More SFO Activity

wpid6154-AU0E9569.jpgThe head on shots weren’t the only ones I got at SFO.  Rather than go to Coyote Point, I decided to hang around by the Bay near the airport.  Here you don’t get as close to the aircraft but you do get to see them land and also hope for a parallel approach or two.  One problem with being further away is heat haze.
