In addition to the Blue Angels and their support aircraft – dubbed “Fat Albert” – Sunday's program includes the U.S. Navy Parachute Team's anthem and performances by the F-22 and F-35B demonstration teams. The Blue Angels, a US Navy flight demonstration squadron, performed on Friday afternoon.
The San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show presented by United takes place every year between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz and attracts fans from all over the world. This waterfront event is led by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and, based on organizers, is the one air show within the United States that features a fully choreographed appearance by an airliner, the United Airlines 777.
Saturday's cancellation got here after the looks of the local weather phenomenon affectionately known by some as “Charle the Fog.”
Fleet Week concludes on Monday, October 14, with performances by the first Marine Division Ceremonial Band, the High School Hand Challenge and tours of the USS Somerset and USS Tripoli.
