Blue Angels at San Francisco Fleet Week 2007

[navy09]

I've seen that show several times in the past, but missed it this year. I think it's very doubtful that they flew under the bridge, as cool as that would have been.

it looked like he actually flew under Golden Gate Bridge.

Big deal. I've seen a diamond formation fly under the Golden Gate Bridge on the way to blowing up Alcatraz...Haven't you ever seen the Rock? :icon_wink

Yeah, well I've flown a hornet under bridges and between buildings upside down while dogfighting mig-29s on Over G Fighters. You won't hear me bragging about watching CG jets fly under a bridge on a movie. Lame.

I was just kidding. Ease up man. I'd love to see footage of that if someone has it.

Did anyone get a video of the Blue Angel solo when he kicked up the water behind his jet? That was probably the coolest part of the show.

That wasn't the Blue Angel kicking water up, that was Chuck Norris beating the water AWAY from the jet.

The water got Chucked...

For all of those who might have missed this the first time, and for those who didn't - its worth a look again.

Did anyone get a video of the Blue Angel solo when he kicked up the water behind his jet? That was probably the coolest part of the show. From where I was it looked like he actually flew under Golden Gate Bridge. Can anyone confirm this? If he did, I'm surprised it isn't on youtube yet.

I wasn't there this year, but in past years, the solo goes over the top of the bridge, with a pretty aggressive bunt to low altitude.
There's a bunch of great pics from past years floating around with the shockwave forming on the solo during the sneak attack pass.

Chuck went under the bridge, the Blue Angel chickened out and went over it......cite Chuck 3:16 "Chuck doesn't get cleared, he clears himself."

 

[Lonestar155]

It was a very low sneak pass.. AND I MEAN LOWER THAN usual. Hopefully pics will be posted soon.

 

[bjstephani]

I can't tell if he was under the bridge. He looks lower than the sailboat masts.

 

[FLYTPAY]

I would say that is under the bridge.

I would say that is under the bridge.

A helo could do it lower...
