Blue Angels, San Francisco Fleet Week 2007

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

The Blue Angels are once again in San Francisco and performing at Fleet Week 2007. I always enjoy photographing the Blue Angels as its a real challenge. If you’re in the San Francisco bay area the Blue Angels will be performing at 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
