So it will be the first time the Blue Angels perform over San Francisco in the Super Hornet. United is the sponsor of the air show and is having another 777 demo. It's aways crazy seeing passenger planes show the kind of performance they can do when passengers won't be there to complain.

A typical mix of stunt planes and one F-16 demo. But over the years I've seen an AV-8B and an F-22 in San Francisco. Often it's the Oracle stunt plane. They'll have a C-17 demo although I'm not sure what they can show over the water. Also the Coast Guard will be doing a search and rescue demo, which I'm guessing will be near Fishermans Wharf. I haven't seen a Dolphin in white livery before. I saw a demo from Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco (at SFO) at a small airport, and those were bright orange. I've also seen them flying over San Francisco Bay and those have also been orange. I thought that white was primary Jayhawk colors.
