I spent a majority of my day spotting at San Jose International Airport today for the first time in months. It brought back memories, but also reminded me of how boring standing around on a parking garage for hours was 😐. That’s one of the reasons why I made the switch to being an airport bum, but it’s always nice to get some heavy metal in my gallery every now and then. But if there’s one thing I hate about planespotting at SJC, it’s trying to find the creative angles. It’s so hard to get any interesting angles here and with the new 10 foot tall perimeter fencing, getting photos from my usual spots has become much harder.
Now for the photos. Enjoy and let me know which is your favorite!
My buddy Alan Eustace departing in his Citation V for the east coast. He’s the former Senior VP of Google and also holds the world record for the highest altitude free fall jump. Interested in finding out more about the jump? Check out his storyhere.
I saw it but did not get any photos of it while I was there. Was eating lunch when it landed. The thing about Hainan is that it arrives right in the afternoon so the sun light is directly on top of the plane. Not ideal lighting conditions but if I ever make it down again (probably in another few months lol) I’ll be sure to get some photos of it for you.
