AG,Here is info. for this year's. http://www.military.com/fleetweek The best way to go is to go very early in the a.m. and snag your spot along the waterfront, and bring a picnic lunch. You'd probably end up on the SF side of the bay since you're coming from south, and I'd end up on the Marin side, coming from north. Note in one of the pics, that the Headlands are jammed packed with people and cars. IP: Logged |

I'd be coming from the east, but I have no interest in the shows. I've never gone to one since I've lived here.IP: Logged |

Glad you liked the pics guys  . Really these shows kinda gives a new prespective as to how far mankind has evolved in aviation since the Hot Air balloon Lol!Oh there is this really sexy paint scheme coming out for the Northern station fighters called the "Artic Aggressor" paint scheme. Right now its only a few F-16s that are getting the paint job but we can expect it to be applied to other fighters as well in the future. So for you Fighter enthusisits out there:

Thank you for that! When I was a kid the Angels used to fly over the house practically every day. The sound is quite distinctive. Flyer's are basically nutz. Great sense of humor. Fat Albert..   IP: Logged |
