A little airborne Viagra with your coffee, anyone? Here are a few shots from yesterday's practice aerial acrobatics. Fleet Week, for those of you who don't know, starts tomorrow.
Enjoy.
Also, please stayed tuned to SFist, where later this afternoon we'll share our interview with Blue Angels pilot Lt. Mark Swinger.




What a great shot! With the possible exception of the military/corporate iconography, those are two very beautiful aircraft.
That last photo is unreal! Nice work.
Personally, I like the military iconography. Makes it even better. Fly Navy!
A couple of those guys were on KUSF this morning. Really interesting interview.
Amazing shots!
I snagged a pic of the Blue Angles blasting past another SF landmark yesterday too.
