One of the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angel pilots recently flew right over the Golden Gate Bridge during rush hour, and the moment was perfectly caught on camera by a fan.
Tiburon, California, resident Rich Shelton captured Lt. Cmdr. David Tickle fly his F/A-18 right above San Francisco traffic Oct. 9 during Fleet Week.
“They don’t always make many passes between the towers, so I was very lucky to catch this shot with my relatively slow camera!” Mr. Shelton told Navy Times.
Navy Times reached out to Blue Angels for comment and was assured that all necessary safety precautions were taken prior to the flight.

I think it was Richard Bong, the top scoring ace of WWII, who did a loop around the Golden gate Bridge.

Well Jimmy Doolittle flew under the Bay Bridge. That is how intense the training was to fly low.

A few of those idiots up there have complained about the Blue Angels show in past years. You can’t fix stupid, I guess.

Too bad he was not supersonic, that would have shaken things up and loosened a few bowels.
