"The Blue Angels should not be allowed to fly over San Francisco. That's it. That's the tweet," SF District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston wrote at 3:15 p.m. on Saturday, amid the Fleet Week event.
Fleet Week is an annual celebration honoring the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and a commercial airliner, the United 777, perform a fully choreographed act across the city skies and wider Bay Area — a tradition that San Franciscans have come to love and look forward to each year.
Preston opted not to expand on his statement, despite generating heavy traction on Twitter. Some users voiced their support of the supervisor while others reacted more negatively.
KCBS Radio has reached out to Preston for a further explanation on why the Blue Angels should not be allowed to fly over San Francisco, but has not yet heard back.
