Blue Angels cancel performance

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The Navy's Blue Angles flight demonstration squadron have canceled the practice demonstration and air show scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. The cancelation is due to a safety stand down period imposed by the team's commanding officer after a lower-than-normal maneuver that took place during the team's last performance at Lynchburg Regional Air Show Sunday in Lynchburg, Va. Following this low maneuver all aircraft landed safely without damage or injury to personnel. During the training stand-down the team will remain in Pensacola for additional training and air show demonstration practice. It has yet to be determined if the Blue Angels will perform the flyover at the Naval Academy graduation Friday. (Source: Blue Angels, 05/23/11)
