BoomTown Flew Under the Golden Gate Bridge, So You Don’t Have To!

I have no reason to post this video, other than it is a super-cool use for my little digital video camera. My family and two friends took a helicopter ride all over the San Francisco area Sunday and this is the roller-coaster part where we fly over–and, then under–the Golden Gate Bridge.

And yes, that’s my 5-year-old son saying afterward: “Do it again.”

BoomTown would rather just relive it digitally. See here:

  1. Very cool! I didn’t realized it was legal for helicopters to fly under the bridge. Or maybe your pilot did a Larry Ellison…(who was rumored to have flown a jet under the bridge).

    BTW – you were tough on those RockYou guys!

  3. It is! And doing a Larry Ellison would have entailed buzzing City Hall.

    But what’s with interjecting RockYou here? Lance, in fact, dissed me on a panel! In any case, I think Jia and Lance are really sharp, but it is not my job to cheerlead for these startups.
