Overview
- The U.S. Navy Blue Angels flew a roughly 40-minute demonstration on Saturday that included tight diamond and delta formations and maneuvers with jets reported as close as 18 inches apart.
- After fog and low clouds cut Friday's display to just a few passes, late-morning clearing and manageable winds allowed the pilots to complete a full Saturday performance.
- Thousands of spectators lined Marina Green and other shoreline areas to watch the show, and city agencies put crowd-control and transit restrictions in place to handle the heavy attendance.
- Other Fleet Week activities continued across the weekend, including ship tours and military flight demonstrations such as Marine Corps F-35B displays whose pilots noted the jet's short‑takeoff and vertical‑landing capabilities.
- The Blue Angels' return replaced the squadron's absence during last year's federal shutdown and helps sustain Fleet Week's large tourism and economic lift for the region while underscoring that Bay fog remains a recurring constraint for future air shows.
