Thanks Didar56

Telegraph Hill is always crowded so I prefer the viewing platform in Jack Early Park at Grant and Pfeiffer, it's not as high up as Telegraph Hill but is closer to the action.
I also like getting down to the bayside with the crowds to soak up the atmosphere and the next time I'm thinking about trying to be on Alcatraz for a different perspective.
We stay at the Mandarin Oriental when in The City and the view from our 05 room is also very good if not as close to the action and we had a lovely picnic on the Sunday of our last stay watching the show.
The first time we were there for Fleet Week the Blue Angels aircraft doing the individual runs were flying past the Mandarin at the level of the skybridges between the towers at ?hundreds of knots which was very exciting, the last time they seemed to be staying higher above the city and away from the buildings when repositioning during their show.

Looking forward to a return visit as soon as I can
