dashotgun Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I always wanted to go to fleet week. I am an avid photographer as well as model builder. This trip was planned for a long time but did not realize it was going to be fleet week!. The crowds were not to bad. I got a nice perch near pier 39 near some other photographers. FYI it was shot with a canon 7d mark2 with a 70-200 zoom mostly at 100 iso. I have near 700 photos from the that day alone so more to come if there is an interest or i can post the zenfolio address here Edited October 16, 2021 by dashotgun addes tags Uncarina, daveculp, John1 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashotgun Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hard to tell without a sound meter or at least a c model to compare. They were loud the f 16 was louder I think. Later the next day we did a tour of Height Ashbury and on the way back got buzzed over head by the solo planes that got my attention. I have been to a lot of airshow I lived in tidewater near Langley and oceana and went to those almost every year this was so different due to the non airbase and marine setting it was a thrill. The 777 United plane was a hoot GreyGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dashotgun Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) canon 7d mark2 with the 70-200 no extender although I have the 1.4 did not schelp it along, we went hiking in the desert of southern california and I streamlined my equipment. I did not expect to go to fleet week due to the expected crowds we were pleasantly surprised it was not to bad. I have more pictures and will post some more. The blues were great, the f-16 demo had wonderful paint but did not fly particularly close. the L-29 group was great as well and did a lot of precision flying mimicking the blues. runner ups were the united airlines demo funny to see the big airliner putting on a show. I lived near Langly and Oceana for a time and went to 2 or three airshows a year but the shows were on NAS and AFB so quite different. I wish I had the time to tour some of the ships but swambo would not have been amused. Did a lot of other fun stuff in San Francisco we did a walking tour of Height Ashbury which was fun went to see the 4 sisters in Japan town as well. It is a lovely city.
