This weekend on Sat 10/8, I was enjoying the Blue Angels
airshow during Fleetweek in San Francisco. As always, it
was a real thrill. It even included an F-16 and then an F-86
joined up with the F-16 for some close formation fly-bys.
Very nice!
After that, and before the Blue Angels showed, another
demonstration team arrived to put on a show. But
they were not listed anywhere in the program. It was
3 aircraft painted in deep blue and gold. Blue Angels
colors, but definitely not the Blue Angels. At first I was
guessing these were the old F-11s the BA used to fly,
but I am certain they weren't. These planes had only
slightly swept wings and wingtip tanks. The aircraft
looked like Aero L-159 ALCAs. I'm not familiar with this
team. Does anyone out there know who these guys are?
And is my guess of the planes correct?
