The Blue Angels soared and roared over San Francisco Saturday \u2013 and this time, they were visible.<\/p>\n<p>The air show kicked off just after noon, bringing out aviation fans to watch the different aircraft soaring overheard.<\/p>\n<p>This time, the conditions were better than Friday\u2019s, when the cloudy skies cut the Blue Angels show short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s amazing, we have been spellbound to watch and see how amazing it is what they do and how they do it, right?\u201d Canada resident Lana said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been looking at the weather and thinking what is the best day to go out, and today seemed like a good day,\u201d San Francisco resident Allison said.<\/p>\n<p>Many hope the weather will cooperate again on Sunday. Marine Corps pilot Major Andrew Sanchez spoke with NBC Bay Area and shared some insight about his experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fly the F-35B, which is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft flown primarily by the United States Marine Corps because I\u2019m a Marine Corps pilot,\u201d he said. \u201cThe thing that makes the F-35B unique, aside from being flown by the Marine Corps, is that and can really hover like a helicopter and it\u2019s designed to land vertically on ships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ship Tours had people lining up along the Embarcadero. One of those ships was the USS Ashland.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet Week festivities continue on Sunday.
