On Final

San Diego, CA

The approach to San Diego’s Lindbergh Field to runway 27 is infamous for how near the jets get to the ground when landing. The gull (below) didn’t seem too concerned.

Took a few approach shots at Lindbergh Field a few years back. Wonder why I didn't get a shot like this? ;-)

LOL at kenneth's remark. Nice shot.... How long did that bird stay on the wing for?

Cool PS job or this pilot is lost!

By defination to land you have to get close to the ground. Getting close to the buildings is another matter.......

Excellent, and kinda scary capture.

Is the plane really there Robin? I would hope they get close to the ground when landing. ;-) I'm disturbed by how close it is to the building, though.

Uh-oh, you have some dirt in your sensor again. Or are those U.F.O's ;o)

Oh Robin...I would have probably have had to change my pants! You are a master.

What a crazy thought - a plane getting close to the ground when it's landing! Nice capture though, might have to pay a vist to Lindbergh Field one day...
