom
Catch tail numbers, liveries, and special visitors from distances that'd make your neck hurt in person.
High-definition streaming
You won't miss a landing light, a wingflex, or a reverse thrust plume. Every frame counts.
Strategic placement
Positioned for maximum visibility of taxiways, approaches, and departures — not just whatever's easiest to park at.

Waiting on Someone

Watching a loved one's flight come in from halfway across the world. There's something special about that.

✈️
Pilots & Students

Observing real-world operations, procedures, and the kind of situational awareness you can't get from a textbook.

👀
Curious Wanderers

Stumbled in, stayed for an A380 on final, now you can't leave. It happens more than you'd think.

Community & chat

You're welcome here — whatever your level.

Our chat is a mix of seasoned spotters, friendly hobbyists, and newcomers asking "what plane is that?" for the first time. It's a place to share knowledge, celebrate rare catches, and enjoy the thrill of aviation together.

Whether you can identify an aircraft by engine sound alone or you're still sorting out the difference between a 737 and an A320 — you belong here. Ask questions. Share what you know. That's how this works.

Where we spot

Know your airports.

We don't just point a camera at the sky. Here's what makes each location worth the drive.

KIAH
Houston, Texas
Home base

United's largest hub and the Gulf Coast's primary international gateway. Five runways, constant widebody traffic, and international departures running all day.

Runways5 active — including 12,001ft 15L/33R for the heavies
TrafficWidebody international, narrowbody domestic, cargo
Stream dayEvery Saturday · 2:00 PM CST
KAUS
Austin, Texas
Coming soon

Austin's fast-growing international airport with a great public park on the east side of 18L/36R. Solid terminal views and a relaxed pace that makes for a great change of scenery.

Best spotEast side park — fence line view of 18L/36R with terminal backdrop
TrafficNarrowbody domestic, some international, limited widebody
Stream dayOccasional — watch the schedule
The shorter runway keeps the heaviest aircraft away — but what you lose in widebody traffic you gain in a genuinely great terminal view on final.
