GREAT pictures you've presented again EMB.

I had hope to get over to San Francisco for "Fleet Week", but the weather kept me away - I was under it.

Sunday evening, The Blue Angels may have flown overhead. Heard the roar of jets, saw a faint image in the distance of either birds or jet aircraft, but the sound was awesome.
