....wow, wow, wow...!! Very, very nice approach to SAN DIEGO. Tip, just lie back in the chair and enjoy :-) "GREAT!" .....and many greetings from Germany !

My mother and I flew this route in 1971. It was reversed, SAN to LAX. My uncle knew a short cut to the airport which made us late. The ground crew had to push the stairs back to the plane, it was an American 727. When we landed at LAX, my mom found our gate and shortly after, I found out the reason for us flying home from Los Angeles. As a surprise for me, my dad arranged for our return flight to be on a new American 747. I was so excited and didn’t think something that big could get into the air. There was even a cocktail lounge in the rear of coach with a full bar and bar tender. Club chairs and mushroom shaped chrome lamps finished everything off. Things were so much nicer then.

[@LAXTravels]

What an experience that must have been!!!!

[@Matterhorny]

LAX-SAN 747….oh the good ol days of commercial travel 😌👍

[@SpecificationR]

SoCal is so much more beautiful when it is green after a rainy winter.

[@rickster100100]

I flew this route many times. Once with a Delta L10-11. A beautiful aircraft.

[@RobMiami787]

Always fun to arrive SAN Never gets old Have done the route many times both ways PSA, including Bae146 DL

[@brettpatetto6847]

This reminds me of the PSA days. Form Burbank to San. Had tri jet service back then

[@rickster100100]

I remember those days, the Boeing 727!!

[@dr.a.995]

Now that was dependable shuttle service without the SWA cattle-call boarding

[@Vod-Kaknockers]

Stationed on the Kitty Hawk on NASNI from 82-85. Man I loved San Diego!

[@reubenmorris487]

I cruised on the John C. Stennis (CVN74) in 2001-2002 with Airwing 9.

[@userslickcrownvic]

Another NASNI alum here - my stint was from 67 to 70 with VS-21. Many good memories from those days on Coronado Island (tho I guess it's really a peninsula).

[@Vod-Kaknockers]

@@userslickcrownvic...Yes sir. And hitting the Silver Strand down to Imperial Beach.

[@maxon-m3c]

Back in the 60s I had an aunt that lived in San Diego. To visit we would take a United Boeing 720 from SFO to LAX then a piston popper DC-6 from LAX to SAN. That leg took about 45 minutes in the slower prop plane.

[@jimescobar1127]

Nice video, enjoyed the ATC all the way to the gate. Add takeoff if possible.

[@LAXTravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! I just posted the takeoff from LAX. The return takeoff from San Diego was posted a couple days ago. Enjoy!

[@cardiffchris]

I'm always so happy when I see San Diego under me, let's me know I'm almost home.

[@50buttfish]

During my fishing trips, I would stay at the end of the runway, on MCRD at the marina. Planes quit flying after 10PM, and the fireworks show from SeaWorld could be enjoyed. Even had a "Marine early rise call" on many occasions.

[@ppgwhereeverett4412]

At 0:25, that's MCAS Miramar under the wing ! I was stationed there in 1973 to '75 when it was Naval Air Station Miramar, VF-126, Fighting Seahawks !!

[@aaaht3810]

Yep. I noticed it too. Good views of 32nd St. Naval Station, Silver Strand, Coronado, and North Island too. Stationed in SD for four years.

[@Samson518]

Fly Navy!

[@ac2-rm141]

Saw an interesting jet today at F70, N50MG. Also notice yoy can fly from CLD to MMH via a Dornier 328. Thinking of trying that route round trip just to fly on the 328. Keep up the good videos.

[@urgetodrive]

It's hard to think of a more picturesque airport to land into. Has to be Top 3 on the planet.

[@jeremyyu7173]

San Diego Airport is good to fly into. Carlsbad to/from LAX would be as nice.

[@BpGregor]

I flew from LAX to SAN on a Delta L-1011. Great flight. Don't remember the date but do remember the great service on board. There also used to be a United flight from SFO to OAK, just across the Bay. Never took it, but a fellow Co-worker did to get a free one-way pass United was giving out after a long strike.

[@oubrioko]

6:37 Two aircraft carriers in port on *Piers J* & *L* at *_Naval Air Station North Island,_* while the *_USS Midway_*_ museum_ is visible at *_Navy Pier_* across the bay

[@timmyjones1921]

Awesome Views I've Flown SAN to LAX .

[@Len1966]

A couple of years ago, Fedex actually had a 757 flying from TIJ (Tijuana) to SAN every day. That's about 10 miles!

[@paulvincent3299]

Consider sitting BEHIND the wing so we can be entertained by the flaps, ailerons and speed brakes

[@reubenmorris487]

I'd love to have these pilot's job.

[@brettpatetto6847]

New York air was a money drain. I was with them for 1 years. Up to 10 trips a day. I was back home every night

[@Len1966]

A perfect view of the new Terminal-1 under construction.

[@0159ralph]

As a Navy vet I was a frequent flyer of PSA airlines out of San Diego. PSA Stood for Poor Sailor Airlines...

[@GFSwinger1693]

Certain missed approaches are longer than this.

[@brettpatetto6847]

that's actually worsted than Orlando to Atlanta!

[@FLG8r]

actual flight time = duration of the video ... LoL

[@brettpatetto6847]

My god! LAX TO SDA? Delta likes trashing there money,

[@oubrioko]

*_SDA_* is Shenandoah (Iowa) Municipal Airport

[@LAXTravels]

Completely sold out flight both ways though. I booked with points but the cheapest seat was like $450 roundtrip for basic economy.

[@brettpatetto6847]

@@oubrioko yes out of all people I can't believe I made that mindless mistake sorry

[@rickster100100]

@@LAXTravels this will make you cry. Back of the 70s when there were several airlines that had this segment to fly I flew American, United, Delta, National Airlines. And on one American Airlines flights I paid for first class ticket one way and it was about $8.60 if I recall. Yeah, that’s right, $8.60!! And I was 15 and I bought the ticket right at the counter. Very minimum security. Did not need ID. I knew my way around LAX and how to handle myself professionally as a traveler. As I had traveled overseas in domestically already, and I knew how to handle myself around an airport. First class on American Airlines is pretty nice nice drink that was class. Rumi cabin and a nice first class seat. You can’t expect that much for such a short flight. I did this a lot within California to San Francisco. I wanted to try new aircraft that I’ve never flown before. And different airlines. Got to fly a BAC-111 to San Francisco on Pacific Express. That was an interesting Aircraft. I did the same thing when I went back east in the summer of 1973. Flew different airlines and aircraft. My most exhilarating experience was flying an IL-62 from Montreal to JFK to the Pan Am Worldport. The 70s were great for flying. Oh, and systemwide across the United States and Canada, they had some thing called Youth Fares. For younger people. That was a great promotion to introducing people to travel by plane.

[@TenMinuteTrips]

Actually, SkyWest is a Delta Connection flight. Probably most of the people on the flight arrived at LAX from Atlanta, with San Diego as their final destination.
