To fly over the centre of San Diego and its international airport requires a lot of communication with the ATC and some courage.

In addition to the international airport, there are quite a few local airports in the area. However, it is worth it – San Diego boasts a beautiful bay as well as a fleet of US navy ships in the harbour.

Also, it has a very colourful history – the first Europeans came to San Diego area in 1542 and a gold rush started here in 1869. The gold rush brought with it a railroad which in turn helped further development of the city. After Pearl Harbour bombing San Diego became the seat of the U.S. Navy Pacific fleet HDQ.
