In this fantastic aerial photograph by Todd Lappin, we see the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) as it looked in 2006. In the foreground is the original mid-1950’s terminal building and control tower. It was later used as the International Terminal and then went unused for a period of time. In 2008 it underwent a $383 million renovation and the terminal reopened (as Terminal 2) on April 14, 2011, with Virgin America and American Airlines sharing the new 14-gate facility.

SFO is the second busiest in California after LAX and is located 13 miles (21km) south of downtown San Francisco. The airport first opened on May 7, 1927. [Source]
