There was one that spent the night at SFO on Saturday night. I saw it when I got to work at SFO at 6am Sunday morning. He departed a little bit after 10am as "Grimm 11". He was cleared for take off with an unrestricted climb to 9,000 ft. Departure was LOUD and I think the woke up all the late sleepers in Millbrae and San Bruno

Not sure what he was up to. There was also a Huey Cobra parked on the Signature ramp as well that had spent the night. I never saw the Cobra leave on Sunday.

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
That makes me wonder....are there any documented cases of a US electronic warfare aircraft inadvertently disrupting communications over an area of the US? "Oops, I hit the wrong switch and put California in a total communications blackout for several minutes. My bad."

Two F-18's did do a flyover before the start of the game on Monday night.

Might do a number on air traffic control though. Maybe that was what caused American Airlines to have a melt down today. In the Navy during Viet Nam, and we never turned our radar on, while sitting on the desk prior to launch, unless the Captain asked us to.. We could easily over load the ships receivers. A couple of times a Soviet Elint Vessel was shadowing the ship too close, we were pulled up to the bow, then side lobed the radar, at the Elint Ship and they slowly drifted away. I don't know what we did to "comms" but we were tough on receivers.
I know my ship left a cellular system online, once. It blacked out the San Diego waterfront and Coronado. That system was added to the in-port shutdown list.
