Blue Angels Fly Low Over Beach | Bangor News

A Blue Angels jet flew dangerously low over a Florida beach, sending chairs flying and sand blasting into crowds — sparking outrage and safety concerns. While the Navy promised a safety review, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and top officials defended the stunt, saying flyovers will continue “until morale improves.” This isn’t the first time Hegseth has intervened to halt investigations into risky maneuvers — including Army helicopters near Kid Rock’s home and Apache choppers over a July 4th beach — often with the phrase “Carry on, Patriots.” Aviation safety experts warn these low-altitude flyovers are reckless and have historically led to crashes, arguing that military leaders’ dismissive attitudes undermine safety culture. The Pentagon remains silent on whether this latest incident will face scrutiny. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
