Plane Spotting Mix (No Music) #43, San Diego International Airport, Lindbergh Field (KSAN)

San Diego International Airport (IATA: SAN, ICAO: KSAN, FAA LID: SAN), formerly known as Lindbergh Field, is an international airport three miles (4.8 km) northwest of Downtown San Diego, California, United States. It is owned and operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. The airport covers 663 acres (268 ha) of land. There are more than 60 nonstop markets in the US and abroad.
San Diego International Airport is the busiest single-runway airport in the world. The airport's landing approach is well known for its close proximity to the skyscrapers of Downtown San Diego and can sometimes prove difficult to pilots for the relatively short usable landing area, steep descent angle over the crest of Bankers Hill, and shifting wind currents just before landing. San Diego International operates in controlled airspace served by the Southern California TRACON, which is some of the busiest airspace in the world. - Wikipedia

Nice sharp photography. Continuous motion (e.g. JL66 landing) is easier on the brain than a series of lap dissolves to events only a few seconds in the future.
Didn't know that the "Lindbergh" name had gone away.
For anyone not acquainted, the airport is actually right next to downtown San Diego, the "three miles" being to somewhere in the middle the downtown. Not very many major USA airports have than sort of proximity. With a bit of time on your hands, you could just walk to some downtown destinations. Less of a hike than when I once walked from Dupont Circle to a departure from Washington National (traveling light has its perks).
