SF Bay Tour
Fly the SF Bay Tour!

San Francisco Bay Tour Overview
The San Francisco Bay area tour is one of the most scenic routes to fly in the world.  In approximately an hour, you can fly next to or over landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, Treasure Island, downtown San Francisco, SF International airport, several working lighthouses and more.   Best of all, it can be flown by the average pilot who has a good knowledge or radio communications, airspace regulations, and the preferred routes.  

There is no one precise Bay Tour route, though there are preferred routes and altitudes at which air traffic control generally expects you to fly.  If you want a different route or altitude, just request it, and they'll try to accommodate you if possible.
