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.

We love Fleetweek with the Blue Angels in San Francisco. I’ve tried various locations down by the waterfront to shoot pictures of the Blue Angels flying. I’ve decided I enjoy Aquatic Park by Ghirardelli Square for photographing the Blue Angels. I feel like I am at central stage watching their expert maneuvers. It is also nice to have Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
We annually go on Friday when the Blue Angels do their practice show. I don’t enjoy crowds, and am seeking security for my camera equipment. Friday was the perfect day to watch the Blue Angels since the weather was great.
I love the tight formation of Blue Angels 1, 2, 3 and 7. I’m glad I shot the Blue Angels flying past our American flag. This truly represents the character of these men who risk their lives to protect our country and are dedicated to being the best pilots. The Blue Angels are examples to all of us who sacrifice to achieve precision and excellence.

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.

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.
