Spectacular San Diego Airport Landing

Japan Airlines flight to San Diego. Crossing the Pacific, landfall is made at Marin County. Continuing towards the south over San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and downtown. Following San Francisco Bay past the airport - the burnt out wreckage of a crashed airliner lies by a runway. Overflying Silicon Valley and San Jose. The San Andreas Fault at Parkfield. Flyby Sawmill Mountain. Across The San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. Beverly Hills, Hollywood and downtown. Out to sea briefly and descent at Dana Point, then San Clemente, turning inland past Gillepsie Field and suburbs to line-up with the runway over the Sweetwater reservoir, then straight in to touch-down at San Diego airport.

Flying over San Diego when you're coming home is one of the best feelings

Whenever I come home to San Diego from wherever, on an airplane, I always like look out the window and see if I can recognize landmarks.

Everything was beautiful from the Coronado Bridge to Balboa Park

Excellent videography! No boring narration, no shaking, great focus, you are obviously a pro, I loved it! Good Job!!

I lived 60 years in San Diego, and California so I recognized ALL the spots! I love it - takes me on vacation again for FREE - without the hastle of flying...70 years ago was a different world. I've lived in Arizona the past decade and hate it, but land and house are now OWNED, no mortgage, have an orchard, and San Diego is an easy 5-hour drive away, back the same night in bed late, with only a tank or two of gas spent. Thanks for doing this video - I'll be watching it again and again when I miss Cali...

I love San Diego airport. Landed there on commercial flights. Worked at Rees-Stealy Medical clinic before it was Sharp Rees-Stealy. Watched the planes approach the landing. One window faced east so I could see the planes approach. The clinic was just before the highway next to the airport approach. It was awesome. I loved it. Nice to see this now again, as a senior, and saving the YT video. Friends used to have coffee at the restaurant near the airport where they had speaker boxes on the table. We could hear the captain speaking to the air control tower as he approached. For me that was fun.

Took a while to orient myself until I spotted el cajon, Otay Lake. Then cossing 805 Greenwood Cemetery.

[@minakoa7178]

Living near El Cajon I love seeing this plane fly past. The 787 appears much bigger than it looks on photos.

I recently went to San Diego for vacation from Chicago it was a long flight and we got there at like 11:00 PM (local time) but seeing it at day is just Spectacular!!!

[@pickledpenguinspickingpepp2084]

I love looking down and seeing all the cars driving along because they look like tiny model cars driving on an track endlessly

[@roddraym]

Very, very nice especially, the JAL 787 Dreamliner!!!!

[@Bikerdog1948]

Fantastic video. Beautiful view of San Diego skyline on a landing approach to the west.

[@howardzinko3190]

Incredible video thank you. All the beautiful sites and the distance included from Marin County to San Diego in one video. The best I've seen on an approach. Thanks for sharing this.

This will be me in December! <3 So incredibly excited to see San Diego!

[@bombaytaxidriver]

Beautifully filmed! Well done. You were fortunate to have nice clear conditions and good light too - spectacular scenery.

This has got to be the most perfect landing video. Perfect film quality. At first I thought it was a simulator landing, it was do clear. I've never understood how SD operates with one runway. Especially in this day and age.
