Flying through it is safer than driving around it. There is a traffic circle around it, twelve lanes wide, with twelve streets converging thereon. It's the damnedest piece of traffic engineering I have ever seen.

Seriously, what's up with those people? I'm worried about 'em.

Seen the one of the guy flying a Bonanza under the Eiffel Tower?
Serious question. Was that a sanctioned stunt, or the early 20th century version of Youtube hooning videos?

C.M.: Sure did! Bet he didn't get invited back.
JDR: Totally unsanctioned. The (linked) backstory is fascinating.
Cool! I had seen stills of that, but never the film footage.
I flew an F/A-18 under the Gov. Thomas Johnson bridge near NAS Patuxent River MD.
In the simulator. I'm not completely crazy.
That is probably the first time it was done.
Then there was the RAF guy who did the same during WWII, and strafed a German government office/barracks, despite the large NAZI flag hung from it...
