Blue Angel's over SF Bay(PICS)

[Duck44]

This past weekend San Francisco hosted Fleet Week. I went Friday afternoon to check out the practice. The crowd was treated to a special fly-by of the new Airbus. Its hard to explain how huge this plane is:






Onto the main show.






Over downtown SF







It was unreal how close these plane buzzed by


One of my favorite pics,











Went back Sunday and took photo's of the airshow from the Golden Gate Bridge. I was in awe how close they came to the bridge. Those photo's to come soon.......

Check back!

Re: Blue Angel's over SF Bay(PICS)

Went back Sunday and so did a few sailboats,






Old school and new school,


These people watched the show in style,


Other boats in the bay,


and the Coast Guard all over the place,


Not sure who these were but the red, white and blue was a nice touch.






From the bridge we could see the Blue Angels sneaking around the Marin Headlands to make their entrance in over Angel Island,


Very very cool,




Notice the two people standing on top of the tower,









All kinds were out in the bay



The money shot,


Imagine seeing this while driving,


It was difficult to get a good pic....cause they're jets.

Fleet Week is a pretty awesome event. Went to it one year with family and loved it. I was in Redwood City on Sunday, surprised I didn't hear them at all.

Very cool pictures Duck. I love the picture over Downtown SF. I can hear the Blue Angel's sound through your pictures.


Thanks for sharing.

Very cool pictures!!!
The A380 did a fly by at the Wichita airport on Thursday morning. We have an Airbus engineering office here, so the fly by was a tribute to them. All the engineers loaded up on busses and went out the the airport to watch the plane fly by. They were all very excited to see their work.

Whenever the Blue Angels come to Wichita for an airshow, they always practice for a couple of days ahead of the actual show. They fly right over where I work since we are located next to McConell Air Force base. Man are they loud!!! It's like getting to watch the show for 3 days instead of one. They always sound like they are going to come right through our building! But it's pretty cool to be able to watch them and not have to contend with the crowds at the actual show.

SICK PICS!!! I remember seeing this a couple years ago standing at the edge of peir 39. The deceiving noise from wher you think the plane is vs. where it's really at!

Love the money shot!

Re: Blue Angel's over SF Bay(PICS)

Those are awesome!!! Loved the Sail boats. Looked like it was a perfect day for Blue Angels.

Re: Blue Angel's over SF Bay(PICS)

It makes my day to see the money shot get so much attention.

I had a doctor take an x-ray of my ankle once and said "time for the money shot" just before leaving the room. I couldn't stop laughing.

Pretty Ironic. On the day you saw the Blue Angels, my Angels Blew. Small world after all.
