      Years ago I landed the other direction on that runway, which is 1R (usually used for takeoffs.) But that was in a small Metroliner. I couldn’t even figure out where we were going until the pilot made a sharp right turn low over the hills and down to the runway. That was quite the experience.

      Landing on 19L is very common (anytime a front is passing the Bay Area).
      Landing on the 10's is rare, landing on 1R is even rarer!
      In 40 years of Airline flying (and was based in SFO for a while) I have only gone to 01R for landing once.

      During the Battle of Santa Cruz on October 26, 1942, Hornet was attacked by Japanese aircraft whilst her carrier aircraft where returning from damaging the Japanese carrier Shokaku. Despite U.S. destroyers trying to scuttle her, she remained afloat until sunk by torpedoes from Japanese submarines the following day. In late January 2019, research vessel Petrel found the remains of Hornet in the South Pacific near the Solomon Islands.
      The Hornet you see here came after and did recover the Apollo crew. My dad was on a destroyer in that carrier group.

Then In 2022 I did a lot of cruises out of Pier 27 to Mexico and Alaska and sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. Very cool to have driven over, sailed under, and flown over the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Thank you for the great video. It brought back a few SFO landings, including two on 19L. The first was during an intense rainstorm with epic turbulence, a real white knuckle landing; the second on a clear moonlit night. Couldn't see anything until we descended through about 1000' during the storm but the views during the night landing were truly breathtaking. 😮

    19R/L into SFO is one of the best landings. The route loops around SF, over the GG Bridge, around Treasure Island, over Emeryville, around OAK before landing in SFO. Half expected the stewardess' to give a minute-by-minute commentary. I've landed on 19R/L only once in all the years of flying. It's a treat. Can understand why the noise of planes flying over residential areas make this a rarity.

      My very first airplane flight was from SeaTac to SF back in the mid-70's. I was positively terrified even though I grew up in the shadow of an AFB and planes/jets and all flew over our family home quite low. The first 747 flight was low and slow over our home (the Boeing plant was on the other end of the runway next door). So lots of watching experience but no flying. The gentleman sitting next to me, a Boeing engineer, could see I was upset and very kindly talked me through the take-off and landing. I'll never forget that man - his kindness made my subsequent flights (not many) much less harrowing. (Nice to see the Transamerica Building from the sky - my dad was part of the crew that installed the windows when the building was under construction.)

You missed the Hornet which is docked at Alameda Point and has been for as long as I remember. It was part of the 1995 celebration of the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII and opened as a museum ship in August 1998.

      We lived in the San Bruno hills for a year in the mid 70s. Planes landing on 10R would pass right over our apartment, often so low that we could see passengers in the aircraft windows. Jumbo jet flyovers literally shook the apartment. Our parakeet never adapted to those landings; Reuben the Birthday Bird was VERY thankful that landings on 10R were fairly rare! 🛬

    Not only is a 19L landing rare, doing so with clear weather is even less common. Usually theres's some big weather system blowing strong winds from the south, along with precipitation and cloud cover. First time I ever saw a plane take this route over the city, I was pretty concerned since it didn't follow any patterns I had seen before haha

    Nice view of Yuba Buena Island and Treasure Island. I spent 6 years on Treasure Island (plus 2 more living in Naval Housing while attending ADCOP at Foothill College) while serving in the Navy in the 60s and 70s. CWO4 USN Ret.

    Tbh, I hate flying into SFO, but I love seeing this video.

      Me too! I use Sacramento mostly and Oakland only if I have to. SFO only when I’m flying to Toronto to visit family.

    Love the videos! New sub! I love the ATC in the background it’s hard to find videos with that these days. And at first the video almost looked like MSFS😂 and the sound is perfect👌Keep up the great work!

    Never landed that way at SFO. Usually this approach would interfere with OAK traffic but they must have been landing differently that day as well.

    I landed on that runway in a storm recently but never on a day like this one

    Very cool. It wasn't this date, but I saw the Cathay Pacific flight that was diverted to OAK abort their landing attempt from the ground.

    Awesome! Starting at :40 in the video you can see Pillar Point and Mavericks surf break.
