San Francisco

Our days in San Francisco were mostly rest and relaxation.  We did find that the Fleetweek activities were on so we enjoyed an airshow.  This group consists of private individuals who use retired T33 military trainers for exhibition flights.  The Golden Gate Bridge is in sight.
This is a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey.
Several famous aerobatic  pilots were in the show with this stunt where the plane had hung by its propeller and then released into normal flight.
This is a USAF Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor

United Airlines demonstrated the Boeing 747-400
The US Navy Blue Angels Demonstration Team was staying at our hotel and this Marine Corps pilot member of the team posed with Sue.
