Well, this is my first post here. Last night, it took my wife and I a little longer to eat dinner out on the deck than usual. When she asked what I was doing, I told her ". . . dot spotting!" Her only response was, "Is that what you're calling it now?"

Here's what I saw;

7:52 United B737

7:56 American MD-80

8:07 American Eagle EMB 145

8:20 United B737

8:21 United B737

8:39 Alaska B737

8:44 Alaska MD-80

8:52 American West A320

all inbound to SFO at around 10000'


BTW, is there that much of difference between a 10x40 and a 10x50 pair of binoculars? I've got a 40.

Today 7/19:

USAF C141
SWA 737 (15)
AT 717 (10)
AA MD-80 (2)

That's what I've seen so far, of course it's only 3pm. And the planes aren't really "dots" at 2500ft.
