RARE! Oakland International Airport Plane Spotting

A rare look at OAK, Oakland California International Airport. There are not too many good vantage points to view airplanes taking off and landing. The best time is when the weather is bad and the winds come from the South, the planes then land and takeoff in the opposite direction than they usually do. This makes it possible to video the landings up close.

I flew a Norwegian B787 Dreamliner from Oslo to Oakland awesome trip i loved it

[@mooseofspruce]

Pretty cool, I haven't seen as many spotting videos at OAK.

The 787 flights happen at lease one or more per day at Oakland. Rarest you’ll get is a 777 British Airways that I saw passing my house on radar inbound for oakland.

i did see an antwonov 124 this month at okland

[@brandondougherty1158]

BA does not fly to Oakland, no one does really

[@JJPLAUTZ]

Great shots and great video!!!!

[@aviationinc9524]

Just went to this spot, but did the land somehow get taller? For some reason you can’t see the runway and the planes gear from the exact spot anymore

[@MoulfritProd]

Not sure I understand your question, but the planes land on runway 12 only when the weather is bad and the winds come from a Southerly direction. Otherwise they land on the other end (runway 30).

[@aviationinc9524]

@@MoulfritProd yes, I only really spot when runway 12 is in operation. I believe they haven’t trimmed the grass since atleast 4 years ago because now the grass facing the spot has overgrown, tower over the gear of the planes from normal perspectives

[@suyashgoel4110]

They fly to Oslo too

[@nor.calspotter]

What camera did you use

[@MoulfritProd]

Canon 70D

[@lukeball-hymns3360]

great video

[@piphastings6734]

Well done sir...and thanks so much for the suggestions on where to spot! I have not gotten out there yet so thank you. Let me know what you think of my videos?

[@nor.calspotter]

What was your plane spotting location or the coordinate of the location

[@MoulfritProd]

South Loop Road, Alameda. Have fun!

[@CyberQuidam]

Great vid!

[@mad71994]

i know because on the flight board at the airport it has one flight from london gatwick airport on that airline

[@Dutchgguy1]

Norwegian flies from Oakland, to Oslo, Stockholm, London Gatwick, Barcelona, Copenhagen and wil start up to Paris and Rome during 2018.

[@rayjenkins4391]

That plane in the first one sounded like the one in gta 5

[@fuhkangliao1]

What a great video! Would you mind sharing the location?

[@MoulfritProd]

Several locations but mostly on a parking lot by the end of the main runway.

[@dustyfireworks585]

How old are those FedEx planes, you see a lot of those red nose planes cuz Oakland is a cheaper airport to fly into in comparison to sfo.

[@firepvp4968]

i saw an antwonov 124 at oakland

[@mad71994]

i know that the norwegian flight is coming from london gatwick airport

[@martintheiss743]

KRNO almost had a Gatwick flight however the Homeland Security investigation showed the modifications they would have to make to our terminal would be too massive to be cost effective.

[@firepvp4968]

a 787 seen at Oakland is not rare!

[@MoulfritProd]

Maybe. But a plane spotting video shot at Oakland is!

[@wcwn3632]

Apples and Oranges (plane spotting vs. seeing 787s)

[@firepvp4968]
