Fleet week Quote : All shots taken w/ a Nikon D50 w/ Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G lens; center spot metering and focus, jets shot w/ shutter priority at 1/2000sec. It wa cleaned up all the images in photoshop. Level adjusted, cropped and rotated some (leveled out the sneak pass). Post processing does help fix exposure and framing issues! ....... Added some additional context shots (12/10/07), hope you like 'em! : Quote Prior to the airshow, there were the boats I mean after all, it's called Fleetweek for a reason! Here's a Canadian vessel - the HMCS Algonquin. It's an Iroquois class destroyer based in Esquimalt, British Columbia. (Thanks to Roger Harris for the info) Shot of the paid airshow area. They couldn't go to their normal excellent spot due to structural concerns this year. Sigh, too bad. That domed thing in the back is the Palace of Fine Arts - built for the 1915 International Expo (yes, I looked it up!). Sean Tucker and the Oracle Challenger II The USCG was everywhere! US Marines does a demo too! They're the HMLA-367 �Scarface� from Camp Pendleton (Info thanks to Shannon Koski) Kind of a pretty shot with Alcatraz in the back. If they holler for you to move...better do as they say! :-) The original flyer with a L-39 in the background.

Fleet week - continuation Patriots/Fry's L-39 Your best buys, are ALWAYS...at FRY'S (but only for the advertised items!). Sean Tucker again! Truly a legend in the world of acrobatic flying! Fat Albert !! This is the name the Blue Angels gave this particular C-130 Hercules...I didn't make it up! The high speed sneak pass... The main reason I brave the traffic for SF fleetweek. He's not quite supersonic...but doing around 700mph!! (I looked it up) I can hardly believe I'm getting this, and my camera didn't flake in the middle... (update) Got confirmation from the Tern crew; yep they surprised!! (page 2 of 3)

The boat guys were closest to the action, but were constantly being herded about by the the coast guard and SF police (I got a note that implied harbor patrol is not the right term!). (update) I have to stop saying I don't know anyone with a boat!... I've had a few offers from very kind hearted boat owners to be their guest next year! Oh, I can't wait! :-) It's actually pretty hard to time them crossing... The ROCK (Alcatraz) in the background. Another signature San Francisco shot. It's not JUST the Coast Guard and Police out there, the Fire Dept helped out too! Hey, where did everybody go? In case you're wondering, I was marking time - waiting for the parking lot log-jam to clear. I think an hour and a half later, we made our escape (that's just from the parking lot)! Oh, the joy! Some additional items of interest: * For the record, the Number 5 did NOT go under the bridge for the sneak pass. He popped over it on the SF side of the span, and dropped down low like a rock! It was an awesome move, and executed quickly. * If you wonder what that sneak pass was like in real time, check the following excellent video (not mine) from the same weekend at: 3 Sneak Passes. ............................................................................

If not, I suspect her Sea King helo wasn't there; when I went to visit CFB Esquimalt last July, none of the Sea Kings could be seen aboard Algonquin or any of the Halifax class Frigates that were homeported there. Perhaps their crews have started converting to Cyclone helos to replace their aging Sea Kings? Thanks for the great pics and video links! Happy New Year to you too!

Quote: That photo you say is 10 SR-71s all in a row... those actually are the extremely rare USAF YF-12s, that carried the predecessor to the Phoenix missile in a closed bay like the Raptor. That's the only photo of them I've ever seen. best Jim S.
