I saw the Blue Angeles in SF last year. I watched them from the Presidio followed by the Red Bull Air Races.
It seemed that there were million people all were having fun and enjoying the sun. SF is a freaking beautiful place. I've done a ton of traveling and SF is one of the coolest cities I've been too.
I didn't see any protesters, just tons of people enjoying the show and Fleet Week festivities. I cannot overstate the attendance... there were a lot of people stretching for MILES along the water front all of them shouting in support! Because of the layout of the Bay, it was a great place to watch... F-18's creating rooster tails on the water with the Golden Gate and Alcatraz in the back ground.
Don't be so quick to malign SF until you attend a show there - the attendance is VERY supportive. I've seen the Blue Angels in So Cal and the Thunderbirds in N.C. SF is By far the best show, with the largest crowd in the best setting. This isn't a few people at an air field... this is the entire city lined up at the shore for a spectacular demonstration.
Don't confuse the politics of a few hippies with the general population.
Dont assume SF is over-run by rump riding tree huggers ( they stay away from the show)
Perhaps Fleet week is the only time for normal people to take SF back for themselves. The vast majority of SF residents appreciate the Angels
Get off your a$$ and go see it for yourself! -- I just may meet you there!
BTW the Presdio is cool too Gun Ramparts from the 1800's are still there.
