It was a joy to watch the Blue Angels this past week at Fleetweek in San Francisco. Here was a modified diamond formation with Blue Angels #1, #2, #3, #4, and #7.

We enjoy watching the Blue Angels during the Friday rehearsals. It is less crowded which makes it enjoyable. Watching at Aquatic Park is a great location to watch the air show. We paid to watch the Blue Angels in the Marina. But I think the view at Aquatic Park is better.

I am always amazed how these planes can maneuver together so closely with such precision at high speeds. A lesson can be learned how individuals who have a common goal need to be united to work as one to move effortlessly to achieve.

What goal do you want to focus on? It is always better to be in a team to work together to achieve a goal. Working closely with good communication is the key to moving together as one.

Hope you can be reminded by this photo how a unified team makes it easier to obtain a goal.

Photos Inspire!

F-22 Raptor U.S. Air Force Stealth Fighter

This is a photograph from the Fleet Week Air Show Rehearsal on Friday, October 7, 2016.   I love looking at aircraft.  I don’t really like reading, but I love my books about aircraft.  I am fascinated with the facts about these fighter jets.  I can remember all these interesting details.

I am grateful that our country has developed these fighter jets to protect our freedom.  I am also grateful for the Blue Angels and the other pilots who risk their lives to fight for us and become experts at flying these fighters.

I can spend endless hours watching these fighter jets.  The Blue Angels and these other pilots inspire all of us to seek excellence in whatever we do.  Our military are responsible for protecting our freedoms, so we can pursue to be the best!

Below is a link to learn about the U.S. Air Force’s next fighter jet.

Blue Angels 1, 2, 3, and 7 flying in a tight stacked formation during Fleetweek San Francisco this weekend. It is amazing how they can fly so precisely in close formations and doing it safely.

Blue Angels in the Diamond formation approaching from the Marin County side of the San Francisco Bay towards Aquatic Park in San Francisco. The weather was perfect in the low 70’s with a slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky. Love to go out every year during Fleetweek to watch them.

Let’s Get Close – Blue Angels

Notice this is showing Blue Angel F-18 Hornets #1 to #4 in close formation during the the San Francisco Fleet week event.  They flew very close to each other  – within 18 inches of each other.

I love seeing these choreographed maneuvers.  I appreciate the expertise of these pilots.  I shoot at a high shutter speed at 1/4000 of a second to get tact sharp images.  These photographs have not been altered.  These pilots are an example  to us of seeking excellence  in their skill.  We each need to be the best at whatever we do.

F-22 Raptor Air Superiority Stealth Fighter

We had a great time attending the Fleet Week Air Show Rehearsal on Friday, October 7, 2016.  Last year, we bought tickets for the reserved seating in the Marina.  This year we watched the show at Aquatic Park which is a popular area to view the Air Show.  It is nice to bring your own chairs or just sit on the terraced concrete seats.  The weather was perfect, and the sky was just a little hazy.  But we are thankful it was not a typical San Franciscan foggy day.  So there were no restrictions in the flight plans.

I had to shoot a higher shutter speed which required me to use a higher ISO film speed to catch the fast moving planes.  I also used a high speed compact flash memory card to keep up with the rapid firing of my camera.

Many were shooting with their cell phones like my wife.  They are good pictures but you cannot zoom in as close to see the detail of the planes.  You can see my wife’s short video clips of the Blue Angels on our Twitter account – @untouchtcphoto

Thank you for all the expert military and civilian pilots who flew this weekend to show their skill in flying.  We appreciate their service and sacrifice.  One phrase, my wife heard during the air show was — “Freedom requires Sacrifice”.   We are blessed to be free, and forever grateful to our military forces.
