More #airshow pix from 1983. #blueangels were in the A-4 back then. Friday dry run and Saturday big show all mixed up. You can tell which is which because Friday was cloudy.

The first 4 catch air just as they pass
Number 5 makes a very sharp (gulp) turn “nearby,”
Following number 5 as he polishes the roof of B245.

The Blue Angels are unnervingly precise. They have to be. I learned that it is easier for them to fly in tight formation found to be far apart. And when I say “Tate formation,“ I mean 18 inches away from the next vehicle.

From Seafair in Seattle last weekend.

A Blue Angel FA-18 Super Hornet creating a condensation envelope as it flies by at 700MPH (just under Mach 1) only 50 feet off the waters of Lake Union:

REMINDER:

IS TODAY!

And by that, I mean the Hydros.

The hydro races.

And all that entails...

They will NOT be closing the I90 bridge today.

😱

State Patrol are "urging drivers using I-90 during the airshow to be attentive and not distracted"

Uh. Yeah ok.

They also want to remind you that "it is illegal to stop on the bridge to watch the show"

Right. That'll work.

🤦

Don't say you weren't warned.

Blue Angels II

In order to fly in the Blue Angels an officer must have a minimum of 1,250 tactical-jet flight hours. The lead officer or Boss requires 3,000 hours.
They fly 6, FA-18's and at points flirt with the sound barrier. This image shows four of the 6 jets flying in tight formation over the San Francisco Bay.

Blue Angels and the Bridge

A tradition that is enjoyed by many is the mostly annual visit of the Blue Angels and Fleet Week on the San Francisco Bay.
The Blue Angels typically fly a practice run on Friday and then perform Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.
Here I have captured the Blue Angels flying past the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/blue-angels-and-the-bridge-bill-gallagher.html
