SFO Landing Sequence

We flew five legs and worked a 14 hour day today. I took this sequence of pictures at the end of our fourth leg landing on runway 28R at San Francisco Airport. Click on the pictures to view full size.

Tina Turner

We flew in from Reno and dropped off four passengers at Sacramento Jet Center at the international airport. The passengers are going to the Tina Turner concert and we have about six hours to wait until the passengers return so we can fly them back to Reno.

Tina Turner herself is on her way here shortly to play the concert.

To help pass the time, I decided to take some shots with my new Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens. This is a fun lens and I'm sure I'll be posting many pics using this lens.

San Francisco Bay

We had a beautiful view of the bay this morning on the way from
Oakland to Chico.

University of Georgia Game

Today we departed Nashville, Tennessee with four people who where going to the Tennessee vs University of Georgia football game and flew to Athens, Georgia, home of University of Georgia. We flew right over the stadium at which is located less than two miles from the airport and saw a sea of people wearing the color red (Georgia's colors).

After the passengers left to attend the game, we had some lunch at a local BBQ shack and came back to the packed airport and had a good time watching the game with all the other pilots. Georgia's mascot is the Bulldog and the airport had a funny looking aviator Bulldog on the lawn, so I had to take a picture of it.

Georgia ended up winning the game and we flew the owners back to Nashville.

Metrolink to Camarillo

Yesterday was completely pointless. I dropped off N150SL in Camarillo
Tuesday night, drove an hour to LAX so I could be in position to
airline to Houston the next day to meet another airplane.

I flew to three hours to Houston yesterday only to be told when I
landed to get right back on another airline going to Burbank, almost
right where I started the day. The plane had a two hour layover in
Phoenix, so I didn't get to the hotel until past 10pm last night.

I am now on the 8:00am train to Camarillo to meet back up with N150SL.
This is the same route that that the terrible train crash occurred a
few weeks ago. I took a picture of the corner where the wreck happen
as to can see above.

San Jose At Night

I started my tour in San Jose this evening and took this picture shortly after departing to the north. We are in a right hand turn to head back south towards Camarillo where the plane is going in for some maintenance.

The black rectangle you see is San Jose airport. The lights in the middle just to the right of the airport are the stadium lights from a Earthquakes game at Santa Clara University's Stadium, where the San Jose Earthquakes play their soccer games.
