I plan to take a vacation in the San Francisco bay area.

Thanks!

I've flown in the early morning on the east side of San Francisco and near the ballpark. Now that baseball season is over there shouldn't be any temporary flight restrictions due to the games. I would also use the Airmap app to verify your locations so you aren't taking off from a national park if you go towards the marina and the Golden Gate Bridge.  If you take off from treasure island you can get some good shots of both the old and the new span of the Bay Bridge. I plan on going back soon to catch some cargo ships passing under the old span.  Hope that helps.

Have you done any flying out over the water looking back through the GG bridge with the city in the BG?

Can you fly any where over the water looking back at the city?

Great shots...thanks for sharing!

I read where Willy just passed away recently.  He was a big fav of mine as well.

Shots of the stadium were great...with the city in the BG.  Terrific stuff!

You've inspired me!

The fly over his statues is one of my favorite parts of the video.  Cool! I look forward to your work.
