I live in San Diego, and I recommend that if you really want to get a "feel" of the approaching plans, go to the parking garage, the top floor. Rumor has it if you stand on the roof of a truck, one can touch the wheels of the plane as it's coming in for a landing! Ha!
It's a beautiful sight to watch the planes land, especially Southwest, as they are so colorful from the harbor, right across from the runway.
If you really want some excitement, try landing in the fog in San Diego. Last November, we were coming in for a landing, saw the runway, and then the pilot couldn't see a thing and had to pull up really really fast, and off we went to LAX. We had to be bused down to San Diego, that was an experience I will never forget. So close and yet so far from my beautiful San Diego. The best place to live and land in.
