Click through for more. Guy took some great shots of San Fran, all planes and no hippies. Solid.

What a waste of money for the pleasure of the idiots who sent us the plague of Pelosi. Now that San Francisco has made it clear it wouldn't sully itself with the Iowa the Navy should get a clue and discontinue Fleet Week. And if Feinstein doesn't like it tell her to alliterate herself.

This video above is by far the most awesome thing I have ever seen the Blue Angels do. I only wish they would do such a thing when they swing by neck of the woods.

Just guessing but I believe this was during the last Fleet Week. If true there was no more suitable F-U pansies to all those along the bay who tried to have Fleet Week denied.

"Does anyone remember when the Blues flew F-4s?"

I saw the Blues in Phantoms twice at Kaneohe, and the Thunderbirds in them at Hickam and Barksdale. (To give you an idea how far back I go with this stuff: I saw the Blues in F11-F1 Tigers and the T'birds in F-100's.)

The Phantoms were the tip-top, for both teams. And, yes: there is nothing in the world like the blast of twin J-79's. That was astounding, every single time.
