Ah yes, the airport east of the 101. Fond memories there.
p.s., working with @trafficinsight is pretty awesome.

280/680 still confusing. (I got lost in San Jose on my first day of work. Was grand.)Damn southern Californians inserting "the" before freeway names.

There's a 380 by SFO, and a 780 in Vallejo too. Not to mention the usual 80/580/880 in the east bay. Anyway I'm a Socal kid now, gonna go drive on "the 805."

When are you coming up to the (actual) 805?There's a 380 by SFO, and a 780 in Vallejo too. Not to mention the usual 80/580/880 in the east bay. Anyway I'm a Socal kid now, gonna go drive on "the 805."

Been on that road many times, the news had an aerial pic which was pretty cray cray.
As a side note, all the freeways we have, I wish they would have finished the one along the Embarcadero. It's kind of redonkulous to have to weave thru the streets of SF to get to Golden Gate Bridge when you're going to the North Bay. Takes way too long.

And only a traffic light every other block the whole way.

They had a double-decker freeway on the Embarcadero. Apparently it was called "State Route 480," and was torn down following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

And you make it sound like you're weaving through all the side streets of Chinatown, but 101 to Van Ness to Lombard really isn't that bad.

Get a motorcycle!
Used to take me 2 1/2 hrs to get from sfo to the other side of the bay bridge in traffic. My bike cuts it down to about 45 min.

Some days I don't like it very much...
Anyway, word on the street is brake failure. Airplane looks dinged up but repairable.

I've read all about that on a wiki tanget once. It seems like everyone I know in SF lives in Sunset so I'm on 19th all the time, it can easily take 30 minutes to go the few miles from 280 to the Golden Gate in traffic.They had a double-decker freeway on the Embarcadero.

I've really considered it for that reason and because they're cheap and don't use much gas. But I know myself too well, I'd die.Get a motorcycle!

You just gotta be gentle with them, except when you need to be tough. It's one of those tricycles that appeal to taildragger pilots.
First time I flew a 500B, I had no problems with the steering. Instructor looked at me an asked: "you have tailwheel time?"

Damn, you guys were awfully low when you took that shot...and I thought I flew close to the ground.Hey, it's sort-of a picture I took of RHV … in the back there. I went up with trafficinsight last year for the bay area tour (thanks man!).
