At 2:06-2:15 the buildings and pool to the right is Balboa Naval Hospital. I’m stationed there rn and live in the barracks. The planes fly past literally every 2-3 minutes 24/7 and they fly so close I can see the bolts on the belly of the plane. It’s constant and it’s so loud that it’s a literal hell.
When I was stationed there in 1977-78 I remember the aircraft flying directly over our barracks and the hospital. I was there when a private aircraft hit a PSA plane causing both to crash. Horrific!
Yes that parking garage is absurd. 60 min. had a piece on the danger of it's placement many years ago. This video shows the danger quite well. I have been on a commercial jet flight that landed at night. I was biting my nails until we were safely on the ground. You pilots, regularly flying into SD, are tops! Stay safe.
The parking garage is such a problem that the first 1,800 feet of the runway is unusable. Someone obviously was on something when it was agreed to build a parking garage there.
Thanks for posting. One of the most clear video on this subjugate to date. I could see where my family and I went to church. Unfortunately the apartment where we lived at has been replaced with a bigger one. it was an excellent place for plane spotting. One late afternoon I even saw the Super-guppy coming in for a landing. Too bad we didn't have movie camera to film that and other landings as well.
something cool about this approach is that the circular building that planes fly over (at 2:20 in the video) is San Diego's Air and Space Museum, brilliant location planning
And right next to it (in front of it in this video) is the Starlight Bowl where they have plays. When a plane comes in for a landing, the director hits a red light and all the actors freeze. Even if they are in the middle of a sentence they stop there, and when the director gives the green light they pick up right where they left off. They do not go back to the beginning of the sentence. If it is musical and they are in the middle of a song/dance, then the actors keep on going. It is a unique experience.
Ah yes, that wonderful parking garage. I remember when the builders/developers informed the FAA what they were planning on building and the FAA came back with “we don’t think it’s a good idea to build the garage there”. The builders/developers said thanks but we’re going to build it anyway. The rest is history.
I flew on seaport airlines from El centro to San Diego before they went under and got the same view since it was a small Cessna caravan, I was the only passenger on the plane. .. It was a pretty fun $39 flight. Mokulele replaced seaport, but there's no longer flights to San Diego, it now goes to LAX, I did that flight as well and spent the time at LAX watching the big planes land from in-n-out before flying back a few hours later
I remember being out and around SAN as a little kid when i when go down to SD from Fresno in tje summer to visit my grandpa and he worked for PSA and then us air. Always like SD airport and thought it was crazy they only had 1 runway. No real other great place to build another airport
Almost 20 years ago, I remember driving down, with my family, to the San Diego Zoo for the first time and saw this Southwestern coming down to land on the freeway. Man, I was scared out of my wits. I thought the aircraft was about to crash, and I screamed out loud -- without knowing that I was. That's how close it seemed it was to the freeway!!! My wife hasn't stopped teasing me about it.
Looks like a bit of crosswind from the right on this approach but really just another day at the office. Surprisingly perhaps to most folks, the famous parking garage on short final is actually not the critical obstruction when approaching Rwy27. The safe glide path and location of the landing threshold for this 'non-precision' approach procedure is dictated by the hills a little farther east of the airport. All potentially dangerous terrain and other obstructions lie at or below an imaginary sloped surface leading like a ramp to the displaced landing threshold. No worries but still exciting to do and to observe!
Thanks: rode American Airlines jets into KSAN numerous times as a boy, of course that meant a side-view of the landing. I was curious about the pilot's-eye view.
I've talked to pilots about it, if your going to hit it your not going to miss the other stuff anyway. They worry more about the restrictions on departure.
@fxdb2011 the parking garage and the area around needs to go. San diego will have around 10 wide bodies in a day when the new t1 is finished. And did I mention that sometimes san diego uses 09 which takes off towards the garage, and for wide bodies its not safe.
@@sharonrose7938 Just drive up there. It will cost you 10$ but you will have you AC, drinks and peace :) I was a local for few years, love spotting and that's what i did every time
Many years ago when the Navy moved out of Miramar--remember "Top Gun?"--the city had a chance to get that airport. However, the Marines at the base in Orange County moved into Miramar. Our representatives did not seem to have enough guts to have the Marines stay in Orange County. (After all these years, that land in Orange County is just one huge, barren piece of empty land. Orange County cannot decide what to do with it. ) One complaint against Miramar was from the people who live in La Jolla, to the west. They complained that the passenger jets would be too loud. I worked in the Miramar area for 20 years. When our soldiers returned from over seas, they were flown in a jet liner. The jet liners are quieter by far than the military jets. The one advantage is that there is a lot of empty land around Miramar. If the city took over it, you can bet that the land around it would now be filled in with all kinds of development. Interstate 15 which runs through the land would have way worse traffic than it does now.
Flaps Flyer- Although I understand the "Please comment anything about the type of plane of airline/carrier." comment that you have- it's INFINITY percent wrong of you to deny people access all over the world for people like me for wanting to know the type of plane or airline/carrier. So what IS the airline and type of plane?- and EVERYONE will NOT criticize you for posting the airline/aircraft type information for this video GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most likely their company policy that they don't allow phones/cameras turned on in the cockpit in flight. So won't add any info that could make him identifiable.

The paint job gave it away. Thanks for the memory of what I did hundreds of time at that airline.

I used to work there as a civilian and live in town.

Love watching those come in when driving that stretch of freeway. Thank you!

@KrosanBeast315 hopefully it is removed cuz we need to use the runway
@@San17_ British Airways flown their 747s a few years back, don’t think they had any problem and heavies fly there still to this day
@@San17_unless that’s what you mean…
i miss landing in San diego ! such a nice point of view everytime !

They never got permission for the structure. I sent a letter to the FAA a few months ago and they are going to take another look
It's too bad that the city didn't just take that parcel over under eminent domain law before the structure was built.
I've always wanted to see from that view. So cool! Thanks for sharing.
The new flight sim looks realistic af!

You'r welcome and thanks for watching :)

Buzzing "Little Italy" before touching down.
Nice video, charming town!

wish i had this view when landing, would help with my anxiety
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I love the view.
That is one sketchy approach. Kudos to pilots flying in and out of here.
Done that landing a good few times, but only in the passenger cabin...14 weeks till we do it again...:)
Awesome video! I like it:-)
That parking structure is disaster waiting to happen!
I've talked to pilots about it, if your going to hit it your not going to miss the other stuff anyway. They worry more about the restrictions on departure.
That parking deck has been there over 40+ years!
How about 727 and Cessna???

Landings and takeoffs in San Diego are the best.
Beautiful city
Could someone explain to me why you would build a parking garage on short final? I really don't get it.
@c1rcu1tn3rd Well sure, thats why the park, the zoo, all the other parks and open space. LA is after thought.
Some San Diego politician took a bribe.
Awesome video!! :)
Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed!
Who was the moron do decide to put a parking structure there right at the start of the runway.
cool... that parking garage on short final must go...
best place in America for plane spotting
except they dont let you...they have security that wont let you go up top and watch....ive gone several times, every time, kicked out
I just asked nicely and they let me.
@@KevinBasher I'll go and ask really really nicely. Everyone told me not to bother but gotta try.
@@sharonrose7938 Just drive up there. It will cost you 10$ but you will have you AC, drinks and peace :) I was a local for few years, love spotting and that's what i did every time
Watch that parkade 2:45
Nice!
nice ... in one moment I thought, it is simulator, when the fps was realitevely low :) ...
PSA. RIP.
I grew up in San Diego. PSA went down my first week of college. I remember seeing the black smoke and wondering "what's burning?" So sad.
Pardon my ignorance, but does this airport only have one runway?
Yup
Bay to its left, Marine Corps land to its right. It has no where to go.
Yes. And a flight takes off or land every 80 seconds.
Many years ago when the Navy moved out of Miramar--remember "Top Gun?"--the city had a chance to get that airport. However, the Marines at the base in Orange County moved into Miramar. Our representatives did not seem to have enough guts to have the Marines stay in Orange County. (After all these years, that land in Orange County is just one huge, barren piece of empty land.

definitely could be southwest with that blue nose even a 737!
This guy needs to update his computer he's getting low fps

The airline is called acme airlines
The airplane is a mono winged turbofan powered aircraft
It's a Southwest Airlines 737 series aircraft. I can tell this is Southwest because of the blue paint.
