Being under the extended center line for Burbank’s primary runway 8, we get a ton of 737’s and smaller Airbus jets overhead all day long. Every now and then we get something larger. In particular, every day at almost exactly 5PM, we get a large UPS cargo jet coming in to pick up all of the Los Angeles area overnight freight and packages.
Sometimes it’s a 757 – today it was an A300. Either way, it announces its presence with authority! And today I happened to be out in the yard with a camera and saw it making its turn to final right overhead.
Floating up there the exact same way that bricks don’t, as the Master said.
