Upgraded the clock out of the dark ages.
 
When I went to SJSU 2001-2004 we would hang out in the parking lot of the Aviation campus to watch this beast land.

One beautiful morning I ended up taking a C152 thru this 777's wake from their downwind for 30L, what a ride.


Another throw-back...basically just uploading a random photo that's been sitting around my hard-drive for years. This was American's final NRT-SJC flight on 10/28/06 turning off the runway when they de-hubbed San Jose and dropped the route. The plane flew out to DFW after(almost bought a ticket) and an AA 777 never returned to SJC. The route was flown in the early 90s by DC-10s then later MD-11s before the 777. At it's peak, the SJC hub had international flights to CDG, NRT, TPE, and YVR.

Lituya Bay, the trees change color at 1720ft, the scar left from the biggest tsunami ever recorded.
