im a canadian living in canada. i dont have the privilage of seeing these guys preform. but watching this video makes me happy in a way only jets, and women can do
Hornet, they're 1,2,3,7 because #7 is a two-seater. Allows them to take next year's boss and other newbie team members up for training purposes. #7 is also used as a back-up for other planes having mechanical issues. Wittman, beautiful footage! Nice work.
I saw the Blue Angels fly in San Diego at Miramar NAS back in '91. I almost got in a damn accident watching them practice while I was driving down the highway. LOL I'd pay good money to ride in one of these babies someday.
Fleet week doesn't belong in SF. I made the mistake of walking on the sidewalk near one of those navy terrorist ships and some 19 year old asshole with an M-16 machine gun in DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO wanted to shoot me because I have dark complexion. THIS IS OUR CITY we don't want white christian psychopaths from Alabama turning it into yet another racist, violent shit hole. If you want to see these killers and their toys, go visit them in some other city.
So happy to have been in san francisco to see this fantastic airshow. Puts the airshows here in australia to shame. Cant wait to come back, i love san fran :)
Mate !! You must be a wizz on that camera .... That is some of the best footage I have seen .. Would you beleive We were on holidays from Australia in San Fran and missed this show by one day ... Really Pi#$ed off when I found out because I have always been amazed by these guys and often watch them on you tube..Thanks for posting this amazing peice of camera work ... Look at other footage and than you will be proud on what you have done !!!! GREAT JOB !!
Excellent! You're the best of all guys recording the blue angels that weekend in San Francisco! Awesome video! I also was in SF on 10/8-10/11, have seen it in front of the closed gate of the municipal pier (end of Van Ness Ave). Your perfect video nearly is better than watching it live, perhaps except sound, live of course unbeatable ;-) Was a great weekend! CU 2011. Do you live in SF?
Great video, but I might suggest that it could have done with more local context. Fleet Week SF is great because of the location, but other than the glorious opening shot through the Golden Gate Bridge, the SF scenery hardly features at all. While technically brilliant, this video could almost have been shot anywhere. If I had your skills and equipment, I might take them to Inspiration Point in the Presidio and shoot the planes from a little further away but with the bay and city as a backdrop.
@stinker43 Keep in mind that BA pilots do not wear G-suits during these shows (not sure why?) so the turns would have to be at a min. I believe a BA pilot died after blacking out at practice, a few years ago.
I was at SFO and watched them take off and land. Alas, I didn't shoot video, I was shooting stills. It might be a blast to have a few of enthusiasts coordinate an amateur video of the blue angels during next year's 2011 Fleet Week. Many cameras rolling from various locations with the audio of the event as a part of the video. Any one up for it?
Great video. I was in SF on 10/9 and took some video but your video far exceeds mine. I was also at the end of Yacht Road. I guess it depends on your camera and skills.... where were you located? What kind of camera were you using?

The time stamp of the video is from last Thursday. Did you film this last Thursday? But I thought they didn't start practicing until Friday. Anyway, the close ups look great.
Great video! They're unbelievable, as always. Sneak pass is hard to get. I"ve tried for several years and always seem it after the pass. Thanks for sharing.
Blue Angel #5 made you look foolish at 11:25 because you weren't paying attention to the sneak pass. Try again on Saturday or Sunday. Great footage otherwise. I saw them last weekend in San Diego.
red arrows would woop there arse into next week ;)
