A lucky shot - a landing at just the right time, while another plane awaits takeoff. Lindbergh Field is one of the busiest single-runway commercial airports in the United States, and is located with 5 minutes of downtown San Diego.
Landings offer dramatic close-in views of the downtown skyline.
A plane awaiting takeoff. The Coast Guard helipad is visable behind the runway. A Coast Guard hanger is just off-screen to the right. A special traffic light stops traffic while the planes cross the road. This is the largest plane that I've seen fly into Lindbergh Field.
