I am a bit remiss in posting these photos from San Francisco’s Fleet Week in October. (Veterans Day guilt finally kicked me into gear.)
Taken over four glorious days, all three air shows (plus one practice) went off without a single fog-out. (We cut things pretty close with Sunday’s final performance, though.)
While the Blue Angels could never be described as “boring”, the crowd on our rooftop was happy to see some new choreography this year.
Several maneuvers induced unfortunate 9/11 flashbacks for some — the United Airlines jet flying low over the Bay was terrifying — but on the upside, panic is a great way to boost your cardio without even moving your feet! Just look up, and enjoy the fun.
With the Blue Angels, you are in excellent hands…
