Mission Hills: Low End Trends

[bearishgurl]

[quote=CONCHO]. . . On landing the pilot has the opposite problem, he needs to reduce speed as much as possible while preserving his options in case of emergency.

So being in the flight path can mean different things at different times. Better to be in the landing path than the takeoff path IMO, especially here where the directions rarely reverse. That said, I would NEVER want to live right under the landing path, it is really, really loud.[/quote]

Lol, CONCHO, for almost 3 years, I lived on the corner of Front and Ivy. Standing on the roof deck of our building, we could read the lettering on the just-lowered tires of the commercial jets (that’s when I was young and my eyesight was good ;=}.) Our building was too old to have access to “Mission Cable” (Cox later bought them out). We had antennas on the roof deck. Every 20 mins or so, when a jet came over, we got “snow” on our TV screen for 20 seconds minimum …

Rent was $225 mo for an 800 sf unit on the 3rd flr, with a panoramic view of the bay and beyond (foreground: entire runway in infintesimal detail). We had a telescope and camera tripod with zoom lens set up in the LR and caught several “close-calls.” We also rented an oversized 2-car garage on Albatross St to store our (land and sea-going) “toys” for $100 mo.

Note: This was 35 years ago but nothing has changed in this regard (except the rent) :=]

Edit: Oh, I forgot to add that the rent in ALL THREE of my dtn apts INCLUDED ALL UTILS!!

South Park/Golden Hill is in the flight path too but nobody complains about the noise. You can’t hear anything, the engines are idling as they come into land. PL is incredibly loud with jet noise because they’re taking off. Naturally this reverses if they change takeoff direction.

Today I noticed the pilots were having to veer sharply north because of the wind direction, so PB/MB/OB would be getting a lot of jet noise.

Anyway, if you live around here you know where the jet noise is bad and you know where it’s not.

In South Park and Golden Hill, the jets are higher. They’ve not yet gotten quite low enough to land. In Banker’s Hill, watch out!! It’s as if they are right above you, skimming the top of your condo/apt bldg and covering your sky.

That last quick pass over Harbor Dr is when they are ready to touch down … right over the vehicles stopped on the south side of the Laurel St light, lol!

Ever been to an acoustic show at the Casbah? The out-of-town performers’ reactions are hilarious.

Before shows there I like to spend a few minutes on Kalmia St between Ketner and India listening to the wind whip through the short & narrow street a few minutes after plane has landed. Sometimes the delay is enough that it’s not clear what is causing the eerie wind. I like to take out-of-towers there and tell them the street is haunted.

Anyone been to the top of the parking structure on the opposite corner of The Casbah? Seems like you might get some skid marks on your face from the wheels of the planes if you do your planespotting up there.
