A year in the life at SFO(warning lots of pics).

The WN plane that looks like it's tailstriking is off of 1L and against 1R in the pic. The further airplane, the -300, is actually off that runway. You can see 1L at the bottom of the pic.


Thanks dude, I still didn't edit the shots I took at DVO with you and Susan haha, they came out really good.

Our own little terrifying San Maarten. :D
 
How can anyone tell the difference between a 737-300 and 700 with those winglets? Looks identical to me.

Being a hopeless nerd, I can tell by the shape, it is different. Other hints are the tail, nose, smaller winglets, a couple things...

But here is my nerd trick of the day. Easiest way to tell a Southwest NG from a 733 with winglets? The flap canoes are painted solid red on the -700s, and unpainted on the -300s. This trick is only for Southwest.

Did you read that somewhere or realize it?

Great pics, dude. You work in terminal 3? I'll have to come find you one of these days.

And if you have a picture of 565SW with the gear up, I'd be willing pay.

I work in the ramp tower in T2, the tower below the FAA tower. If you want a gear up of 565, give me a nice early rotation off 1L and I'd be more than happy to do that for you. :)

I might have a pic of it off the 28s with the wheels up...I'll look through my hard drive later.

Don't put in too much effort! But if you happen across one let me know. She took my Broginity. :oops:

Gives me something to do on the slow night shift Friday. I'll bring my hard drive and see what I can find. Otherwise if you ever want a pic of you flying just PM me, I've done it for quite a few members here, even some lurkers.

And Broginity is an interesting word.

These are great pics Chasen. I love flying in and out of SFO. The Bay area is just gorgeous, the international presence at SFO is always very interesting, and SFO to me is like a "Big" small airport. I've flown out of there so many time over the past three years that it's super familiar, comfortable, and predictable. But I also hate SFO with a passion during flow days. I truly do both love and hate it.

As far as good goes, it's good at SFO. But oddly enough I think SLC is AMAZING now for food options in the terminal. But my all time favorite restaurant is the little Japanese place in Vancouver, outside security in the international terminal. The Bento boxes are incredible! Tons of delicious food for an unbelievably cheap price.

This. When it works, SFO is one of my favorite places to fly in and out of but when it decides to have a bad day? I'd rather cannonball into a pile of broken glass.



@ChasenSFO, awesome pictures. PM sent shortly!

Don't they know they shouldn't use water on an electrical fire?
