Golden Flight! What an incredible day, Solar Impulse high above the Golden Gate Bridge, gently hovering over the architectural masterpiece for all to see. We've been talking about this exploit for weeks, but seeing the first shots of the solar bird above San Francisco goes beyond what we had imagined: spectacular!

The Solar Impulse, created by explorer Bertrand Piccard and engineer André Borschberg, can only fly when the weather is perfect. And it is endeavoring to make a cross-country flight from San Francisco to JFK Airport in New York City.
