@skbenergy lol! :)

I can see why BA service in SD is intermittent. It probably costs more for the escort service, and the inconvenience of having an insufficient taxiway? This city will NEVER upgrade airports or stadiums, and it's a shame because it's under-utilized.

I saw this plane on Friday morning and was wondering what happened. BA had to keep another 777 parked overnight on September 8th because of the San Diego blackout. I feel bad for the people who were expecting to fly out on BA272 only to have it cancelled.

Wow, looks amazing between all those traffic and buildings :)

I must go to KSAN! To see this bird!

[hmwawasi]

why does the plane need a police escort? is there a security threat?

[CoastersBolts]

@hmwawasi It's actually Airport Services escorting the plane because of its size in relation to the width of SAN's taxiways. They do this nightly when the plane leaves as scheduled.

i remember when brithish airways used to come to melbourne but it was only the 747-400's never the 777-200ER's, anyway great job.

[Airshowlover100]

@FrozenYogurification They added a nonstop flight from KSAN-LHR on June 1st 2011

Very nice, why does it always taxi on the northern side?

[Airshowlover100]

@SeuFilms Because the other taxiway (Taxiway Bravo) gets narrow at the end but the other taxiway (Taxiway Charlie is very wide and used for big aircraft like this one
