Took a flight in this wonderful bird on a trip from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. Landing was almost pitch black, I guess there was no moon out! So here are a few from departure. C&C welcome!

Hmm indeed, what 'serious work' does the repaint need? Im not a NWA expert but kinda looks ok to me?

Nice shots - the sun in the first is brilliant and the angle and general look of the third is great!

If you like flying out of KSAN a lot have a serious look at Fly Tampas KSAN - its top notch for the approach over the car park!!!

Certainly one of my favorite approaches Cheesy

Ive been trying to find screenshots of that package, but havent really seen any. But then again... maybe Im not looking in the right place! I used to live in San Diego, so I am very familiar with the approach! Very fun approach, and departure due to the steep ascent from takeoff! Really get pushed into your seat!

If you cant find any, and no one else posts any, ill do a few later.... Cheesy

I dont know if 747's fly in and out of KSAN (there appears to be only one 'heavy' gate) but its a challenge to get one in on the 'carpark' approach' and come to a stop before you 'fall in the sea' Grin

They dont very often, but I have seen on several occasions a British Airways 747 coming into KSAN. What a site that is! Not something you seen often there!
