Between McDonnell Road and San Bruno Ave, immediately east of US-101, there is a small grassy area that is well-positioned at the end of 10L/28R. This is the longest runway at SFO, so in good weather, it is the first choice for departing large aircraft. When 28R is in use, aircraft will pass very low above this spot; when 10L is in use (generally only in marginal weather), this spot has a good view of aircraft as they wait for the runway. | Between McDonnell Road and San Bruno Ave, immediately east of US-101, there is a small grassy area that is well-positioned at the end of 10L/28R.

Runway 28L/10R is also visible, but is significantly obstructed by the rental car facility and the end of AirTrain. | ||
Unfortunately this location is spoiled for the good photography because of numerous fences and light poles. | Unfortunately this location is spoiled for the good photography because of numerous fences and light poles. | ||
