Doug - I watched their practice on Friday from my office window. Meanwhile, libs in my office b*****d and moaned about the waste, the noise, etc. You could almost feel sorry for people who can’t find joy in anything.

And the practice alone was bringing hundreds of people to the north piers and the Wharf. I remember when the Navy had the Angeles pass on Fleet Week - it was a complete bust in the City. That’s why when the moonbat Supervisors shoot off their mouths, they get the smackdown from the business interests. But the looney left LOOOOVES them!

Wow! I’m surprised that San Franciscans didn’t raise an alarm or demand that the US Navy stop this encrouchment on their air space or some such nonsense. BTW, I saw the Blue Angels years ago and I was totally impressed.

I’ve braved the crowds and traffic to go to these in the past but given the surrender-crats attitude towards the military in the Bay Area I decided to boycott them this year. Yeah, I know...big deal. The money I would have spent there won’t be missed but couple that with my e-mail to the city and my spouting off here perhaps in years to come we can make them think about it. Plus, after watching the Thunderbirds at Nellis AFB for two of my four years in the AF I’m a bit prejudiced that the AF is better than the squids anyway!

DFU, my wife an I went to Salinas this year to watch the Blue Angles. I’ve seen them in Seattle, SFO and now in Salinas.

They were fantastic in Salinas. They came in right over your head...

In San Francisco, if your lucky, you can watch them from Pier 39 area. Not even close.

In Salinas, there is no bad seat in the house. They fly right down the runway in front of you.

Let them kill the Angles on Fleet Week. Go to the Salinas air show and watch them perform there. Much better.

We used to watch the Blue Angels practice when we’d vacation at Perdido Key FL. They were so awesome.

Great shots Doug. I am looking forward to seeing them Saturday at Kaneohe Air Station here on Oahu. Can’t beat the scenery, hope to get some shots with the Koolau mountains in the background.

Fan-tastic. I used to work on the 39th floor of the BofA and this always was a favorite time of the year for me...

Thankfully, I was surrounded by capitalist pigs at the time (stock and bond brokers) and didn’t have to listen to the simpering moans of the moonbats.

God Bless America, God Bless our troops and thank you, Doug for bringing us these pics bump.
