I live around the Jackson Park/Willowgate area and I walked downtown around 1pm. The Caltrain/VTA station was busy, but everything was very orderly.

I walked home around 3pm (I wanted to catch the kickoff at home) and by then things were very quiet (apart from the Blue Angels zooming around).

I thought the City of Mountain View, the police department, sheriff's department and VTA/Caltrain staff handled this very well.

It went off w/out a hitch from my perspective. The free flyby ended up being an unplanned mini block party on our street. I enjoy being friendly to the out-of-towners too, and they seemed genuinely appreciative. Good human connections made, if you're into that sort of social positivity...right here in our little neck o' the woods.
