SFist Photo: Choppers Under and Over the GG Bridge

Having just flown under the Golden Gate Bridge, this aging Bell JetRanger flies back low over the road bed and then heads east.

WIth the summer tourist season reaching its height, more and more sightseeing chopper flights are buzzing San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Thusly. Is flying under this bridge legal? Apparently so, because it happens so often these days. Looks like fun. So long as you don't lose power and begin a spiraling decent requiring the Coast Guard to rescue you (or you don't hop in a plane with Senator John Kerry), you should be fine. Happy flying!
