You can do it for real. Just don't count on the FAA letting
you keep
your certificate!

BTW, it is perfectly legal to fly under the Golden Gate.
Just use a
helicopter. The SFO sightseeing helicopter flights go under and then
over the Golden Gate.

Call me chicken, but that's a little low for me. What about MSA's? I
know, I know, it's a helo, but still.....

After I went on the flight, I looked it up in the FARs. Helos are
exempt from the MSA's that fixed wing pilot's need to obey.

FAR § 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

(d) Helicopters. Helicopters may be operated at less than the minimums
prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section if the operation is
conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface. In
addition, each person operating a helicopter shall comply with any routes
or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the Administrator.
