If the winds are light, you are most likely going to land on 28L or 28R, as the other patterns cause significant ATC delays. You will come in from the south end of the bay, fly over the Dunbarton and San Mateo bridges, and have Palo Alto and the rest of the peninsula on the left, and Fremont, Hayward, and Oakland on the right. You will not see San Francisco or either the Oakland Bay or Golden Gate Bridges. Sorry.
