Les blue angel annulent leurs shows depuis quelques jours suite a une sortie d'un tonneau bariqué trop basse a Lynchburg.
Le video montre la meme manoeuvre a deux jours consecutif. Noter le break de la formation quand le lead a constaté qu'ils avaient passé sous le plancher de sėcurité.

Blue Angels Boss Relieved
From Commander, Naval Air Forces Public Affairs
PENSACOLA (NNS) -- The commanding officer of the Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron was relieved of command by chief of naval air training May 27.
Cmdr. Dave Koss requested that Rear Adm. Bill Sizemore relieve him of his command following a lower-than-normal maneuver during the team's last performance at the Lynchburg Regional Air Show May 22.
"With deep personal regret I shared with my command today that I will be voluntarily leaving the greatest flight demonstration team," said Koss. "I performed a maneuver that had an unacceptably low minimum altitude. This maneuver, combined with other instances of not meeting the airborne standard that makes the Blue Angels the exceptional organization that it is, led to my decision to step down. I have the utmost respect for the Sailors and Marines of the Blue Angels organization and all that they embody. The reason this team is so successful, brings thrills to millions of fans across America, and represents the U.S. Navy so superbly, is because of the absolute commitment to safety and perfection by every member of the team. I am honored to have been a part of this organization, and I look forward to watching its success in the future."
Koss will be replaced by the previous Blue Angels' commanding officer, Capt. Greg McWherter, for the duration of the season.
This move requires the cancellation of the Blue Angels' scheduled performances at the Rockford Airfest June 4-5, and the Evansville Freedom Festival Air Show June 11-12. The Blue Angels will remain in Pensacola for additional training and air show demonstration practice. Any potential changes to the team's future schedule will be announced at a later date.
The Blue Angels regret any inconvenience and look forward to continuing to represent the Navy and Marine Corps service members serving around the world.

Re: Cmdt. des Blue Angels.....congédié pour "low flyin
Bon, techniquement il n'a pas été relevé de ses fonctions, il a choisit de manière "volontaire" de ne plus faire partie de l'équipe.... A vous de juger la valeur du mot "volontaire".julietlima wrote:Le commandant de cette équipe de la US Navy a été relevé de ses fonctions suite au dernier spectacle aux USA
