    This thought points to the 73 deg pass at 5:56 AM PST Friday morning, not
    including the fact it is running early..
    
    This appears to me to be the straightest shot, and coincidentally, the best
    pass for me.. Which means it will be clouded out..

    Just a wild a-- guess but I would bet on a straight in over the ocean on
    runway 12.  If not straight in, they can do their velocity bleed offs over
    the ocean and still bring it in on 12.
     
    I would also be surprised if they are using MLS, I bet it will be on a GPS
    glideslope just as soon as it gets aerodynamic.
     
    I can't imagine the AF taking a chance and flying a typical "shuttle"
    approach over populated area.
