A couple of days ago, during an afternoon break in the rain, I was outside in the bubbling hot water, watching SFO approaches to what I figured would be on the 19s. Planes were coming in almost as if they were on an OAK arrival from the north, but at lower altitude, and then they made their right turns a couple of minutes after flying overhead.

Thanks for the report!
