San Francisco's Fleet Week returns Oct. 4 through 12 and will end with three days of high-flying action from the Blue Angels. Here's a look at the schedule.
The government shutdown is forcing changes to San Francisco's Fleet Week. Since 2011, the event has included a large-scale earthquake drill -- bringing together military and local agencies to test disaster response. But this year, federal and military support is limited.
A San Francisco Fleet Week spokesperson says the Royal Canadian Airforce Snowbirds will now headline the airshow - other planes are scheduled to fly, too.
Sunday kicked off the first day of Fleet Week in San Francisco, but the government shutdown is pressing the pause button on all events and attractions involving the U.S. Military -- including the Blue Angels.

The Canadian Snowbirds and the Patriots aren't quite as loud as the Blue Angels, but there will be smoke, jet noise and excitement in San Francisco, says pilot Cory Lovell.
