Headed down the Embarcadero to the Marina today to find a spot to watch the Navy ships parade and the air show immediately after. Been to a few air shows, can’t recall one that was in a more beautiful place. Thankfully Supervisor Chris Daly didn’t get his way and the Blue Angels were able to perform and wow the crowd as usual…
Aquatic Park got packed pretty quickly, with people laying on the grass or sitting on the break wall to catch a good shot of the planes flying by.
Don’t know when the next time I’ll be able to see a Stealth Bomber fly over Alcatraz will be…
Video of the Blue Angels performing their trickery…
Update: The SFist has some amazing pictures that put these to shame here, along with an interesting commentary on whether or not San Francisco can still be considered a ‘Navy town’. Click on the slide show for some almost-freakishly-cool shots of the event.
