BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

San Francisco Fleet Week has been a tradition since 1981 when it was created by Dianne Feinstein, Former Mayor of San Francisco, who wanted to honor the contributions that the United States Armed Forces have made to this country. Today, SF Fleet Week is the largest air show in the country and is very educational, displaying pilots’ jobs. Many pilots put on “shows” turning and twisting to display their skills. Many people from the Bay Area specifically, San Francisco residents enjoy watching these planes fly overhead, while enjoying festivities for the yearly event. It is a tradition for the Bay Area, and is part of the community. Numerous new and returning people attend every year and will continue to as the tradition lives on.
