Fleet Week runs from October 3-11 and includes ship tours, air shows, a free concert series and more.
Held annually in the fall, fans can catch the popular U.S. Navy Blue Angels performing acrobatic manuvers in Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets during air shows along the San Francisco waterfront. The 2022 show lineup includes “Fat Albert,” a United States Marine Corps Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules used by the Blue Angels for transporting equipment, spare parts and support personnel between shows.
The air show presented by United Airlines also features one of their 777 commercial airliners, the U.S. Navy Leap Frogs Parachute Team and more Navy and Coast Guard aircraft.
