Is that a plane on approach to 22?

no, it's not a plane. I was standing inside the MALSF approach lights on 4, pre-sunrise.

nope - 13-31 were closed early AM. HINT: It has to do with the approach lights themselves.

And we have TWO WINNERS!

Nice observation the both of you! That's it. Actually, I did not notice that until I was walking to my car, enroute to JFK. Then I double-checked my camera and sure enough - bulb burned out.... I bet none of the pilots even noticed. Who looks there? Their eyes are on the PAPI and their instruments.

I'll bring it up tommorrow, thanks for noting...
