Plan MDF is my own invention. I can try to put a map together based
on what's already available for the "real" plans (BX, F3, etc).

Jeff has a good point though... putting the new east-west runway
further west would make a bigger noise issue for San Bruno residents.
That's probably why they put it so far out to begin with.

We need to learn more about airports. It seems to me that at SFO
planes mostly land from the east and take off to the north so that the
flight path is over the bay as much as possible. The biggest noise
problem is from planes taking off to the west over San Bruno. I think
these are only the larger planes (747s, L1101s, etc) that need the
longer east-west runway and the prevailing headwind. Perhaps if they
lengthen the north-south runway into the bay, then the larger planes
could take off and land over the bay and noise would be much less of
an issue.
