Any other plane spotters here?
I've found a great place to stand that is off of their property yet, as you can see, provides some great vantage points.
This guy was running along an ILS gantry I was standing under.

I tried photographing airplanes taking off and landing last year and no sooner did I get my tripod set up, a security guard came by and told me to pack up. That pilots didn't want to be coming in and seeing someone set up with something that could be something other than a camera.
What lens are you using on these?
The sort of beige form on the right is an ILS gantry I was standing under, pic below.
I shot these with the Canon 100-400 II.
I know what you mean about getting run off. That's always a concern. I don't use a tripod so maybe that attracted some attention to you.
Her is one I took on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago.......
Festina lente!
It seems like the shots are from the movie Transformers. 
I'll make a suggestion to you if I may.......when shooting screw driven planes, set your shutter to around 160 or so. Using a high shutter speed with this type of plane freezes the props and makes for kind of an odd look.....a plane in the air without the propellers turning.
Just an example...
