    Jurgen Raps is a freaking stud. 40 years of experience taught him how to plant that A380 on that runway with a 15 knot tailwind. There really is no substitute for an experienced pilot who can anticipate air traffic control before they even speak. Not to mention the fact that he maintains a sterile cockpit from start to finish. Good man. We'll miss you in your retirement, Jurgen.

    I absolutely love the flow of the protocol on approach to SFO. The sights from high up looking down were gorgeous. Landing a "flying hotel" takes plenty of skill on a clear day and far more skill and experience during inclement weather. These German pilots did a great job of landing that big boy plane. Thank You for showing us all what the passengers never get to see firsthand. Loved all the electronic navigational instruments. The mechanical movements of the plane thrill me. This was my dream since I was a little kid. To fly a commercial airliner. The aviation industry lost a potential commercial pilot going back to the 1990's. The loss was greater for me than for them.

My last flight as a 777 Captain was from Seoul to SFO on Aug. 29th, landing also on 28R.

    My first landing at SF scared me to death. On final approach there was another aircraft to the right, as if we were competing for the same runway. As things turned out we were using the left runway and the other aircraft the right. Both aircraft landed simultainiously on adjacent runways. Never experienced that before - or after. Crazy, but that was 22 years ago.

    If anyone wants to know what Wake Turbulance means in full terms, here it is:
    Wake turbulance is caused by an aircraft wingtips from the aircraft in front of you. The bigger the aircraft, the bigger the vortices, and more turbulance. Pilots and ATC leave plenty of space from 2 aircraft. If an Airbus A380 took off, and you are in an a320, you would have to wait for up to 2-5 minutes for the vortices to clear. Thats all I have, comment below if I missed anything!!

      It is great weather today, but it can be treacherous when there is fog. They had an open air balcony showing the tarmac in past years. It was a great place to watch 707s, and DC-8s and the newest airliner the 727s. There were propeller driven aircraft like the Electra. Flying into SFO made you feel like you were landing in the bay, but just as you were about to touch the water a landing strip would appear. They used to have a flight from Oakland to SFO to position aircraft. Lasted 15 minutes, cost 12 dollars. Money well spent.

Enlightens us, albeit with just a glimpse, on how crucial the ATC-Pilot communication and action both are !!! Salute to the pilots and to all the people behind the curtain ---in the Control Tower--- as well !!! Great teamwork--- the skilled pilots make it sound so simple, but it is actually deceptively simple !!!

    Great German pilots are always good to see. True professionals on par with high quality medical doctors, imo. Need to give the air traffic controllers great respect as well, I really don't know they can do what they do, but I'm sure glad they can do it, day in and day out. Both the pilots & the aircraft controllers earn every penny of their wages.
