I've been in/out of there a number of times in Globals and Challengers--it's a mad rush of A320s and B737s, but most of the flights are shuttles to São Paulo (45-ish minutes) or perhaps other destinations within similar distances. Watching them operate off that short runway without overruns and tiny ramps is impressive.
I live near KCRQ. Lots of high-end biz jets there. You've probably been there. 4,897' runway almost at sea level and usually on the cool side for Southern California. When an operator I am familiar with wants to make long trips in their Gulstreams, they have to position at KSAN, then fuel up and load up there.
