UPS' main distribution center for San Diego, is in Chula Vista. In or out from here, it goes through Chula Vista first. Not sure about FedEx. Would you consider Northbound on 4:21 PM on December 30th to be indicative of the usual traffic on the 5 or 805?

Sorry, meant the A-1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_A-1_Skyraider

With no traffic. Otay is right in between two of the top 3 border crossings in the US. I live here. Going North/South is much worse than East/West for the most part in San Diego. Again, there has been some discussion of moving more freight through SDM to take pressure off of SAN. However, the...

Yep, didn't realize it is that long, however, way too remote, right against the border with Mexico, issues with air traffic being so close to Tijuana's airport right next door. The have been discussion in using that airport for freight ops to take a load off of SAN, but this would have to be...

Technically, they are CF-5s (peeked at their plates while they were on the truck), Canadian made initially. And that work is being done in my hangar and some adjacent hangars where they are being rebuilt. Before that they were reworking jets that looked like the old A4 made by SIAI MARCHETTI...

Take this for what it is worth, it is secondhand information, the guy I bought my business from used to play raquetball with Phil Mickleson's pilot. He told me that this pilot told PM that he refused to fly into CRQ because the runway was too short. I think SAN would prefer as much traffic be...

My initial inclination, seeing a drop from 227.7K in 2019 to 183.4K in 2020 at SEE, was that it was due to COVID. However, that doesn't explain the huge jump in operations at MYF.

I haven't noticed as many Chinese students around but since they closed Airport Rd to Joe Crosson Dr I drive into work differently and the students may be staying somewhere closer to the west side of the field now. As for the numbers, I took them off the County and City pages for each airport...

I stand corrected, however from 2013-2018 SEE had 1,256,343 total operations (595/day) and MYF had 1,251,968 total operations (593/day). Over 2019-2020 SEE totaled 411,183 total operations (584/day) and MYF had 264,649 total operations (752/day). I can't account for the changes and I expect the...

With expansion of some quarter more or so available, just waiting on the guy who want to develop it. The Feds have been spending money here, I see it out my door. SEE already is the busiest airport in the county and also has the most aircraft based there in the county. MYF doesn't have much in...

If you have something to reference this I'd love to see it. Not questioning it. SEE is expanding its operations and mostly for jets.

Those on SEE now how to take a test in order to drive onto the property. We have to watch a video which I did last week SEE is the busiest airport in the county per that video.

And I have to say that SEE needs to upgrade to a complete precision ILS system. We have seen a huge increase in jet traffic over the last few years, and it is one of the busiest airports in the Western US. Most definitely the busiest in the San Diego County. We are already expanding into the...

I'll toast them and you. Yeah, it just takes one mistake. God bless them.

I have to say that I work at SEE. I can look out my window to the East for the approaches to 27R and 27L. Most jet traffic seem to be using at least a laterally stabilized approach coming over Crest (I have a flight tracker on my computer pretty much always) on the LOC, this is into the longest...

Damn, that was likely taken the day of the crash.

Yeah, that is something I was thinking. Oh, I'm a rye drinker. These guys were based just a couple hangar rows down from me. One nurse was identified. Her husband recently retired as a fire chief in Oceanside, Tina Ward.

El Cajon literally means "The box." It sits in a valley East of San Diego. However, you are not dealing with high altitude nor are the elevations around it that much to deal with. Yes, "Rattlesnake Mountain" on the right of the approach to 27R has some elevation but nothing I'd call a serious...

I expect that this pilot got great training with the aircraft conversion. O&N was a top notch company and pretty much rebuilt the 210 completely as part of their modification.

Why? I did my flight training there and never had any issues landing during daylight or at night. Now, I wouldn't recommend what this guy tried to do for obvious reasons, especially given what aircraft he was flying. However, he made bad choices compounded by more bad choices which got him and...
