I've tried to drive across the bridges, but it doesn't work.  It looks
like you start driving up the ramp, but then you "fall through" the
bridge deck back onto the ground.  You can then look up and see the
bottom of the bridge.

The Golden Gate bridge, at least, isn't a real obstacle.  You can
fly right through it without harm.  I think this is true of the
other bridges as well.

I've also landed on the carrier sub.  I laughed out loud when they
refueled and rearmed my plane for me.  I guess the Russians are
stealing a better class of weapons these days.

I've landed on the US carrier with the F-16 (the one without the
arrestor hook).  You just have to cut all power and stomp on the
brake real quick.

I heard somewhere that all Electronic Arts games contain in them the
three solids that they use for a logo:  the sphere, the pyramid, and 
the cube.  Anyone know if the rumor is true?  If so, the only one I
have found in F-18 is the pyramid in the form of the mountains.
