On Saturday we went to San Francisco to watch the aircraft fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a nice picnic a Crissy Field. Solar Impulse was flying quite high, a red helicopter was circling it to take photos. The solar aircraft landed at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California.

 

Founders Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg want us to use more clean energies. Or in their word, push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!

 

The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.
