I spent 6 months in San Diego on a software project for Solar Turbine in the late 90's. I had an apartment on the hill between the I-5 and Balboa Park. I was right under the approach and not more than 3/4 of a mile from runway 27. It was scary as hell seeing how low the aircraft were at that point.
Very nice! I landed in San Diego for the first time (just on a little ol' 737) 5-1/2 months ago, but I was sitting on the left...now I got to see what the view is like from the right side!! 🙂
I’ve never flown into San Diego. Or at least I don’t remember. I didn’t know that the airport is big enough for 767s. Great vid as always. I’m flying to Honolulu soon from John Wayne. I’m excited especially the takeoff view form Honolulu.
Yup. It's only got one runway but it can handle the 330, 77W, 787 & the 747 (which British used to send before they retired them). It's a tiny airport but the runway is long enough for wide bodies.
The runway is big enough for west departures. Departures to the east are rare but are extremely load limited due to engine out climb profiles. I'm sure you noticed the terrain to the east on the approach- that's the limit.
The best planes i have ever flown is l1011 and 767 awesome jets 767 was one of boings best creation i love the 47 but huge jeta always ha v e to much turbulance
Engineering at its finest. That piece in the middle is called the flaperon and is a hybrid control surface. Half aileron, half flap. Thanks for watching!
@@sla31 I love trivia like this. I went looking all over the internet for images saying what these “flaperons” are. Couldn’t find anything. Saves me a trip to SeaTac’s Boeing headquarters to get the direct answer…
So, the seats I select are done for a reason. And I definitely agree the other side would provide better views on this flight. However, the cameras I use are very susceptible to overheating. It is the downside of filming at such a high quality. Filming at that level creates a lot of heat. If I sit on the same side of the plane as the sun, my camera will overheat within 10 to 15 minutes. That is unfortunately the side with the better views on this route. See, the heat from the sun beating directly on the camera is magnified on an airplane since you are looking through a double paned window. As I’m sure you know, if you’ve ever sat on the hard light side of an aircraft, your shoulder will get extremely hot if the sun is beating through the window. This is why most of my flights to San Diego are filmed from the right side of the aircraft. Unless you’re flying in from Hawaii, you are flying in from the east, which means the sun is always going to be on the left side of the aircraft. Of course he sun is always on the south side based on US’s geographic location in the northern hemisphere. It’s a bit of a science picking seats that will provide good flights, but also won’t cause my camera to overheat .
The right wing flaperon needs to be adjusted to match the flaps in the slipstream, otherwise it's unnecessary drag for the aircraft. I bet you the one on the left wing also needs adjustment.
I assume the reversers were probably deployed, but it didn't sound like any power was actually applied. A great landing for a 767 at SAN. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely the stupidest location for an airport in the United States. One of the largest cities in the country with am airport sized for a large town and placed in line with hills. Its like they tried to find the spot most obnoxious to land.

At 17:15 you flew over Balboa Naval Hospital, I was born there.
The approach into San Diego always looks so amazing. The low-passing by of houses and freeways is really scenic
Reminds me of the early days of Tempelhof, Berlin. The planes would weave in between apartment buildings and such before touching down.
That aqueduct at Balboa Park is really cool...

It definitely provides a stunning view though! Thanks for watching my friend!
Can't go wrong with those wonderful views of San Diego! Awesome vid!
Greaser of a landing .... especially for a 767-400, and in San Diego as well!
Definitely. Thanks for watching my friend!
Stunning is an understatement. Very much enjoyed. That parking garage if it is still there is the best view point in the lower 48.
it is
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

Very well done job i always see all video's of yours after watching this I can explore the cloud and four corners of the world thanks
I few to San Diego about two weeks ago nice airport!!! Cool videos thank you!!!
Amazing flare!!😍

Such a smooth landing
Looking nice..
I like seeing the downtown city area there as you are flying into San Diego.
Awesome work, as always, my friend. I’ve got a new route for you that I can guarantee no one has done.
Thanks my friend. That route is definitely on my radar now!
Stunning as always 👍✈️

Interesting how the inboard and outboard flaps clear the little trim tab between them when they are lowered prior to landing…

in my opinion the view on the left side of the plane on that approach is better, you can see the downtown area, coronado bridge, etc.

Let's see if we can't max those flaps out one more inch, they are just barely holding on to the wing !!! Drops the gear at 14:50
The right wing flaperon needs to be adjusted to match the flaps in the slipstream, otherwise it's unnecessary drag for the aircraft. I bet you the one on the left wing also needs adjustment.
No reverse thrust?
Awesome video!

Great fly! Have you heard JetBlue is going hostile after they were rejected by Spirit takeover?
I have. I hope they're successful. I'd much rather have a much larger JetBlue than a much larger Spirit haha.
Hi skylite, how are you doing todays adventure?
Absolutely the stupidest location for an airport in the United States. One of the largest cities in the country with am airport sized for a large town and placed in line with hills. Its like they tried to find the spot most obnoxious to land.
It was there before most of the buildings were built
