"So yes, it's a big deal. We hope the show goes on and that things get settled before then. We will make the best of it. Yes, it is disappointing,"
"We have our world-famous airshow by United, headlined by the Canadian Snowbirds, Patriots Jet Team, visiting ships from Colombia and Canada -- an amazing time,"
"The event is every year. You know people are coming. Be sure to prepare for this event, but now I don't know,"
San Francisco Fleet Week opened under a reduced footprint because the federal government shutdown has paused military events and attractions. Ship tours at Pier 30 and 32 were canceled, leaving only sailboats and cruise ships on the Bay. The Navy Blue Angels are grounded and will not perform. A smaller airshow lineup includes the Canadian Snowbirds, the Patriots Jet Team, and visiting ships from Colombia and Canada. The event typically draws thousands of military visitors and over a million civilians, generating roughly $10 million in tax revenue, and local businesses face uncertainty and potential lost sales.
