PILOT BUTTERS THE RUNWAY IN SANTA ROSA! GORGEOUS BAY AREA ARRIVAL + ATC

Experience a scenic and smooth landing into Santa Rosa (STS) on Alaska Airlines Flight AS3433 / SKW841W, operated by SkyWest Airlines. This enhanced version of the original upload includes a longer approach segment and features a single-camera view for a clean, uninterrupted perspective from Seat 4A on the Embraer 175 (N177SY).

This flight from Orange County / John Wayne Airport (SNA) to Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) showcases some of the most beautiful aerial views in Northern California — including the San Francisco Bay salt ponds, Downtown San Francisco skyline, Sausalito, and the rolling terrain of Sonoma County.

With clear and crisp audio from NorCal Approach and KSTS Tower, this video captures the full ATC-guided descent, flap extensions, base-to-final turn for Runway 14, and a smooth touchdown right into wine country. Filmed with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, the footage is stable, vivid, and perfect for aviation lovers and window-seat fans alike.

This is a slightly extended version of a previous video I posted of our flight landing in Santa Rosa. The other difference is that this is a single camera version which differs from the previous video that showed two camera angles.
