Nippon Cargo 747-8 sunrise landing over San Franisco Bay by ChasenSFO, on FlickrSFO isn't very busy in the early morning, usually nothing but a few RJs and Brasilias from nearby outstations come in before 7AM. This has made getting sunrise shots with planes in them pretty hard. Sometimes though, the freighters come in early and I finally caught a heavy at sunrise. NCA 747-8 arriving from LAX.

When I get an SFO layover, I expect an epic tour of the ramp tower.
I thought that was a different tower...

So what is a "high energy" visual, and why do they warrant special practice in the sim? Is it just like a max speed to the marker kind of thing, and they teach you how to get it stabilized by 1000 or 500 or whatever company criteria is?
250 knots, abeam the numbers, stay within five miles of the airport.
Jets are super slippery and flaps are generally considered "high lift devices not to be over-sped".
A lot of the things we do in training is a result of FOQA data showing certain trends.

Got married at the airport about 2 months ago.
It was the most adorable wedding! Such a fun blend of aviation and class.

Haha maybe if it was after work, before work? No bueno.
Had no idea it was you, but I did think it was really cool and it's the only wedding I've ever seen at that airport since 07 when I started there. So major props.

SFO. That's the aviation museum library in the international terminal. Great space and the price was right. Definitely helped to sway my lady's opinion on the matter.

My brother and I summited Mount Adams, Washington's second highest peak on Wednesday. This was singlehandedly the most physically demanding thing I've ever put my body through, and the payoff was totally worth it.
I've always been a huge hiker/backpacker, and now mountain climbing is in my blood. We're actually thinking about doing a guided climb of Mount Rainier next summer.
