Fleet Week 2022 was seven jam-packed days of art, exhibitions, parties, and of course, high-flying performances from our national sea services that celebrate their efforts and talents right in our own city. This yearly tradition invites a rush of tourists into San Francisco to learn about and be amazed by the committed works of these services, particularly the fleet ship showcases and gravity-defying aerial acts by the precisely synchronized Blue Angels.
Take a look at some of the most impressive moments snapped by our also skilled city photographers that capture both the impressive feats, and the overall thriving energy of San Francisco this past week.
