The honorary co-pilot and official flight photographer.

A nice view of the city of San Francisco from 4500 feet.

We had a nice view of the Bay Bridge going over to Oakland. It was too cloudy to see the Golden Gate Bridge.

Flying directly over San Francisco International, we had a great view of a United 747 landing just as another 747 was taking off right underneath us.
