It's totally AA related. A bunch of us live in San Diego. You need to tell us when you're coming to town so we can take you to the good Mexican restaurants by the airport.

What rough landing? Was the plane damaged?

I hope not. That's where I park when I travel. I park on the roof so I can see my truck as I land.

Heavens no, it is an ICON,...... now.. :lol: I used to go the corner on the Pacific Hwy and the end of the runway when the orange and red blast deflector fence was the only thing there and it seemed the planes were so close you just had to duck, then they built the parking garage and moved the touch down point further west and put up big fences, now its no fun. :(

It's fun if you're lingering on the roof while picking up your car!

Awesome video!!!

I did pull up that archived audio feed and some time after the video portion ended I heard that AAL MD-80 captain say "What a cute little plane. Did you build it yourself?" :twisted: ;)
