Weekend: SF Fleet Week

This weekend a special event was scheduled, the SF fleet week. The whole thing started at Thursday, as the Blue Angels (similar to the Patrouille Suisse, but flying with F/A 18s) did some survey flights over the city. The following day they started to practice for the airshow at the weekend, so there was a lot of action in the airspace over the city.

Saturday we headed for Pier 39, near there we watched the show, it was absolutely amazing. The first aerobatic team was the "Snowbirds", nine canadian military pilots performing crazy stunts and formations... Before the Blue Angels flew, some other pilots showed their skills, mostliy alone.

The Blue Angels are the United States Navy's Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron... they're even better than the Patrouille Suisse. The stunts were breathtakingly. They flew in supine position, head-crossed with insane speed, performed perfect loops in formation and so on... I recommend to google it and take a look at some videos.

Nevertheless I post some cool pictures I made:
