Flight from Sacramento to Burbank, CA - August 26, 2022


Interstate 5, at the airport's doorstep.

Sacramento Metropolitan Field (SMF) - Sacramento's airport - and Interstate 5.

Westlake Development.  I modeled air quality impacts for this development when I was at Sierra Research about a decade ago.  I somehow doubted this development would be built, but here it is!

Arco Arena, undergoing demolition.  I remember the first time I ever came to Sacramento, about 1987, and how proud everyone was of their new NBA Arena.  Now it's being smashed into pieces.  It's fairly new too!  Sigh.  No one listens.  Also, Pepper Von's new health and fitness studio is in this shot.

The American River.

Folsom Lake, Lake Natoma, and the American River.

Yosemite Valley, including El Capitan and Half Dome.

Two fires near Yosemite - probably the Red and Washburn fires.

Bass Lake.

Millerton Lake.

Millerton Lake and the San Joaquin River.

Somewhere over the southern Central Valley.

Edge of the southern Central Valley - Elk Hills/Buttonwillow Airport.

Bleak down there!

Tortured, mountainous terrain.

Just east of Fillmore, California.

Happy Camp Canyon.

Tapo Canyon Road, Santa Susana.

Canoga Park, in the San Fernando Valley.

Van Nuys Airport.  Amazing!  Burbank Airport is nearby, so these two large airports have to share air space.  Airliners landing at Burbank fly low and perpendicularly-across the runway at Van Nuys Airport, because directly over the airport is exactly where they WON'T encounter any Van Nuys air traffic!

San Diego Freeway (405).

Sherman Way and Highway 170.

Landing!

People disembark out both doors, onto the tarmac, here at Burbank.

My Beast of Burden!

"Fly Quietly."
