The first plane was a solo and he just flew around and did a couple of different manoverves. The plane is the F-18 Hornet.
One last fly past the bridge and it was on to the next one.
The next one was a pair of helicopters that flew past and dropped a couple of scuba divers in the water. Unfortunately they were too far away for me to get a good photo of.
There were a pair of F-16 Fighting Falcons on next.
They were fairly boring.
Next up was Tim Weber from Geico, who flipped his aircraft around the sky.
He was a bit too far away and we walked closer.
Next were the Patriots who were colourful but lacklustre.
They were flying in the Aero L-39 Albatros, a Czechoslovakian jet trainer.
There was another aerobatics demonstration.
A flyby by a United 747.
Then a quick performance by "Fat Albert", the Blue Angels support aircraft.
And onto the Blue Angels themselves.
They were amazing precise and very, very close together.
The other two were doing flyby in between stunts by the main four.
My favourite photo.
They got lower than any of the other aircraft.
Second favorite photo.
Pulling some serious g-forces.
Not the Blue Angels. (Pelican Angels ?!?)
One last group flyby and the show was over.
We rode back to John's and went for a walk to see the ship nearby.
And a couple of the serious gentlemen getting their photos taken with a
The light on the Bay bridge was good.
And the ship now had it's fairy lights on.
Lots more photos here, if you haven't had enough. ;)
