Just a few pictures from the Fleet Week Air show in San Fran at the weekend.

This is the Blue Angles with the Golden Gate in the background.




This aircraft is known as Fat Albert it is #7 Blue Angel, flying over Alcatraz



The two passing F16's get real close, yes this is two aircraft.



Flying low over the water passing Alcatraz



A few more here

Great shots! I wanted to go up with some friends from work, but had other things going on over the weekend. Thanks for sharing..

P.S. slight friendly correction...the blue angels fly F/A-18s, not F-16s as described in picture #3. No biggie..but just FYI.

The first shot with the bridge as the back-drop is really sweet. Nice.

Great Shots
Great Shots!!

Air Shows can be quite addictive and once you get a hang of shooting fast moving aircraft, it can be quite fun.

The Blue Angels one of the top aerobatic teams in the world.

Good Stuff !!
