Nearly 30 years ago as a young student i flew from Frankfurt/Germany to SFO and seeing this wonderful view of the Bay area, memories come back. San Francisco for me is one of the most impressive cities i visited in my life. Hopefully to visit SF again before i will die.

I don't know whether or not you are a professional photographer, but you did an excellent job of pointing out the beauty of the California coastline without a twitch or shudder of your hand. A good mix between the scenery and the changing configuration of the wing also added to an overall beautiful picture. Very smooth flying and smooth photographic technique added up to a wonderful overall experience. Thank you so much!!

I once was approaching SFO in evening when the city lights just came on. There was a teenager sat next to me looking out the window. I will never forget the look on his face. He told me that he's from India and it's his first time traveling to America.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to San Francisco" - that never gets old!

Congrats. This is the best looking window seat video I've ever seen. The clarity, detail, steadiness are all excellent. Of course, the great scenery helps! Thanks for sharing.

SF is beautiful, have flown in & out from SFO, especially at night - I left my heart in San Francisco - 💙💙💙

I’ve done that landing twice a year for the last 25 years. Never gets old. Great video thank you.

This approach is flat out AMAZING. Credits also to you, the cameraman

When I was in the Army I was stationed at the Crissy Army Airfield at the Presidio of San Francisco. We lived in base housing across the Bay in Marin County. I drove across the GG Bridge twice a day, and that was cool. That was in 1969 to early 1971. Our daughter was born there, but we took her "home" to Pennsylvania when my Army days were over. We still love San Francisco and we fly back once in a while. In your video, you flew over my former house (a group of homes). Our community (in a valley) was right in the center of your video at 1:33

The City like no other, a legend 🙌❤️

Grew up in the City. Reminds me of my first return flight from Europe in 1990 on a full Lufthansa 747. When we were approaching the Golden Gate bridge the pilot announced on the intercom that the bridge was coming into view. Many of the visiting German tourists then stood up to get a look through the windows and take some pictures. Funny to me as you tend to take for granted tourist attractions in your own local area.

Today, even 6 years on in 2023, I enjoyed this well-shot video, expansive bay views of this beautiful city and the freedom of flying like a bird - thank you and well done ! SFO shines during a night-time approach or departure also ! That is, if the fog stays away long enough! Thank you again !

Makes me want to go back I LOVE san francisco it is beautiful. I'm SO happy my daughter and I got to go in August of 2018. Best vacation ever.

Took a flight to Chicago from Cedar Rapids and then to San Francisco to see family every year. In March. Alot of planes had to be deiced before take off but we always made it... What wonderful pilots and airport crews

Flew into San Francisco from Atlanta back in 1997, awesome cross country flight, had a great time visiting.

I flew from ORD to SFO when my brother lived in the Bay area. This brings back excellent memories of those times.

Probably the best landing in San Francisco video I have seen, the scenery, the wing of the plane, fantastic thank you.

I love seeing my whole play ground (home) from this vantage point. Well done filming this journey. I now have this on my playlist. THANK YOU!

San Francisco (You've Got Me)! SF is the diamond of California. LA/SD no way! Beautiful footage of the Bay area. Cheers!

Oh that was beautiful. Clear video, love the panning back and forth, up,down, and so steady. Beautiful scenery, well done.

Thank you to the photographer for doing an amazing job and sharing their work. The approach from the north on a clear day with no fog or clouds showing the Bay Area from north to south in all it’s glory, a perfect window seat, and a gifted photographer who could capture the whole scene. Like a perfect storm everything lined up to give us one of the best videos I ever watched on KZfaq.

Great clarity. I love San Francisco

Amazing video!!!! A perfect, clear day!! Just beautiful ❤

Awesome footage! I'm a resident of Sacramento, so I'm not far from the San Francisco Bay area. Made this approach into SFO many years ago, 1993, on a KLM 747 from Amsterdam. Stupid me, I had a full size VHS cam at the time but couldn't get any footage because I thought I was suppose to have a window seat but it ended up being a seat near one of the fuselage bulkheads. Besides it was on the starboard side, so no way I could of got any of good video anyways. I always think one of the coolest parts of this approach is the smooth 180 degree arc that the aircraft make minutes before the actual landing

Thanks for posting from a San Francisco native! I have never seen this city and area from that angle. Thanks again!

It looks like a brand new airplane without any stain.... It reminds me my days one of the major companies in SF area. Even I can see the HQ during this landing... Great job.

Just gorgeous. It's as if the pilot said 'let's give 'em the tour before we take her in.' The mountains, the landmarks, the bay with it's shipping, all of it. It's such a shame when beautiful cities don't get an approach that does them justice. (I've always thought that 'Frisco' is the true west Coast counterpart of the Big Apple, rather than that Johnny-Come-Lately, the admittedly bigger L. A.)

I feel like once again I'm landing at my beautiful SAN FRANCISCO where for good I left my heart...

California ALWAYS puts a smile on my face... aint no place like it anywhere on Earth! God bless the Golden State :)

Cool video. I think San Francisco is the most beautiful city in the world, from every angle. I may be biased, having grown up there, and, of course, I haven't seen every city. No matter how many times you've landed at SFO it feels like you're going to land in the water..., until, a few seconds before touchdown, you're over the runway. (And if on Korean Air, I'd guess you'd have genuine doubts.) Haven't been back in a while - and it's too expensive to live there. But this brings back the memories. Thanks for uploading.

You see how the 101 was flowing? A miracle! SFO's my favorite big airport.

The Bay Area is more beautiful than Los Angeles change my mind

What a beautiful panoramic view of San Francisco ! Enjoyed watching

I love San Francisco. My home airport! ✈️

I have a friend who’s a pilot with United airlines and he’s told me that S.F. Airport is one of the hardest airports to land at because of the crosswinds

The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge appears right at the start. Great aerial of the Bay Area. Good viz, and then the Bay Bridge appears as you go south, Golden Gate Park at 2:27, on down south -- what a beautiful view and a great day for flying! The San Mateo Bridge and Hwy. 101 south, past the Points, the Basin, Foster City below the San Mateo Bridge, then banking left and setting up for the approach from the south into SFO! The view has changed (more buildings and more development by the Bay) since I last flew over my old stompin' grounds! Gorgeous day at 1:20 p.m. in San Francisco! THANKS for the memories!

this view is literally childhood memories for me

Very nice landing in San Francisco 😍 my dream City

Everytime I watch a video for planes ✈️ I say to myself what a great invention !!

i remember flying into san francisco back in 1989 early that time it was cold!!!!!!! because i came back from hawaii after being in the summer like climate, yikes i remember how nice it was to see it from the sky that was my first time to san francisco and i lived there for long time thanks for showing that viedeo it brings back memories good ones

I have flown to San Francisco airport a few times but never viewed it in the way shown in this excellent video. Video has been taken in the perfect manner.

One of the best shot videos of the city from an airplane.

San Francisco is beautiful and lovely city. Great Video.

I think of all the great music that came out of that city.

Absolutely splendid! it was also interesting seeing other aircraft below in their final approach to SFO.

I live in Portugal and San Francisco is my favorite city, I would love to go there one day.

One of the better videos for showing view of cities. Excellent. Thank you. Loved Frisco. 🇦🇺🐨

It was visited at the front a lot to San Francisco by a honeymoon. If this animation was being seen, I felt like going again. Thank you very much.

That was wonderful! Thank you for posting this video! I felt like I took a trip without the hassle in the cost. I frequent the Bayshore by the airport and watch the airplanes come in just as you did. But no one is captured it's so beautiful as you did thank you!

Beautiful!!! I love my San Francisco.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I have landed twice coming from the south but this approach from the north at the beginning of the Bay and over the Golden Gate bridge, fantastic !!

Thanks, excellent video....one of the best I have ever seen.....The clarity, as well as the window seat, is outstanding....

"If you´re going to San Francisco / You´re gonna meet some gentle poople there". So many places, so many good memories from that wonderful city! Thanks a lot for the video.

From the air; everything seems so peaceful. And then one lands.

You got great camera angles. The best I’ve seen so far and for that I subscribed. Great work.

Beautifully photographed!

This is the most beautiful video about landing San Francisco international airport !! It’s all about luck as you know the weather of San Francisco is tricky. You have perfect window but you may not come across the perfect route. Even your flight comes early with such great route, the weather may not cooperate... you may experience foggy or cloudy weather. Making Such a great video is like a perfect storm !! Good job

Wow!! This was a beautiful and exciting to watch!! Thank you for all of your work to make this for us!! Mike

The thing about landing at SFO is that the jets make their approach from the bay. And as they get lower and lower, that water gets closer and closer. Then you find yourself thinking.....now, I know there's gotta be a runway somewhere....please let there be one.

Enjoyed video,passed through San Francisco to Las Vegas . Went to see one of the last shows of Donny and Marie , In 2019. Hope to return to San Francisco when we can after this Covid 19 pandemic. Best wishes from the U K !

Wow, what a great vid. I saw where I used to work at 10:22. lol! The tan rectangular areas above are actually aquatic farms but I don't know what is growing in them now. They were growing brine shrimp for some reason at one point. :\

My US Navy homeport was the former NAS Alameda, which you could see across the bay during the first part of the video. I loved flying in and out of Frisco on commercial planes. Such nice views when weather was good. Something that not too many Alabama boys ever get to see..the only other view that can rival this one is flying into Honolulu, Hawaii...great video, mfedosov...

The last time I landed in SFO was at night all lit up. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice landing. Always dreamed of becoming an airline pilot.

Thanks for sharing such a great video.👍🇺🇸😀

So beautiful. I can't believe how small it looks from up high.

Great aerial tour of the Bay Area and nice camera work. Thank you!

兩年前，曾去了一趟舊金山，這輩子應是無緣再去了…… 挺懷念的~~ 謝謝這個視頻

Great landing! Nice view of the GG Bridge, the Oakland-Bay Bridge and the San Mateo Bridge. As soon as the plane ✈️ flies over the San Mateo Bridge it needs to make a U-turn for the approach to the SFO airport. Used to live there!

Thanks for the video . this is always my favorite part of flying .

Was there in September 2019. This is fantastic footage.

That final approach ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ beautiful landing.

Beautiful SF 😍left my ❤️in SF

thanks for the video, i just relived my experience 12 or so years ago when I visited that city, love to one day see here again!

Wow!.that flight to the ther looks amazing..I would love to take that trip.

Spectacular video! Thanks!

Typically, when I have landed or taken off from San Francisco, the fog and clouds obscure much of the view. It's nice to see a landing on a clear day!

Very well shot. Better than actually sitting at the window and looking out. Great job! And that constant chattering of kids (probably) in the background adds realism to the whole clip, as though you are actually in that plane.

Beautiful...just like Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Very nice approach and landing and great video you have here. This is actually THE BEST video I have seen of an approach from north to south, then the same turn hard left and up into the SF Airport. I live in the North Bay Area and we'd fly in and out of SFO all the time as kids. But we were arriving from CMH and ORD airports so we'd come in from around Stockton and over the E. Bay Hills to around Alviso/Milpitas, then come up to land. Everything looks nice from the air! Dealing with everything on the ground is a different matter, e.g. snobbery, poverty, traffic, high prices, etc...

I love this video. Watched from beginning to end; my brother called me from Fiji in between 😂 The video carried on after our conversation. All those bridges criss crossing across the Bay were seen. And those cities up and down this part of California; from the North, South Bay, East Bay. Saw the main vein 101. I felt a little nostalgic, coming to America in 2010, and now planning to return after completing my mission; it's been a great stay in this great land called the United States. God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As Jeffer J said, great camera work and you were in a perfect seat. As I Bay Area native, I've only flown into SFO maybe twice. I usually flew out of Oakland which at one point you can see that airport across the bay.

Really all included - very nice! A very good directed video! One year before you - I landed there - but from Las Vegas and short filmed the touchdown.

Superb video! As a lifelong peninsula resident, it was fun trying to make out all the areas you flew over.

Sitting in my home, I saw the SF airport where my son had gone recently. Thumbs up.

Wow, what an awesome video - simply beautiful and so well filmed. Thank you very much. Subscribed!

great video, thanks for posting. reminds me of my trip, Toronto to san fran.

The microclimates of the SF area are on full display in its topography

Great video! I enjoyed the overhead shots of the bay bridges and San Francisco.

what a treat...thank you so much...beautiful! from New mexico

Watching from Kelowna BC Canada, all I know about SF, I learned from John Lescroart books and Pat Conroy's South of Broad. Looks beautiful!

This jet landed on the same runway that the Asiana Airlines 777 crashed a few years ago. When I was in the Army in 1970, my daughter was born at the Letterman Hospital at the Presidio Army Base (at the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge). It's very hard to imagine that my daughter will be 50 years "young" in a few months. I think I must be getting old..!!!

Great all encompassing video. Spectacular views all around the Bay Area!

Absolutely brilliant.

Amazing scenery below great captains flight Really great work through smooth flight

I haven’t been to SFO in 12 years....kind of miss California! Time for a visit!

Lovely, beautiful video. Flying into my home town. 😘

Very nice video! Nice view of the Golden Gate Bridge and SF peninsula from the air. Happy Landings. 🛬

I'd like to thank you for this video. Seems like you camera was just about where I would be looking as we landed 😎👍🏾
