Spotting At SAN From The Famous Parking Structure

[cancerman50]

That parking structure is a hazard. Once I saw a show, and that sctructure maks LAX the most dangerous airport in the US. They should tear and down and move it a little bit.

@stevannz I kinda miss that one. It was the first plane I ever took a ride on.

Cool video. I've often wanted to film from that spot. Thanks for posting.

[RyanBomar]

@TallSky, thanks for watching :)

[granaleo1]

the cool effects on 4:09 are actually the wingtip Vortices .

So...If u pay to park at this garage, ur not allowed to tailgate "loiter"?? BEST spot to see this nasty descent! Why TF did they build this structure so close, and directly under approach?? I'm surprised it has'nt been taken out yet!

[whitemike265]

That effect you mention at 4:09 is the wake turbulence behind the heavy B757. It was deflecting the rising heat and that's why the image becomes distorted temporarily.

@whitemike265 yep. you can also hear the vortices from some of the other arrivals, like around 2:28

From the way it looks Southwest is going to take Usair after Air Tran

[MyPilot747]

[dantorp11]

I was standing here too, luckily it was the early morning so no one came :P

[RyanBomar]

@dantorp11, it's funny I just looked at your video a little while ago. Yeah, it's a fun place to spot, good video man.

[pianomanmaestro]

I used to get in trouble allot by those Airport security people all i was doing was watching airplanes in area that your not supposed to park!

Southwest throwing the best touchdowns in the film

[flightsimtelevision]

you should have captured the security guard on tape lol

[RyanBomar]

@flightsimtelevision, you're right I should have. He was an older guy with gray hair who obviously had a hatred for plane spotters.

[flightsimtelevision]

@RyanBomar lol! :)

@RyanBomar : Great video. Just my cup of tea! ...and you took one for the team with the Rent-A-Cop and all. I've never been to the top of the great Laurel Travel center. But I've got lotsa stills and vidoes of jets skimming over. I should upload sometime. And that effect at 4:09...isn't it bizarre? I've caught the same effect in many vids. There's one on my video page but it's from the Pt. Loma side on Runway 9. :-)
