Views out of SFO
Posted by seaplants@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 13 comments
Had a little bit of time to grab some shots while rushing to my flight. If I’m ever back at SFO I’d love to check out the rooftop viewing area or the other terminals. Also, this was my first time realizing the UA livery gradients are done with dots, though I suppose that’s not uncommon.
I don’t get to be at airports as much as I'd like, so this was a fun time, even if it was a rush! The Air Train offers some great views too, but I didn’t have my camera out then.

Thank you!! I was so excited by that. I saw it from the Air Train station at the start of my trip and happy we flew right over ☺️

What hardware are you shooting on?
seaplants@reddit (OP)
Sony a7v + Sigma 50mm; some of these are very cropped in (especially the Golden Gate Bridge one!)

What is that red hose(?) in the 3rd picture?

I’m afraid I don’t know… the jet bridge had just connected and he started rolling it out. If I were to take a wild guess I’d say air conditioning? (Probably dead wrong lol)

You’re correct. Cheaper to run ac from the ground than burning fuel with the APU.

That connects pre conditioned air to the airplane.
