Taken during the annual San Francisco Fleet Week airshow, the Blues four-ship formation performs a Diamond Pass during their performance, as seen from Sausalito.  First formed in 1946, the Blue Angels transitioned to the new F/A-18 Super Hornet in 2020.  Previously they had been flying some of the oldest jets in the fleet that have been taken out of frontline combat strike units as newer models are delivered.
