BoomTown Flew Under the Golden Gate Bridge, So You Don't Have To!

I have no reason to post this video, other than it is a super-cool use for my little digital video camera. My family and two friends took a helicopter ride all over the San Francisco area Sunday and this is the roller-coaster part where we fly over–and, then under–the Golden Gate Bridge.

And yes, that’s my 5-year-old son saying afterward: “Do it again.”

BoomTown would rather just relive it digitally. See here:

    Very cool! I didn’t realized it was legal for helicopters to fly under the bridge. Or maybe your pilot did a Larry Ellison…(who was rumored to have flown a jet under the bridge).

    BTW – you were tough on those RockYou guys!

    It is! And doing a Larry Ellison would have entailed buzzing City Hall.

    But what’s with interjecting RockYou here? Lance, in fact, dissed me on a panel! In any case, I think Jia and Lance are really sharp, but it is not my job to cheerlead for these startups.

The hackers and engineers of Y Combinator are doing what hackers and engineers do to any industry, they’re efficiently and ruthlessly disrupting the traditional model of venture capital and are going to destroy far more more wealth for their contemporaries than they create for themselves, as broadband did to entertainment, Craigslist did to newspapers, and Amazon did to traditional retailers.
