    My God. Those sneak passes are crazy!

    [youtubetp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7rAUu8djZ4[/youtubeNice M-249 machine gun on the Coast Guard boat, too. Or is that a 240B?

    I never realized how beautiful the bay is. Alcatraz is nice, I have to go there sometime.

    I've been to SF a number of times and have never been dissapointed. Beautiful, fun city
    and easy to get around without a car.
    AND....that low pass along the water was wild!!!!!!

    that's the M240B. the M249 is a handheld weapon (about 8-10 inches shorter) while the M240 is generally mounted.

    but this is just awesome:


    look at the distortion from the shockwave around the empenage of the airplane. talk about a great shot! wish that i had a better vantage point at SNS each year, i'd try to get these kind of shots myself.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
