A rather challenging team to photograph, my camera didn't like the black paintjobs, beautiful planes none the less and a terrific performance, here's a few turned out decent

Who was this performing. I remember they were before the Blue Angels and at first I thought they were them when I was on the ship becuase I heard jets..

I think I read on the Fleet Week site its Air Force Performing Show but I wasnt sure.

Beautiful Pics and nice ones with the Golden Gate ;)

The team was called the patriots, I believe they are all prior military pilots and they call themselves the Confederate Air Force?  Not positive on this, I didn't even know they were flying until 4 black jets screamed over my head while I was talking to some guy next to me...we were waiting for the F-16 demo and thought it was next after the Snowbirds.

Was anyone lucky enough to see the Death Star, and the invasion from the Imperial Star Fleet during the San Francisco Imperial Fleet week?

.....Fortunately, I think they all went back home after the Show... :)...!
