Our travel on Thursday April 1st (see post just below this one) took us into, and out of, two of my least favorite of the major airports in the continental U.S. - San Diego and Midway. The images above show the two airports and the congested neighborhoods that seem to come up right to the ends of the runways. The approach to San Diego is usually from the east and the nice view of Balboa Park changes suddenly, as the plane seems to scim the rooftops of houses as it approaches the runway - quite un-nerving. Note that San Diego has only one major runway so that cross winds can make the landings more tricky than at other major airports. Midway has more runway options but, regardless of the directions of approach, the final minutes of flights into there also seem to scim the roofs of peoples' homes.
