For those interested, SFO has a visual departure procedure known as the "Bay Tour" which can be requested from Clearance Delivery. If approved tower will issue departure instructions off Rwy 1 or 28 to "follow the coastline north, remain offshore, maintain 3000' and 200 kts, at the golden gate bridge turn left heading 180 and climb to 10,000 ft. A GA departure frequency is assigned and I've never heard another plne on it. Adds a few minutes and burns a little extra gas, but the view is spectacular, the pax (on the left side) love it, and its a rare chance to do some fun flying.
