The first United Airlines nonstop flight to San Francisco from Tampa International Airport gets a water arch salute for its sendoff Thursday afternoon. The daily United flights fill a long-standing desire to connect Tampa Bay entrepreneurs to the tech capital of the world in Silicon Valley. Airport officials have said the route is one of the most in-demand in the country and has been the airport's top domestic priority for some time.
