just moved to san diego from LA..... the skyline is very underwhelming. you can't even see the skyline of DTSD from 2 miles away lol. Wouldn't call it underrated at all, plus most of the buildings that make up the skyline are hideous.
@@larrymee1484 San Diego has a nice skyline. Grand Hyatt Towers, Marriott Marquis, Coronado Bridge, all that water.... Downtown is like at or below sea level so you can't see it from all the hills and obstructions.
I’ve made this landing SO many times in the 8 years I lived in SD. Just wanted to share some fun time stamps: 2:30 my old neighborhood! 5:00 the US Naval Station with the Pacific fleet 6:14 Laurel St. airport parking garage literally feet below the aircraft. Park on the top floor if you want to get buzzed by jets. 7:00 in the old days this is when everyone starts unbuckling their seatbelts and taking their luggage out from overhead bins, lol
@@therealworld7351 on vacation for a week. I stayed at a hotel in Chula Vista. Chula Vista, Imperial Beach & Downtown San Diego has changed a lot. I couldn't believe it.
I’m an aircraft mechanic for SWA and just wanted to say great video and thanks for flying with us. I’m visiting SD for the first time tomorrow and wanted to see what the approach to the airport looked like.👍🏻

San Diego skyline has changed a lot since my last visits (2003 and 2004). 6:10 - 6:15 The area just south of County Center/Little Italy trolley stop. What the heck? I'm willing to bet my socks (my best pair of British Airways amenity kit socks) that half of those buildings were NOT there before 2005. Jokes aside, this city has grown. The old ABC blocks (Ash St, W Beech St, and W Cedar St) are more like Broadway now with so many tall residential buildings, offices and whatnot. It's hard to tell where downtown ends and Little Italy begins. Sooner or later, the airport will have to be relocated. I'm going to miss it. I used to go planespotting in Balboa Park. Great location for a picnic and some birdwatching (Speedbird AKA British Airways).
When I was on holiday in San diego many years ago it sounded like the planes were so close to the tops of the trolley cars that you sometimes wondered if the landing gear would clear the trolley
Bigtop Theclown what i found very interesting when i landed there is that the runway is actually shorter than most. when you land, its a very harsh one. definitely freaked me out a bit, as i was flying alone.
Double-panned windows. One of my friends rented an apartment on Hawthorne St directly underneath the flight path. It was hella loud with the windows open, but tolerable when closed.
It’s background noise of a different kind, I guess. I used to work at Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical (now torn down) along Harbor Blvd, right next to SAN. I’d sit on a bench, separated from the runway by just a regular wire fence, and study for school - with earplugs and noise-blocking headphones of course. The planes taxied, took off and landed directly in front of me, say at a 90 degree angle and I was able to ignore them. Occasionally I’d look up as a plane would taxi and I’d wave to the pilots or the passengers, just close enough to make them out. The noise is much more noticeable if I’m “under” or “behind” the plane, say the Hawthorne St neighborhood on approach or at takeoff. Otherwise at work it was just part of the noise blocked by larger manufacturing buildings most of the time. The only time it would startle us is if a plane had to abort a landing. Its airpath led straight over the main road within TRA and this plane would suddenly appear with screaming engines as it pulled up, low enough to see rivets, following the road briefly and leaving some jet fuel as well. You clapped your hands over your ears and tried not to take deep breaths. Of course, all the aerospace engineers around me would analyze how the plane was holding up under that stress. I live close to the airport, and it’s still background noise for me for the most part, except when large cargo or say the BA large plane takes off and rattles my old house’s windows. Or maybe I’ve just gone a bit deaf after all these years!
It sucks that the airport would be built right next to the city center, the skyscrapers heights are restricted due aircraft flying less than a mile away, san diego couldve had a stunning skyline if the airport wasnt right next to it
San Diego has a really underrated skyline
I like san Francisco's more

In the old days you didn't catch covid.
San Diego no doubt is one of the USA's best vacation spot. Probably even better living their.
There are worse places to live.
It’s great living in San Diego. I lived there from 1987 to 1997. I’ll be going back there in 2021.
@@voocowell3170 so did you go back yet?

The ambient conversations are always the best.
Cool video!
This was my airport back in the day, rode a lotta Boeing 727 PSA & Western airlines in/out of SD.
I can't wait get home for the holidays. I'll be landing on Tuesday ❤️
❤️LOVE MY HOME TOWN SD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL 🤩 PLACE IN THE WORLD 🌎😍#1
Nice,👍I love San Diego
SW corner of Balboa Park, on the declining hill, I'd spend hours watching the incoming traffic. Cool memories
When I was on holiday in San diego many years ago it sounded like the planes were so close to the tops of the trolley cars that you sometimes wondered if the landing gear would clear the trolley
I get to see this for the first time in August late at night! I bet that’ll look cool as hell, too!
Love these san diego landinfs
🛫5:37 is the 5 Fwy. South. Very Interesting, thanks for sharing the views...Navy base, so nice!🛬...on-time.🕜...
I’m fascinated with flights!
Loved the video
Ok
Loved yo mama
Awesome Video. I have never flown into San Diego. Wow!!
Bigtop Theclown what i found very interesting when i landed there is that the runway is actually shorter than most. when you land, its a very harsh one. definitely freaked me out a bit, as i was flying alone.
Excellent video
Ok
I have landed in San Diego dozens of times. It always looks like you're going to crash into building until you're over the runway.
Awesome video man
😃i saw my neighborhood not far from the airport!
Tough, tricky landing over that hill right at the threshold...
San Francisco has the best landing view
Great video! Very pretty skyline! Where did this flight originate?
you can almost jump off the plane onto the buildings, early let off anyone??? lol
Ok
It's amazing that the airport is basically downtown. How do people there cope with the noise?

Ok
I have my own video I made of this landing, it looks exactly like this one.
Ok

The airport was there long before most of the skyline built up.
The San Diego skyline is stunning, pal
The airport was built in 1927. Long before downtown was much of anything. Everything grew up around it
I was maybe on that flight
Ok
Southwest
the airport literally can't expand. should've turned Miramar into civilian airport ages ago.
