OAKLAND, Calif.—This year is the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron, which performed airshows in San Francisco on the weekend of Oct. 8–10.
The Blue Angels return annually to the Bay Area during Fleet Week before Columbus Day. This year, two new airplanes have made their debuts: the F/A-18 Super Hornet jet and a C-130 transport aircraft known as “Fat Albert.”
