The aircraft was in/over and area that had been cleared by both CG and
police boats.

Look at the first photo. You can see a police boat. The one with the
green stripe on the bow. The second photo can be explained by the use of
a telephoto lens.

Not very nice of this website to use those photos without attributing
them to the guy who took them. (Although I suppose they might have
bought them from him?) Of course, after they've zinged around the
worldwide web for a few weeks, proper attribution is sometimes quite
difficult.

I was on his website (which I sadly can't find right now) a few days
ago, and marveled at the zillion fantastic shots he took of this Blue
Angels performance. The guy is good.

His telephoto lens makes everything look much closer than it really
was. Great shots, though -- the best I've seen.

I see many boats in the photos. The area had not been cleared.

Wot? You think the boats just randomly formed a nice corridor?


No.

I was there for that performance on Fisherman's Wharf.

It is legal as CG and other auhtorities keep a wide corridor free of vessels.

The telephoto effect foreshortens the apparent positions of everything.

Are they flying super hornets now? The super hornet is bigger than the
old hornet and would appear to be closer as a result.
