Lindbergh Field
One of the coolest things about the San Diego International Airport also known as Lindbergh Field, is that you can park in a lot a block away, and literally watch your loved ones, guests, and visitors fly over head, watch them land and then drive to the terminal and pick them up. The airplane is as that close to the building as it appears... on the other side of this building is a road, another building and then the landing strip...
........
About the Airport...
San Diego International is the busiest single-runway commercial service airport in the United States, and second busiest single use-runway in the world with approximately 550 departures and arrivals carrying 50,000 passengers each day, and a total of 16,890,722 passengers in 2011.
San Diego is the largest metropolitan area of the United States that serves as neither a hub nor a secondary hub for any airline; however, the airport is a focus city for Southwest Airlines.
The airport is located near the site of the old Ryan Airlines factory, but it is not the same as Dutch Flats, the Ryan airstrip where Charles Lindbergh flight tested the Spirit of St. Louis before his historic 1927 transatlantic flight. The site of Dutch Flats is on the other side of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, in the Midway area, near the current intersection of Midway and Barnett avenues.
..............
Inspired by Lindbergh's historic flight and excited to have made the plane he flew, the city of San Diego passed a bond issue in 1928 for construction of a two-runway municipal airport to be operated by the city. Lindbergh himself encouraged the building of the airport and agreed to lend his name to it.[6] The new airport, dedicated on August 16, 1928, was given the name San Diego Municipal Airport � Lindbergh Field, by which name it is still known. This naming occurred because San Diego was the city from which Lindbergh began the journey that would ultimately become the first solo transatlantic flight, in addition to being the place where his aircraft was designed, built, and tested, at Dutch Flats.
.....
The airport was the first federally certified airfield to serve all aircraft types, including seaplanes. The original terminal was located on the northeastern side of the field, along Pacific Highway. The airport also served as a testing facility for several early U.S. sailplane designs, notably those by William Hawley Bowlus (superintendent of construction on the Spirit of St. Louis) who also operated the Bowlus Glider School at Lindbergh Field from 1929�1930.
On June 1, 1930, a regular San Diego � Los Angeles airmail route was initiated. The airport gained 'international airport' status in 1934, and a United States Coast Guard Air Base located adjacent to the field was commissioned in April 1937. The Coast Guard's fixed-wing aircraft made use of the runway at Lindbergh Field until the mid-1990s when the fixed-wing aircraft were retired.
