Fleet Week 2005!

Every year in SF during the Fleet Week there's a bunch of navy ships that can be visited and an impressing air show that includes stunts with many different airplanes. From the C130 ("Fat Albert" as they call him), to the ultra light ultra maneuverable Team Oracle's airplane that's used in RedBull-like races, including the old-school F16. You get it all there!

This year was particularly interesting because the Blue Angels where showing up after missing the show in the previous year. Check out the pix below! Who wouldn't like to be in one of those cockpits?!


"Fat Albert!"


Sean Tucker (Named one of the 25 "Living Legends of Flight" by the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum) flying Team Oracle's airplane and experiencing from several negative G's to +10G's! (Check Team Oracle here). The most amazing is that the organization of the event broadcasted is voice on the speakers installed in the park and this crazy guy was diving vertically with +10G's and saying jokes at the same time! Mommy, mommy, I want an airplane too!


Finally, the Blue Angels entertained the crowd for about 20 min.
