The best part is right when you're heading on the 5 and the plane swooshes down from the East or if you see it around Balboa/Harbor going 5 North and wonder if you're going to make to the spot where it will swoosh over you haha.
So clear pictures that you can see the wake turbulences/vortices behind most landing planes + moving to the side and downwards , what you usually see only in moist air, but here so see it like this. Amazing!
This is hands down the best RUclips video quality I have ever seen and I’m not sure why? Says HDR but I didn’t know it would effect that way it looks just makes the colors look bright and accurate.
Amazing video--Thank You! I am wondering if I could drive over to Laurel parking garage and ask to park on top for an hour or so to watch the planes. Would they let me for the right price? I figured every aviation fan would harass them to do this and that they probably would say no. Am I wrong? Or maybe certain times of day or season? I've wanted to do that since moving here 4 years ago.
Yes of course!!. During the pandemic the parking lot has been much emptier than before. I’m pretty sure now they are letting people park there to spot. The top level is actually cheaper so you pay the whole day for 12 dollars!. But I didn’t tell the person in the front that we were there to spot. We just made a different excuse
I did some planespotting at this garage a few years ago. Video can't convey just how close the planes feel. I was lucky enough to be there just when a British Airways 747 was landing- it was awesome but unexpectedly scary to see such a massive plane coming at you so low.
@@socalaviation3004 That would be so awesome! I've been here for a month with Flightradar24 alerts for a 747 and haven't seen one yet. I would plan my whole day around that lol.
Growing up my parents would take members to watch planes land. Usually you were allowed to film on top of this parking structure. Cool view of the slight crosswind there!
@@socalaviation3004 At some structures they won't allow it. For example Laurel Parking has signs that says not to film and can be arrested for trespassing. Not sure if it's a deterrent for everyone, if you know what I mean ;).
@@socalaviation3004 Cool. I'm glad I found your channel. One other really cool thing I noticed on the San Diego video is the visual air distortions on the right side of the image from either the heat exhaust or vortices or maybe a combination of both as they are getting closer to landing on the runway.
Having flown into San Diego International Airport several times, I miss going a very good cafe restaurant there to have fish tacos for lunch and dinner.
Well I’ve heard lots of people that live there have complained before about hearing the planes at night. So they implemented a noise limit after 11:30pm. Personally if I live there I wouldn’t mind the engine noise
I looked at an Apt when I was new to SD, that was at the top of those hills in pt Loma. I remember the owner of the house,said she had special curtains to block the noise. The sound of those planes flying over was more than I felt I could take. So I declined the apt.
You can certainly see why the piano keys and touchdown area is positioned so far down the runway, pretty amazing how high you can stand so close to the start of the runway! Interesting how when you look straight down a runway they look shorter than what they actually are.
@@socalaviation3004 i live near to leeds/bradford airport, its runway is shorter at 2250metres with the piano keys set around 300-400 metres in so can be tight for the widebodies
A good airport to consider in the area is SNA in Irvine. It’s a small airport, smaller than SAN, so it’s very quick and easy to deal with. There’s never a line at security, and getting to the terminals is faster than SAN.
Great coverage! They all land in that same area, so i wonder how often they have to re-surface it? Any reason why none of the aircraft land before the crosswalk?
Hmm do you record it with the phone sideways? Because Mose of the time when I record it off of iMovie and post it when most of the clips are from me holding it upwards and it doesent come out the best
That first plane the southwest 737 800 takeoff was super steep. At least it seemed like it. I have done some planespotting a lot and sometimes i feel like southwest does some steep takeoffs.
Were you known as”Mr Pineapple” in 2019? If so we used to fly together in infinite flight and chat in NZ1S’s chat. it’s been awhile, miss those times a lot.
I have always heard that San Diego has a pretty dangerous airport because of buildings and stuff like that to land but the airport looks pretty nice though
In high school we would go down to the airport and park at start of runway and watch the planes take off and land. Can’t do that anymore. A fence is there to keep you from watching.

@@socalaviation3004A350 sounds awesome! I've flown on the 777-200, -300, and the 747 to San Diego. A350 would make up for the loss of the 747 (which I enjoyed most of the three).

Living in SD I always wondered what it's like living in Point Loma, the end of the runway?
Well I’ve heard lots of people that live there have complained before about hearing the planes at night. So they implemented a noise limit after 11:30pm. Personally if I live there I wouldn’t mind the engine noise
@@socalaviation3004 Departing airplanes also throttle down as they go over the neighborhood then throttle back up

People living there have a thing they call "the Point Loma pause". Mostly to do with making a phone call, and mostly directly under the flight line.
@@Rufus_West ohh hahaha I’ve never heard of that actually
5:03 It was awesome watching the aircraft wake propagate through the air. Your videos always seem to have that little extra something.

You can certainly see why the piano keys and touchdown area is positioned so far down the runway, pretty amazing how high you can stand so close to the start of the runway! Interesting how when you look straight down a runway they look shorter than what they actually are.

That runway looks very short, lol. Is it just the angle or is it actually shorter than most runways?
No San Diego actually has a pretty short runway lol
It’s a pretty short runway.
I live in Escondido and would like to know where this spot is. I usually end up driving to LAX.

@@aviationhub5667 lmaoo
Great coverage! They all land in that same area, so i wonder how often they have to re-surface it? Any reason why none of the aircraft land before the crosswalk?
It's because of the angle of descent for the planes landing. Area before the "crosswalk" is called a displaced threshold.
That’s a displaced threshold. Aircraft are not allowed to land before it.
Was it easy to go inside the parking ?
It was easy. You just need to pay 12 dollars after leaving the parking. Or sometimes they only charge you 5 bucks if your there for only 2-3 hours
@@socalaviation3004 Even if I'm on foot ? (I'm only 16 I don't have a car)
@@feurzer Yes if they let you enter on foot I’m sure you still have to pay. But I could be wrong
@@feurzer there’s is a person at the front guarding the parking so ask if you can

Super cool great jkb
Thank you!
Was getting gas at that Shell station. Knew I was at the end of the runway. Still had the shit scared out of me as a plane came in landing.
Where is your spotting location for SAN is it the yellow parking garage?
Yep the Laurel Parking Lot!
Is that lot Public or is it paid? It’s inside the airport??
@@agustinbauza3612 you have to pay 10 bucks for the whole day. And no it’s not inside the airport, it’s behind the airport
You can see the wingtip vortices (not the vapor) because it’s 4K, really cool.
Thanks. New video coming out soon
5:19 that was cool
Woo boo! One more month and I’ll be landing in SD for a weekend getaway! It’s been three years since my last visit (dang Covid).

I have always heard that San Diego has a pretty dangerous airport because of buildings and stuff like that to land but the airport looks pretty nice though
