No firings. No problem\u201d following Wednesday morning\u2019s incident, in which one spectator said she feared she would be \u201ctaken out\u201d by the aircraft.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Blue Angels jet was performing a flyby during a \u201cBreakfast with the Blues\u201d event at Florida\u2019s Pensacola Beach, on the Gulf Coast barrier island of Santa Rosa, when footage showed it passing at an unusually low altitude. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The squadron initially said in a statement that the safety of spectators, the community, and pilots remained its \u201chighest priority\u201d and that leadership was conducting \u201ca thorough safety review.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring an arrival maneuver, an aircraft flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas,\u201d the Blue Angels said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Yet members of the Trump administration were quick to celebrate the flyover despite the safety concerns it sparked. <\/p>\n<p>Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell posted an image of the F\/A-18 Super Hornet on Thursday with the message, \u201cCarry on Patriots.\u201d An official White House account also shared a photo taken during the low pass, captioning it, \u201cIt\u2019s okay to love America.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Cao similarly struck a patriotic tone, captioning a video of the jet, \u201cThat\u2019s the sound of Freedom!\u201d as he announced that no one would face disciplinary action. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3685\">Trump Judge Rips DOJ Goons Over Embarrassing Blunder<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would come back in and have words with that individual,\u201d John \u201cJV\u201d Venable, a retired colonel who formerly commanded the Thunderbirds, the Air Force\u2019s elite demonstration squadron, told The Washington Post, saying the viral video of the Blue Angels jet appeared to warrant an investigation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would \u2026 say, \u2018Hey, you need to bump up your altitudes. You need to be more cognizant of where you are,\u2019\u201d Venable said. He added that military flyovers are generally expected to remain 500 feet above people on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The beach flyover is the latest in a string of incidents involving military aircraft that have sparked safety concerns, with those involved rarely facing consequences.<\/p>\n<p>On July 4, eight South Carolina National Guard Apache pilots were suspended after flying their helicopters at a low altitude just a few hundred feet from the shoreline during the \u201cSalute to the Shore\u201d flyover along the state\u2019s coast.<\/p>\n<p>The suspensions were short-lived, however, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth intervened on X, writing, \u201cWe\u2019ll fix this,\u201d and reversed the disciplinary action typically handled by military commanders.<\/p>\n<p>In April, the U.S. Army suspended the crew of two helicopters after they performed a flyover near MAGA rocker Kid Rock\u2019s home, but Hegseth soon stepped in with a message nearly identical to Cao\u2019s Thursday post. \u201cNo punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots,\u201d Hegseth wrote on X, reversing the disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been coming for 10 years and I\u2019ve never seen a pass like that in my life,\u201d Ashley Korn, a spectator at Wednesday morning\u2019s flyover, told North Florida ABC affiliate WEAR-TV. \u201cI literally thought we were going to be taken out by Blue Angels, but it was amazing,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3683\">Trump Accidentally Fingers Putin in Election Dump<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the Pentagon and the Blue Angels for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fighter pilot who roared so low over a crowded beach that chairs and umbrellas were blown into the air will face no disciplinary action.
