The U.S. Navy dismissed one of its Blue Angels pilots and a public affairs officer before the flight demonstration squadron’s final scheduled performance of the season last week.
According to digital news site Task and Purpose, the Blue Angels flew with only five of their usual six F/A-18 Super Hornets at the Naval Air Station Pensacola Homecoming Air Show on November 6-7—the squadron’s last demonstration of 2026 and a commemoration of eight decades of aerobatic performances.
