my next flight, LAX OGG LAX, was my last jetliner flight due to age 60 mandatory retirement.
This is some truly breathtaking footage of Carrizo Gorge! Very different perspective from the locomotive cab ride videos that I filmed through here several years back.
Well done! The 7-5 was made for this.
Did you guys ever land on 09?? I know it rarely happens
2:05 pull up pull up watch that parkade lol
This is cool to watch! Thanks for the upload.
Being it was the Captain's last flight, I hope he got the fire hose treatment!
yes i did, at LAX on my last flite. I have a photo but i guess i can't post it as a reply to your comment.
Did notice one thing though that is very concerning. The pilot on the left never scans for traffic left or right. PSA 182 went down several years ago after being hit by a Cessna. Also there is a Coast Guard air station just to the left of the airport on the approach as well as traffic form the Coronado Navel air station just southwest of the airport. Lots of potential for an accident and all pilots should be scanning for any aircraft that may not be accounted for. There were two Cessna related to the PSA 182 disaster but the pilots were not aware of the second one by ATC and they did not see the second one.
EVERY local pilot knows about PSA 182. Nobody else (besides airlines and cargo) flies anywhere near that approach anymore. Also, in 1978 on that day, the sky was very smoggy. Local air traffic was harder to spot due to pollution. Now it's pretty apparent when there is local air traffic.
Is there any back story to this? The pilots shook hands and blah blah blah? maybe this was the end of the run with Delta/757 at Fun Diego but who knows... LONG LIVE THE STARLIGHT BOWL
Flew into San Diego from Chicago back in May. Got off the place and was curbside in minutes and then right to the marina and downtown area for something to eat. O'Hare is giant and dwarfs SD. They do a good job considering its size and number of passengers and flights but San Diego International was refreshing. Only saw the corner of that parking garage as we touched down and thought it was a bad idea.
What airline is it
Delta
Congratulations Captain on a job well done and the rest of your time now belongs to your family!✈️✈️✈️✈️👍👏🏻😀
Ive never liked landing there.
Very Cool!
I should've went into the airforce I have an obsession over big airliners
Best occupation in the world! Excellent video.
X Navy ABH and Fighter jet Jock at work !
See that white parking garage , uses to be blue !
I watched another landing video before seeing this one just now and loved the song they played, "Creed - Weathered"... So, I watched this video but, muted it so I could hear the song lol. Anywho... I got emotional thinking of how many flights I've been on and have always been grateful that the pilots get us to and fro safely but, I felt even more gratitude looking at the back of the pilots and watching them guide this plane into this amazing city. I hope that you are enjoying retirement and I'm sending you a personal "Thank you". I'm sure you miss the job in many ways but, hopefully you're doing other things you love now too. Blessings ♥
Why would they build that parking lot right there...of all places?
who was the idiot that permitted the construction of a six-story parking structure right in the way of the final approach of the air field!
There is still plenty of clearance.
As long as you don't fly in as low as these guys!
You are flying down the hills so the parking garage isn't as much of an issue as it would seem, because the airport sits in a bowl, of sorts. When you are driving on I-5, which is overflown just before the runway, the planes do look low, but when seeing them from a few hundred feet down the road, it's apparent if a plane were in danger of hitting the garage, that would likely be the least of their concerns.
Michael Bailey not true. The parking garage is of big concern to all large aircraft. So much so that certain heavy' aren't even allowed to land at night and under limited visibility. The threshold was displaced some 1000 ft down the runway shortening up an already too short runway. Not a single pilot who flies in here regularly would complain if it was torn down. On approach you cannot see the departure end clearly, the result being that almost all approaches end up a little high which just makes the runway that much shorter. Because of the height of the structure and its proximity to landing aircraft people are not allowed to loiter on the top floor. This parking garage is evidence of what is wrong with local politics, and politicians getting kickbacks.
@@efoxxok7478 And if you will check my reply, it makes no reference to heavy or supers. I was mearly commenting on what risk the parking garage poses to aircraft with respect to what seems to be observed from the ground. I can't recount the times I've heard the parking garage is "the" major concern when countless commercial pilot videos focus far more on the terrain and I can visually see their landing clearance over the structure. The garage issue is usually referred to in an "oh, yeah that thing is there, too" manner. Most concern themselves with the stepdown issues associated with terrain. If the terrain wasn't an issue along with the short runway, which is further complicated by the displaced threshold, heavy's would have no problem taking off and landing at SAN. It's just easier to blame a building than terrain.
good luck on your retirement and be happy!
Good landing
Congrats on the retirement Capt. Sit back and enjoy those beautiful beaches. Old Navy guy here who lived in San Diego. Must have flown into that airport 100 times over the years. I flew American a lot, you may have been our skipper. Again, congrats and get the party started.
Very cool video! Cant wait to be landing there soon!
ol' 27
I was back in San Diego again August 18th to August 23rd 2015 and recorded the take off's and landings.
Interesting how the terrain slopes down before the runway. Looks like you have to dance across the rooftops on that approach.
Mr A's
Not an easy airport to land
+robertk2007 You should have lived at 25th & A Street and tried to sleep during the day. Those things sounded like they were gonna land right in the living room. 4 great years spent in the Navy out there. Great city.
John Wayne Orange County airport is not much better because the runway is just a little under 5800 feet!
My father was a captain. The mandatory retirement rule was controversial when instigated, more so now. Pilots are in better condition. Airports are safer and experience plays such an important role. I know a lot probably want to retire, but it shouldn't be mandatory. A yearly medical should take care of it with mandatory moved to at least 67.
The mandatory retirement age is set for a purpose. SAFETY!!! The airline industry doesn't need incompetent idiots trying to give a uneducated opinion about increasing it. The only place a 67 year old should be is on the ground or a passenger in a passenger seat.
Awesome
Was this a ILS landing ?
No, its not allowed. VFR Approach starting at 4000 ft.
Nice landing you two. Your expertise on the flight deck will be missed. I looked for footage after seeing an episode of Air Disasters and how tricky this approach and landing was. Sure would not want a couple of kids up front.
Hi I am back I wrote the comment below 3 months ago. I want to say that I flew into San Diego Monday Sept 22nd and then flew back to Chicago Midway Monday Sept 29th 2014. I video taped the landings and take offs and some videos inbetween. Some videos will be up twice since I will connect videos too. But I want to say that now that I video taped the landing into San Diego its even more fascinating to see this landing from the pilots view.
WOW SO COOL! I will be landing in San Diego in September and I will think of the pilots, they do a great job. Also its good you taped this so you have something to hang onto and show people.
My pop and grandpop were aviation buffs but they never flew. Feet on the ground, terra firma, was their motto. I washed out of the army warrant officer chopper pilot program in early '65 after seven months in s. Alabama. My brother was a forest service smokejumper for nine seasons, ending in 1975. He earned a certificate for never being injured. My folks were always worried, esp. during takeoffs and landings. That was his most tense time, not fighting the flames.
Nice landing! Who was the genius that put a parking garage at the front of the runway? lol
That would be the "greedy" City of San Diego...............
City Hall..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Not sure who, but It has become a popular spot for plane spotting
That parking garage doesn't matter..its dead space anyway for landings
@@MildGuts what garage is it?
If I could I would be captain till I couldn't pass physical inspection!
I know this video is a few years old, but nonetheless, congrats on your retirement, Captain! I wish the age of retirement was not set at 60---I prefer seeing bald or grey-haired men at the controls. It tells me we've got experience on the flight deck!
Hope that you're enjoying your retirement, Captain! Greetings from flight school!
Home base!!!!!
.... and a peach of a landing too! Spot on!
No; the computerized voice is more lifelike...and tells more truth!
Thanks for sharing! What was the flight crew setting in the MCP prior to the landing? Go around speed/altitude?
doesnt matter, its visual approach...
Looks like American. I could be wrong though
anywhere beyond the threshold is fine ^^ pilots are sometimes asked to land on the numbers
there are literally thousands of pilots at an airline. It's very easy for a pilot to retire after 20 years of service and never fly with the same pilot twice.
Outstanding!
That parking garage, right before the runway, is visually daunting.
Is that Al Gore giving the altitude?
