I was looking for that column, thanks. A black day for Morford and Daly.

FR thread from 2002.

I saw the Blue Angels on a July 4 a few years ago. I just left a message for Daly. My son lives there, and I’ve probably vacationed there 15 times. I stop there whenever I’m in the area. If the Blue Angels are banned, my son is going to have to visit me because I will never set foot in the city again. I left my name and phone to discuss it with him.

Fools do not realize the sound of FREEDOM whenever they hear it!

THE SOUND OF FREEDOM! I LOVE JET NOISE!

I love that movie! The criterion collection is pretty cool. I even borrowed a little from Hummel’s speech when I had a showdown with a commie lib supervisor one time. It was fun seeing him sweat for once. I doubt he will screw over any veterans anytime soon. Good riddance.

Even the soundtrack gets some play from time to time.

This is all just an initiative to get the Angels to change their aircraft color to Pink.

To fly in Ciscan Franso, they need to be the, "Pink Angels."

Well, we must have walked past each other back then. (grin)

I spent a LOT of time in the Financial District - actually ducked into a doorway across Market Street from the Palace. I remember seeing pieces of plaster falling of the exterior. If it weren’t for the World Series, I would have been on Muni instead of walking to Fifth Street, watching my little Watchman TV. I still remember seeing the Ferry Terminal’s crooked flag pole.

I've seen that before, only headed towards emeryville. As we got off the boat after the show, one flew over at 150-200' out towards the bay, diamonds in the exhaust. The sound didn't arrive until the aircraft had passed. The feeling of overpressure was like being slapped with a heavy pillow, almost painful. As the plane crossed the waterfront it began trailing a white fan of condensation.

It was such a beautiful and fantastic event, I will always remember it.

That would be a money maker.
