SF Resolution to Ban Blue Angels Fails

San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly and his peacenik allies have been trying to get rid of anything military in the city. Their latest attempt has been the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels. He has been trying to ban them from performing their aerial acrobatics over the city during Fleet Week.

His arguments have centered on safety, citing a fatal air accident with the Blue Angels in April in a small rural town in South Carolina where eight people on the ground were injured. He believes that having a fighter pilot exhibition over a densely populated area like San Francisco poses an unwarranted risk to life and property.

Unfortunately for him, the Board of Supervisors voted down his resolution yesterday afternoon.
