FYI...the FARs state that you cannot proximate yourself closer than 1000' to any person or manmade structure in any populated area. There are special exemptions for airshows, but I don't think the GGB falls under this particular exemption.

Again, I approve of this guy having fun, and I bet most of the people on the bridge approved. A small minority were probably on their phones immediately.

Short story: I put myself through college building time, and building Lancairs and Glassiars. I have a fair amount of seat time upside down. Where I worked in the late summer...there was a tanker base. Every time the Orion flew out with a full load the tower would get flooded with calls about a low flying aircraft. His question in return would always be: "did it have a bright red tail?"
