Blue Angels Return to Bay Area for Fleet Week

Dust off the earplugs and doublepane the windows.

Fleet Week is back.

And so are the Blue Angels.

The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration team is returning to the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, according to reports.

It's been two years since the fighter jets graced the Bay Area skies -- last year's Blue Angels appearance at Fleet Week was canceled during the federal budget shutdown.

The blue F/A-18 Hornets that roar through the skies above Alcatraz arrived in Oakland on Monday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

They'll first take to the skies for official practice on Friday, but don't be surprised if you see them in the air on Thursday.

Air shows are scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
