Fleet Week 2008 is October 9-14. Prepare for massive amounts of noise! It's like the city's under attack!

Fleet Week 2007 was October 4-7.

Fleet Week began in 1981. It's the Navy's chance to show off its boats in the bay and more importantly, really fucking loud airplanes. Some of the planes aren't Navy planes, like the B2 bomber, or A-10 Warthog, but are still bowel-jarringly loud.
