Blue Angels Air Show

October 8th, 2007

This past weekend on Sunday, Shank, Didi and I took the Bart up to the city to check out San Francisco’s famous Air Show which we had heard so much about.. And it totally lived up to it’s reputation.. We were treated with amazing stunts by various aircrafts including the Blue Angels.. A set of 6 Boeing Hornets performing absolutely crazy stunts in the air right above the bay water and right next to the Golden Gate bridge.. The best according to all 3 of us was the Sonic Boom that one of the planes created.. A Sonic Boom is a phenomenon which is created in the air when the plane crosses the threshold of the speed of sound.. There is a round ring of smoke that is created the moment the plane crosses the threshold, and it’s quite an exciting thing to watch.. Unfortunately I couldn’t capture it on video, but you can see one here http://youtube.com/watch?v=-d9A2oq1N38. I did however manage to get some awesome crossover stunts by the planes… Here are some Pics
