{4K} [FULL FLIGHT] Tucson (TUS) - San Francisco (SFO) - SkyWest Airlines - Mitsubishi CRJ-701ER - v8

That United blue winglet looks good. I love the CRJ-700 for the window height and extra space but -200s are fun because they feel more raw, tiny and lower to the ground like a business jet

The approach at the end is always the most interesting approach into SFO. I stayed at the Embassy Suites once just south of the Airport when I was on a business trip out of Phoenix to our San Mateo HQ. When I lived in Napa, I flew in and out of SFO on average once a week, coming or going, for five years until I moved to Phoenix and continued my business travel from that airport.
My offices, one on the east coast, one in Phoenix and one in SFO did not care where I lived as long as it was an hour or less from a major airport, since I was on call when trips were not on my schedule.
When living in Napa, I only flew out of Sacramento once, when I was called at seven AM in the morning and asked if I could get to Gaylord Michigan, via Sacramento, ORD, and Pellston, before midnight. So I had to jump in my car half an hour later, drive to Sacramento, so I could get to O'Hare and connect by puddle jumper across Lake Michigan to Pellston.
I was visiting my folks in Napa, and after I accepted the call and hung up, my Mom grinned and said "You should not have accepted the call--that is why you are stuck spending the next fourteen hours going to MIchigan".
I enjoy your videos because they remind me of those days of free travel during my career as a jetsetter. Every two or three trips I got a day or two off to visit national parks, or local sites (the latter I did especially when on overseas trips, on domestic trips I went for national parks and museums).
My favorite place to connect thru, especially traveling from Phoenix, was Salt Lake City because the trip offered a flight over the Grand Canyon. I tried to schedule my Delta connection so I'd be over the canyon just after sunrise or before sunset, even if I knew my layover would be longer in SLC, which I did not mind because I preferred long layovers if not non-stop so I would never miss a connecting flight home. I always booked window seats so I could rest during the flight, especially on trans oceanic flights.
I have flown since five years old in '66--those flights were on PSA between Burbank, Los Angeles going to Oakland or San Francisco--the only time I'd fly with both my parents and brothers. When I became a father, I enjoyed giving my daughter the same memory--flying her to Disneyworld when she was just five, she learned to fly all her life, going overseas at age 21 the first time last year.
She wants to follow in my footsteps and my Dad and her Mom's, her Mom being a former airline office agent, as a business traveler after she gets her Masters in two years.
Being Nomads has always been in my families blood, as it seems in your blood, lol.
