Happy MoonDay

My Fleet Week Saturday

My Favorite parking spot for the Fleet Week Air Show was closed. The Pier 39 Parking Structure roof was a great spot to see all the action. SO great that it was blocked off for private parties.

I arrived plenty early so I started walking to find a good spot. I want different angles on the view this year. Found a place up on on hill at Fort Mason. Great View of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz... but not at the same time. A grove of trees blocking the space between. Click the pic for larger view

The First flyers that came into view was supplied by nature.

It was hecka hard to capture the action clearly, those things are fast and loud. I also took a lot of video that I will try to put together into something interesting. But maybe just to me.
