Fleet Week

After a completely busy and crazy week, guess what we all have to look forward to this weekend? Oh ok, so I already gave it away…but it’s Fleet Week in San Francisco! I love Fleet Week…well more specifically, I love the Blue Angels.

The Blue Angels practice flights start on tomorrow afternoon and I guess I’ll be finding myself on the roof of my building for most of it. Other air show participants begin practicing on Friday afternoon and all the air shows take place this weekend…too bad I won’t be in the City on Friday or Saturday. That truly is a shame since I think I missed the practice sessions and shows last year too.

You know, even if you were one of those people who spends every year complaining about the noise and commotion due to Fleet Week and the Blue Angels, you’d still have to admit that watching them perform (or even practice) is pretty awe-inspiring. They are just so cool to watch. Now, I wouldn’t pay for a grandstand seat to watch the Blue Angels, since there are plenty of other spots around the City that I can get perfectly good views of the Blue Angels for free. But it’s still awesome to watch the Blue Angels when they come into town.

So people, bring out your cameras, put your ear plugs in, and tilt your head up towards the sky and let’s all enjoy the Blue Angels.
