Description:
The Perrine Bridge at Twin Falls is about 500’ above the water. It is one of the few places where you can base jump without a permit. That’s probably why Evel Knievel chose it for his failed flying motorcycle test.

So what does it look like from below? I mean, really, so long as there isn't anyone with a parachute standing on the edge of the bridge, how could you resist?

Hm. Could it be legal to fly under a bridge that is, say, 600 feet above the water?

Technically, Don, you could make the argument that applicable FAA regulations permit passing that close to people or structures as long as you are 'landing or taking off.' Practically, however, I'd bet you'd get a letter referencing the 'careless and reckless' clause (at least that is what happened to the one seaplane pilot I have heard of doing the below bridge thing). Apparently some bureaucrats have no sense of adventure
