Flight Briefing

**Delta Virtual Airlines Online Event Briefing**

          Opposite Day in the San Francisco Bay

San Francisco International Airport is known for its closely spaced approaches to runways 28L and 28R, as well closely spaced departures from runways 1L and 1R. SFO runs in that configuration for the majority of the year, but in the rare occasion that winds are strong out of the east or southeast, the bay area falls into what is called "Southeast Plan", where San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose flip their direction of operations. For this event, we will be putting ourselves into Southeast Plan, rain or shine (or unfavorable wind). Come experience this once a year (seriously! this configuration only happens a few times a year!) configuration with us.
