Mach 3...? Like the razor!?

Everyone in San Francisco loves Fleet Week. It's the perfect excuse to bust out your bomber jacket, grab a few beers, scale your rusted and aging fire escape, and drink on the roof. I took some pictures of the Blue Angels from my rooftop vantage point:


I also made several musing about Fleet Week:

  • A pickup line that has never failed: "Hello, I'm a Blue Angel.
  • Fleet Week by the numbers:
    • Top Gun high/low fives: 27,843
    • Aviator sunglasses: 84,367
    • Distance between Blue Angels jets: 12 feet
    • Things found in Blue Angels' shoes: 12 feet
    • Percentage increase in crew cuts in San Francisco: 100%
  • The one week where my lyrical knowledge of Take my Breath Away pays off
  • A pick up line that has never succeeded: "Hello, I'm the guy who flies the cargo plane right before the Blue Angels."
  • Something useful we should all learn and pass down to the next generation:
