Somebody get me some press credentials, I wanna go!!!

I love Fleet week in San Francisco, and not just because there are lots of sailors in town...:p My office is on the Bay and I love watching the Blue Angels practicing all week for the air show. I then climb a hill above the Golden Gate Bridge to watch the official show. Talk about chills, watching them buzz the Golden Gate Bridge gives me goosebumps!

I would love to go for a ride.

LA, I never miss it! I've got some great shots over the years. I live just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and I love hearing and seeing those F-18's roaring overhead. San Francisco has a great sea-faring and military history, so when the whiners complain about the noise (most of them newcomers), we tell them to "get out of town then!"

CAF ROCKS!!!! Thats what I'm talking about, they're more than impressive, they're the heart and soul of Canadian aviation. The solo maneveurs are CRAZY!!! Everytime I see them, I get those damn chills... The most impressive part is the communication between them. I've seen them perform in the downtown Toronto area right in front of Lake Ontario for the past couple years. Damn those tutors can move :) They've been pressing for the CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) to retire them.... I hope not!!!
