cuckoo in the sky

This plane flew so low you'd think it would
touch the top of the trees before it made its ascent

it was Fleet week in San Francisco 

last weekend...

the crowd at the Marina Green

the usual crowd of sightseers, local

and foreign tourists,

were awed by the flying feats

I made a request to the commander to see if
he could make my first initial

of phantom, and F series

jets as well as the 

vintage aircrafts while

battleships and sailboats

crowded the bay...

at Safeway Marina's

parking lot, I was taking these

photos while busy munching

potato wedges...

I wouldn't be surprised if there were
foreign spies among those who were
taking photos and filming with their
cameras.

the sky above the Golden Gate bridge

and the bay looked like a playground

for the air force...

Stealth planes

the pilot of this plane deserves to work

for Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey...

Safeway Marina parking lot

he flew the plane vertically to such
altitude with twisting
ascent pushing its
limits till the power ran

 out and no engine roar can be
heard at the top
and the audience goes ooh no...
then with the nose pointed down
dives with no power
but midway before hitting the waters
restarts the engine

for a glorious climb to safety....

Pacific Ocean, Montara, CA

Barnum and Bailey is not

 a bad place to work for...

I almost worked for them

when I was out of job and

looking to make a few dollars...

They were happy when I showed up at 

their doorstep and told me there

is a job opening.

I cowered about the gig

 croc's appetizer
 is not exactly what i'm looking for....

Looking back i thought 

that was the smartest

thing I've ever done ...

Hwy 1, Montara, Ca (in progress)

that's all folks!
