It may just be seasonal but for the time being there's a daily IAH-SAN-IAH run arriving SAN around 10:30AM and departing at approx. 11:30AM. Over the past few years SAN has only seen regular CO 757 service in December and those have usually been late night arrivals and early morning departures. I've tried to convince some of the SAN photogs to get photos but I hear the June gloom has been awful.

I know a CO 757 barely cleared my house Saturday of last week!! Missed approaches are fascinating here...

It actually is getting nice finally. The last few weeks have been great after about noon.
The usual missed approach pattern for SAN is a left turn and a big counter-clockwise circle back to rejoin the landing pattern. In cases where there is no close inbound traffic, the tower will, at its discretion, allow the plane to make a right turn over Banker's Hill/Hillcrest/North Park in a 360 turn to lose altitude rather than use fuel on a missed approach.
What we heard on that particular Saturday morning was a Continental 757 flying EXTREMELY low over our neighborhood (music to my ears!! ) that was re-aligning itself for another approach to runway 27 without having to do the whole missed approach thing.
Perhaps someone from the OB/Point Loma neighborhoods wouldn't think it was so low, but for our neighborhood of North Park, this was QUITE unusual. Not being the pilot, I couldn't tell you the altitude, but I do know it was low enough to be the talk of the neighborhood for the rest of the day!!

Do any of you know if the CO 757s at SAN have included ones with winglets?
We get them here in Berlin where I live and they look really sharp.

The only 757 service that CO has to SAN is to IAH. They stopped the EWR-SAN-EWR 757 service years ago when the 738s came into the fleet.

Looking at yesterday/today/tomorrow .... winglets.. I'm sure one makes it to SAN now and then, but it's not a planned thing...
