SAN FRANCISCO FLEET WEEK

OCTOBER 9^TH TO 14^TH 2008

CLICK ON THESE GREAT LINKS

· Jim Brown sent me a great analysis showing the #5 sneak pass to be only 23 ft. off the water: Click for analysis

· 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 like a rock! It was an awesome move, and probably much harder to do than fly under the bridge.

· 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.

· Southpoint.com asked if I could do a short writeup on Fleetweek. If you're interested in what I came up with, click here.

· Nate Weinsaft has a great video of Sean Tucker in the Oracle Challenger II which he put to music. It's really very nicely done! Sean Tucker Video

· If you would like to see some additional SF Fleeweek shots, I've posted a few more pictures (with a boating emphasis) at: BZ Fleetweek supplemental

· The 2008 Fleetweek shots are up! They are at: 2008 San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show Gallery
