Interesting. I've always wanted to check out the SFO approach. Perhaps others can do it for us.
I have never flown SFO, but have flown into and out of San Jose and that was pretty wacky because they have to basically corkscrew up to avoid SFO traffic, so you get to see the entire Bay Area twice from two different altitudes.

Actually there is no departure or arrival procedure at SJC that involves any unusual flying techniques. There is a maximum altitude limitation to avoid arrivals at SFO on a couple of the departure procedures.

Well, he wasn't doing aerobatics or anything, but we definitely made a big circle as we took off. Maybe it was not the typical scenario, but the pilot commented to us that we would be able to see San Francisco twice.
Some time ago our JAL flight into Singapore carried a forward looking camera that showed our night time landing on the seat back video screens. Impressive at night.
