Cruising south of Phoenix before turning north

Descending towards Castro Valley

Landing on the north side of Oakland International, where all the general aviation facilities are. This used to be the main airport, until the construction of the modern passenger terminal and Runway 12/30 with the coming of the Jet Age.

Amazing GA action! The 28s are underrated at KOAK. Mandatory @Ashley_Cunningham summon

Yeah, unless you’re flying a light GA aircraft or turboprop, you’re using 12/30.
