Blue Angels Return to San Francisco Skies After Fog Forces Saturday Cancellation

The iconic aerial team performed a modified show on Sunday as weather conditions improved, delighting Fleet Week spectators.

  • The Blue Angels were unable to perform on Saturday due to heavy fog, known locally as 'Karl the Fog,' which created unsafe flying conditions.
  • Sunday's weather improved, allowing the Blue Angels to execute a 'low' show with limited maneuvers as part of San Francisco's Fleet Week events.
  • Fleet Week in San Francisco, a tradition since 1981, includes military displays and performances, with the Blue Angels as a key attraction.
  • The Blue Angels' Sunday show began at 3 p.m., after other scheduled performances by the Navy Parachute Team and military aircraft demonstrations.
  • The event, held between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, draws large crowds and features a unique performance by a United Airlines 777.
