Blue Angels

Yesterday I went down to the Golden Gate Bridge to watch the Blue Angel's practice for their air show today. The Blue angels are the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron.They were formed in 1946. The name Blue Angels comes from a bar in New York City that a group of the squadrons pilots visited. The squadron flies six F/A 18 Hornet aircraft with a seventh as a spare though my favorite is actually their logistics and supply plane a Marine Corps C-130T Hercules, nicknamed "Fat Albert". My favorite images of the day were Fat Albert framed by the Golden Gate Bridge. Conditions for photography for the most part were pretty poor with moments of great light thrown in. There was a lot of haze in the air and the fog was almost always overhead. Still it was a nice way to spend an afternoon. God's precious love to all, chris
