Yeah. We're gonna say it: We love Fleet Week!
While we never really understood the whole "Airshow Practice" the Blue Angels traditionally hold on Thursday and Friday afternoons, (are we not supposed to look lest we spoil the surprise of the big weekend show?) we appreciate that they do actually, you know, practice. Come Saturday and Sunday, we will hit our rooftops in gleeful anticipation of the show ahead. Maybe it's because we matured in the decade of Top Gun. Maybe it's the sheer, jaw-dropping skill of those pilots. Or maybe we just have a death wish. Whatever it is, the Blue Angels set our peacenik, anti-war hearts aflutter. But it's not just the Blue Angels that make us love Fleet Week. We also love all the other air show acrobatics over the Bay. And the sight of those ships crossing the Golden Gate? Lovely. But the one thing we love the most about Fleet Week?
Sailors.
