Helicopter Pilots Stay out from under the Bridge!
Helicopter pilots are cautioned to stay out from under the Vincent
Thomas Bridge. New construction on the bridge requires cables that
hang down to the water. These cables move from time to time and
can be difficult to see.
I've seen helicopters flying under the Golden Gate Bridge several
times. On a flight a few weeks ago, my friend/passenger got some
great shots of one going under and then over the bridge with his
Canon 30D and mega-zoom lens, but he hasn't posted them to his
website yet.
I guess this is another area where helicopters have different
rules...
