I dunno, until they retired their 747s last year, United used to use one for a flyover of San Francisco as part of the Navy’s “fleet week” thing. I am not really sure how United, a private airline, got involved in that, but seeing a close 747 flyby of the Golden Gate Bridge was kinda neat. I guess it was easier to overlook the unpleasant militarist dickwaving vibes with a passenger airliner…
