I’ve had an infinite amount of memories there, it’s not even funny. Hopefully, when this Covid-bullcrap at least cools down immensely, it can be to a point where I could visit there almost on a yearly basis once again.
I love San Diego airport. Landed there on commercial flights. Worked at Rees-Stealy Medical clinic before it was Sharp Rees-Stealy. Watched the planes approach the landing. One window faced east so I could see the planes approach. The clinic was just before the highway next to the airport approach. It was awesome. I loved it. Nice to see this now again, as a senior, and saving the YT video. Friends used to have coffee at the restaurant near the airport where they had speaker boxes on the table. We could hear the captain speaking to the air control tower as he approached. For me that was fun. As a kid, we lived near an airport in Rancho Boyeros, Cuba where I was raised. I've had friends who flew small planes and made trips with them-only 3 friends actually plus my stepdad. We had some awesome trips in his Cessna 180. I got to see and feel what it was like to fly and land a small plane with his guidance, of course. Plus even at 16 I was too short to reach the rudder pedals. LOL.
I lived 60 years in San Diego, and California so I recognized ALL the spots! I love it - takes me on vacation again for FREE - without the hastle of flying...70 years ago was a different world. I've lived in Arizona the past decade and hate it, but land and house are now OWNED, no mortgage, have an orchard, and San Diego is an easy 5-hour drive away, back the same night in bed late, with only a tank or two of gas spent. Thanks for doing this video - I'll be watching it again and again when I miss Cali...
I recently went to San Diego for vacation from Chicago it was a long flight and we got there at like 11:00 PM (local time) but seeing it at day is just Spectacular!!!
Incredible video thank you. All the beautiful sites and the distance included from Marin County to San Diego in one video. The best I've seen on an approach. Thanks for sharing this.
When I was a student at SDSU we used to LOVE watching landings from downtown vantage points; but, they seemed so much steeper! Still very beautiful, this video!
This has got to be the most perfect landing video. Perfect film quality. At first I thought it was a simulator landing, it was do clear. I've never understood how SD operates with one runway. Especially in this day and age.
Tight scheduling. Departures fit in arrivals. Smaller aircraft then bigger airports. Really good weather. A lot of things add up and give the citizens and visitors of SD a good airport.
Land Marks! At 0:30 seconds, San Francisco half covered by fog, the 'Bay Bridge', Alameda Naval Air (closed) at dead center and to it's right, Oakland International. 1:00, San Fran Airport. 1:20, Moffat Naval Air Station. 2:00, San Jose, Cal. 4:00, Burbank to left of hill, the Valley to the right, I-5 is l-r in the middle. 4:40, Dana Point and its harbor. 8:15, Lower Otay Lake,
The burned out wreckage of an airliner the poster described is Asiana Airlines 214. It's hard to identify in the video , but it's to the left of runway 28L at the 1500' mark. There are two runways that go from upper right to lower left as shown at about 1:09. 28L is the one closer to the camera. The heaviest white mark on the runway is the threshold; the second (that looks like a couple of white dots) is 500 feet; the third (heavy white bars) is 1000 feet, and the white dots beyond that are 1500 feet. The plane is the white object slightly closer to the camera than the 1500 foot mark. Though the entire plane was destroyed, all but 3 of the 307 people on board the plane survived. Any number of deaths is terrible, but it could have been a lot worse.
lived in san diego my whole life. i can sometimes see the planes lining up for landings as they come in from the southeast so i'm somewhat familiar with the flight path, yet i really couldn't recognize anything until i saw the cemetery off imperial ave & 805 (starting @ 10:35 to 11:05). it's crazy how huge that place is! i never knew... anyway, great video. thanks for posting!
I like how during the last part of the landing, the buildings and streets remain the same distance below for a minute, because both the plane and the hill is descending downwards. Until the plane descends over the little flat land before the ocean which holds SIA.
I am going to spend the month of August house sitting and its a very elevated unobstructed view, You can see all the aircraft in the landing pattern going into the airport. Its really a million dollar view and very much looking forward to it. Great video, could see where the house is also on the video.
The approach to SAN has always freaked me out. All that build-out on hills that are barely 100 ft. below the glide path before hitting the runway. Very little margin for error.
Thx for the video. I've flown commercial in & out of there '63 to '66 while serving in the navy. Took a vacay there in 2009-- couldn't believe all the changes ; of course, 43 yrs. had passed. Yeah, that's a hairy ride coming in fm. the east.
They are a new air lines here in san because when united air lines move from terminal one two terminal 2 Alaska air lines took were united was them frontier air move to terminal one were Alaska was. then in terminal 2 JAL move were fronter was in terminal two
great approach/landing video, one of the best I've seen for San Diego. What camera did you use to film this and was it mounted to anything or just having a good stabilization system?
+Margaret Walker I know what you mean. While in the Navy my wife and I lived at 25th & A Street, you can see the brown U shaped building at 11:35, A Street only goes one more block. It did take time getting use to that noise. To beat all we had an earthquake a little after 2 am our first night there. I do miss the city though. I was on a carrier over at North Island. I can see just one in the video.
Frappacino _ from a distance yes,up close you'll notice the badly maintained streets and sidewalks.homes with no landscaping ,just dirt and weed frontyards..and worst of all,the homeless and beggars everywhere.
Very nice. Thank you. I must say it always frightened me to land in San Diego - felt like we were going to smash into an office bldg or parking garage.
I miss San Diego, it was home for my family, and I for 6 years. Unfortunately due to the high cost of living we decided to move to more affordable city.
Great video here..I can only guess at the 5:00 mark that is San Clemente in view..that's where I-5 breaks off from following the coast. And somewhere down there is Tricky Dick Nixon's old Western White House..
That's the 54. If you follow the freeway to the background, you can see the wide median that separates the east and west lanes past the 805 interchange.

Flying over San Diego when you're coming home is one of the best feelings
So true. Brings back memories of many times I flew into...home in San Diego.
Don Johnson
Don’t lie.
AMEN to that!!

Don Johnson IKR???
Excellent videography! No boring narration, no shaking, great focus, you are obviously a pro, I loved it! Good Job!!
its just on a stand mate
Whenever I come home to San Diego from wherever, on an airplane, I always like look out the window and see if I can recognize landmarks.
same! I always research some landmarks I can see along the way...
Same I live there too
Same , I saw Lincoln high school in this video when he was passing by National city 😂😂
😊nice
Hehe yep! Sit on the right side and at one point you're going to see the air and space museum and probably one or two people looking at you're plane

Everything was beautiful from the Coronado Bridge to Balboa Park

I moved to Las Vegas from OC three years ago. I miss California SOOOOOOO much.
Very nicely filmed! And thanks for not putting any music into it!
pepper669 ok
yeah great--no artificial annoying music in this--totally natural.☺✅
Do you still respond
VERY BEAUTIFUL!IN 6 weeks I will be flying and moving to San diego! I love this video. Thumbs up!!
Many blessings to you. My kid's have been begging me to move their
Awesome views of the California pacific coastline!
I recently went to San Diego for vacation from Chicago it was a long flight and we got there at like 11:00 PM (local time) but seeing it at day is just Spectacular!!!
Fantastic video. Beautiful view of San Diego skyline on a landing approach to the west.
Living near El Cajon I love seeing this plane fly past. The 787 appears much bigger than it looks on photos.
lol doesn't it?
Especially (at least now) when most aircraft you see are 737s or regional jets
Took a while to orient myself until I spotted el cajon, Otay Lake. Then cossing 805 Greenwood Cemetery.
Very, very well shot! Great to see my hometown of Los Angeles from cruising altitude.
Very, very nice especially, the JAL 787 Dreamliner!!!!
Incredible video thank you. All the beautiful sites and the distance included from Marin County to San Diego in one video. The best I've seen on an approach. Thanks for sharing this.
When I was a student at SDSU we used to LOVE watching landings from downtown vantage points; but, they seemed so much steeper! Still very beautiful, this video!
This is another really good effort getting all three major California coastal cities. Good job.
Used to train out of Gillespie Field. Brought back lots of good memories from flying around San Diego County.
Epic views starts at 11:40 minutes. Everything’s looks so awesome! Great video 👍
This has got to be the most perfect landing video. Perfect film quality. At first I thought it was a simulator landing, it was do clear. I've never understood how SD operates with one runway. Especially in this day and age.

Such an amazing video! Didn't really seem like you were up very high. I saw my neighborhood when you flew over the San Fernando Valley xD
Great vid. Excellent resolution. Must have had the cleanest jet window ever!
Gonna be thrilled to fly there from Atlanta for thanksgiving to see my cousins, just being generous here
Fred Fyre It's a brand new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The best there is.
This will be me in December!
Excellent video, I moving back to San Diego in 2016 love that city
I love looking down and seeing all the cars driving along because they look like tiny model cars driving on an track endlessly
Beautifully filmed! Well done. You were fortunate to have nice clear conditions and good light too - spectacular scenery.
Great footage, I love San Diego, loving seeing it from this angle
Absolutely beautiful city. I love San Diego and near by Tijuana 🇲🇽

thanx for this video since we never travel by plane & here can get a view of aerial travel.
nice video showing plane getting closer & closer to the ground-til landing--(has anybody seen♠?)
Very Nice!!
Welcome home, our beautiful San Diego. We still need more rain! LOL Great video.
lived in san diego my whole life. i can sometimes see the planes lining up for landings as they come in from the southeast so i'm somewhat familiar with the flight path, yet i really couldn't recognize anything until i saw the cemetery off imperial ave & 805 (starting @ 10:35 to 11:05). it's crazy how huge that place is! i never knew...
anyway, great video. thanks for posting!
Yeah I recognized the stadium at San Diego high and just started rewinding to make out the areas
AND DON'T FORGET MCRD SAN DIEGO!
Well done!! No talking just taking in the sounds and views great video!! 😁
I have never watched a very very very good video like this one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What an incredible video...........!!! Fantastic stuff !!

Beautiful video! I'm sure the little bug between the window panes enjoyed it as well, but he apparently died before final!
Absolutey adorable! Great job! Congratulations.
The approach to SAN has always freaked me out. All that build-out on hills that are barely 100 ft. below the glide path before hitting the runway. Very little margin for error.
How exciting is arriving and seen all from above!!! thanks
Thx for the video. I've flown commercial in & out of there '63 to '66 while serving in the navy. Took a vacay there in 2009-- couldn't believe all the changes ; of course, 43 yrs. had passed. Yeah, that's a hairy ride coming in fm. the east.
Very cool!!!! Love the clarity of the video!!
Great video thanks for sharing, really enjoyed 👍🏻
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, the weather was pretty clear.
That is a real nice video! I want to travel there soon.
wow what a beautiful view! god bless america~
Nice i didn't know they flew there, i can't wait to go on JAL in November and film the entire flight of around 9 hours :o)
They are a new air lines here in san because when united air lines move from terminal one two terminal 2 Alaska air lines took were united was them frontier air move to terminal one were Alaska was. then in terminal 2 JAL move were fronter was in terminal two
I actually get to see the land and city scape.Thank you.
great approach/landing video, one of the best I've seen for San Diego. What camera did you use to film this and was it mounted to anything or just having a good stabilization system?
the last half mile of that approach is epic, basically sliding down the tree tops down a long hill. the view from the ground is almost as epic
+T McGee Yes, and once or twice I was visiting friends in those houses below that steep approach and the noise was DEAFENING!
+Margaret Walker I know what you mean. While in the Navy my wife and I lived at 25th & A Street, you can see the brown U shaped building at 11:35, A Street only goes one more block. It did take time getting use to that noise. To beat all we had an earthquake a little after 2 am our first night there. I do miss the city though.
I was on a carrier over at North Island. I can see just one in the video.
Yes, Friend...but I love San Diego....flew in and out few times. Usually left from North County connecting to LAX...it's easier. Safer.
Totally miss San Diego; I have to get back there.
It's interesting how they have a lot of wide roads with no lines. I like it.
Beautiful video!
Awesome video.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
This video is amazing! Congratulations!
Born and raised in San Diego :)! Paradise Valley-skyline area.
Great video, my friend!
I can't wait to move to San Diego December ain't here soon enough can't wait!!
San Diego is a beautiful city
Dude it's so lit
Frappacino _ from a distance yes,up close you'll notice the badly maintained streets and sidewalks.homes with no landscaping ,just dirt and weed frontyards..and worst of all,the homeless and beggars everywhere.
@@frankavila8330 Not true at all 🙄
Wonderful video, also appreciate the natural sound only, but where are the last few seconds filmed?
Its taken from the gate at Narita Airport.
Nice video!
At 7:45 when flying by otay lakes you might see skydivers falling or under canopy during the weekends. Sometime during weekdays if they are open.
Excellent. Thanks.
I was excited to fly into San Diego for the first time, but then we ended up landing towards the east because of strong Santa Ana winds. So bummed!
Very nice. Thank you. I must say it always frightened me to land in San Diego - felt like we were going to smash into an office bldg or parking garage.
Never happened!
Outstanding 👍👍 subscribed
I miss San Diego, it was home for my family, and I for 6 years. Unfortunately due to the high cost of living we decided to move to more affordable city.
I'd like to live there but it does seem like it takes a six figure salary just to have the basic ( not luxurious) style of living.
Really good, thanks.
Wow, he landed pretty late. We have an extremely short runway.
The 787 is among the biggest at KSAN, the biggest plane there daily IIRC. BA has operated the 747 there a few times as well.
Great video here..I can only guess at the 5:00 mark that is San Clemente in view..that's where I-5 breaks off from following the coast. And somewhere down there is Tricky Dick Nixon's old Western White House..
Which camera did you use? its great quality!
That's cool. But why did the plane have to go to SFO before San Diego?
Excessive cabin wind and engine noise...what airline - JAL ? Very confusing without a directional map.
amazing sights
It's amazing that the airport is basically downtown. How do people there cope with the noise?
The airport was there first
I miss Diego!!
Wow what a video. Incredible
When you fly in from China to Los Angeles do you also make landfall over Marin and follow the same route over the Silicon Valley to LA?
Nice landing
What fwy is that @9:08? Is that the 15?
That's the 54. If you follow the freeway to the background, you can see the wide median that separates the east and west lanes past the 805 interchange.
What kind of canon is this camera?
What do you use to film with? its amazing!
its just a Canon pocket camera
oh ok! thanks!
What a view!
How full was the flight? How full was business class?
Very nice view
great video...
San Diego is the best city ever
10:40 balboa park
Feels like im really flying there.
was that first city san francisco and secoond L.A?
So you then flew over Los Gatos/Saratoga.
Doesn't get much better than that. :)
I live in San Diego so I’ve done this about 30 times
Why is it flying low over San Francisco?
I used a Canon s100 pocket camera. The shots were stabilised in software.
