Suggestions for locations for shooting in San Diego

[scottcolbath]

Any of this august group done any aviation shooting in San Diego? If so, where do you go?

I'll be there this weekend. I don't know how close I can get to the naval base on Coronado, but that is about the only place I know besides the commercial airport.

Last time I was out at Mirimar serveral years back, I was hassled by MPs. Hell, I just wanted a pic of the Top Gun logo on one of the hangars. 

Thanks,
Scott

I hear Imperial Beach is a great spot for shots of H-60s doing landing practice.  The dog beach on North Island is probably the best-known spot for shots there.

You really won't catch much military stuff on the weekend though.

If you're driving out, I'd recommend stopping by El Centro on your way.  Fridays can be good days out there in terms of transient traffic.

Scott,
Gillespie Field is having their airshow this weekend.  Gillespie us up in El Cajon, but should have some pretty good stuff this weekend.
