Beginning October 6, 2000, the mystical Blue Angels will delight San Francisco Bay area folks young and old as they zoom, twist and soar through the air. Take the time to find the ideal spot, and your Fleet Week experience will be a pleasant one.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Choose a high altitude or bayside vantage point with a clear view of the area between the Golden Gate Bridge and Treasure Island.

  2. Step 2

    Make sure your viewing spot is not obstructed by tall buildings or landmarks.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a spot that will allow ample parking and room to accommodate you and your belongings comfortably.

  4. Step 4

    Arrive early! Fleet Week draws thousands of spectators, all of whom will be searching for their own perfect spot.

  5. Step 5

    Take binoculars, sunglasses and a camera to catch all of the activities.

  6. Step 6

    Suggest a rooftop Fleet Week party to friends or family with a safe and roomy roof overlooking the Bay area. Offer to help with the planning.
