wakko807 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Capped off a two week vacation in California that started in Salinas with the California International Airshow with a weekend at Fleet Week in San Francisco. Had a blast hanging out with fellow ARCer Midnight Storm (Eddie) at both events. Enjoy! First some of the locals... pelican buzzing the tower... Seagull about to catch the three-wire... Bark! Bark! Bark! US Coast Guard rescue demo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wakko807 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) #5's AWESOME sneak pass. These had the fewest boat masts in the way lol. You could see the mirror effect of the shockwaves on Saturday... More vapor on Sunday... Eddie got some way better shots of this than I did...I'm sure he'll be on here soon!
