@cabel that pilot had skills!
@cabel Indy’s back, baby!
@cabel Not exactly the highest of bridges to pull that maneuver under…
@cabel Looking at his climb I feel the correct decision was made.
Dip, fly under, and awaaaay...
Avoid the more than likely mess on the side of this bridge.
@cabel Those two facts may be related. Given how close the bridges are to each other, it might be difficult to take off without such acrobatics.
@cabel Long way from the sea, little seaplane!
N182KQ is assigned, for what it's worth:

we live in a post government world apparently. Billionaires can do anything while the rest of us are punished for jaywalking or holding a sign.
@cabel woah. Probably not good but so cool
@cabel Woooow. I don't know if there's a specific FAA reg against that, but that definitely falls under 91.13 careless and reckless operation
@cabel someone was having themself a little fun, wow. What a sight! Cool! And kind of scary!
@cabel @LabSpokane Kind of reminds me of my job interview for flying helicopters at the Grand Canyon. They asked me about the craziest thing I'd ever done in a helicopter. When I told them I'd flown under a bridge, there was dead silence. Then they all laughed. I got the job.
