Fleet Week Impressions

I finally made my way to the Fleet Week air show this Saturday after being in the bay area for over 10 years.  I wish I could have stayed longer at the show.  This time, I was not admiring nature per se, rather the human feat of creating amazing flying machines and those pilots’ ability to fly them.  There are teams creating celebratory writings by their contrails; there are teams flying in spectacular formations that literally leave great impressions in the sky;  there are pairs performing precision cross-overs and showing their “loving hearts” to the spectators; and there are solos causing roaring cheers through their daredevil verticals.  Here are just a few shots I took, hoping that you enjoy them as well.  Regardless how fast you’ve driven your cars or how many times you’ve flown in a commercial jets, I bet being in these planes will be very different — much more exhilarating!
