The U. S. Navy's Blue Angels, a precision flight team, are back in the Bay Area for Fleet Week. They take off from our airport then fly over our house on their way to an airshow over by the Golden Gate Bridge. What a powerful sound those jet engines make as they climb into the sky! Last year I saw them clearly and could read the lettering on the underside of the wings, but I haven't made it outside fast enough yet this weekend. I expected them just before 3:00 today, but they zoomed over about 1:15.
Just in case they were doing two shows, I went back outside a few minutes before three, hoping to make a video if they returned. They did! But I was too slow and couldn't get them in view. I captured the roar of the engines but not the planes. Maybe next year I will head down to the park where the open field should allow a longer view of the jets. Randy and es were at the park Friday afternoon when the jets flew over. The noise startled es so much she clung to Randy; later he realized that he probably should have covered her ears.
