I have commuted between Burbank and the Bay Area on SW on a more or less weekly basis for the past 13 years which means I have flown about 500 times and driven maybe a dozen times or so. There was one period of over 5 years I didn't drive at all and when I did I remembered why not.

On the original subject RWY 8 downwind is the norm. I wonder how long the touchdown was as the usual technique seems to be smash it on with landings you don't get elsewhere and then stand it on its nose even allowing for a possible LAHSO. Makes for some excitement in my usual seat on the back row.

Because of the terrain and terminal location adjacent the runway 33 and certainly 26 are rarely if ever used. Maybe if you are a helicopter. In my 'unsecure' spam can 15 was the only option as they think you will be contaminating the secure area even taxiing near the terminal at the end of 8.
