Fleet Week SF 2022
Blue Angels and F35 scheduled but the Snowbirds have dropped FW from their latest update.
Re: Fleet Week SF 2022
I remember when Fleet Week used to actually have a fleet. One year they even launched F-18s from a carrier (Nimitz IIRC) in the bay and did a couple of bolters.

Oh for a return to the good old days. I'll be there this year and admit to being disappointed the Snowbirds have cancelled for the second year running.
Re: Fleet Week SF 2022
Looks like FW just lost the USAF F35 too so that leaves only the Blue Angels.
Re: Fleet Week SF 2022
One of the coolest moments I saw at a Fleet Week was about 15 years ago. The Sukhoi Su-26 display was just coming to an end, and the next item, the USAF F-16 demo, came into the box and performed a 360 on burner overhead. It was the F-16 demo pilot’s way of saying “Hi Dad!” Russ Piggot was the demo pilot that year, and his father, John Piggott, flew a Sukhoi at East Coast airshows for many years until he retired a few years ago.

Bit of good news for a change. Navy F-35C demo announced.
