Okay, so, I live in Southern California. San Diego to be exact. And in the way to school, I saw a large, four engined airliner. I took a more examined look, and it turbs out its a 747! I live about 100 miles south of Los Angeles, the nearest airport that can harbor the 747... Any ideas?
Im sure i saw an F-35 training in Newcastle Australia
@WhiteWing welp, British Airways is now flying 747s into my city... That explains the paint scheme and my first 747 sighting...

According to this video and some comments, there is now a scheduled service to San Diego,but when the video was posted it was a rare site. So that may be why your confused, 747's haven't been there for a very long time. But the video shows a 747 can land in San Diego
@Thefalloutplayr I don't know if you have noticed, but NONE of the major airports around have services capable of a 747... Even if we did it would be one hell of a pilot to land and KSAN. The runway is about 9700 ft. But it's pretty narrow. And all the 737s there.
Edit: I now know KSAN can harbor a 747! XD
And San Diego HAS AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT! How old are you? To not know that your city has one of the US's most major airports?! Don't make a pointless post about this it literally took me 5 mins to come up with information take this down for the love of god! Take this down
And a 747 only needs 6900 feet. The average runway is 6000feet long so it wouldn't be TOO much of a stretch to say it was going for repairs at a local airport
It's not that big of a deal you may not know this but San Diego is a MAJOR private airline port.hell it could have been going to go for repairs.and how exactly did you "identify" this UA
@Dankplanes that's what I heard in West Civ!
@AeroEngineering today saw a 747 flying over head at lunch
I see some aircraft you would never expect on a near weekly basis at school. They include:
C-130
F-15
Black hawk helicopter
USCG dolphin helicopter
2 acrobatic planes
More C-130's (there everywhere!)
Tons of private and commercial gets (near an airport)
Numerous private helicopters
The occasional F-18
Once an F-22
New word of the day: turbs!
But that's probably normal
@Frant24 this is the first time I've seen it. It never is in this area
Sounds normal.
