Summary
Hung Cao said the debrief on the Blue Angels' unusually low Pensacola Beach pass found "no problem," ruling out reprimands or firings after the maneuver drew national attention.
Videos of 2 jets skimming low over beachgoers during Wednesday's "Breakfast with the Blues" event went viral, splitting reaction between spectators who cheered and critics who questioned the stunt.
Pete Hegseth and other Trump allies publicly backed the flyover, with Hegseth posting that "the flyovers will continue until morale improves," while ABC reported Blue Angels leadership was still reviewing the circumstances and safety.
Thousands packed Pensacola Beach for one of the event's biggest crowds in recent memory ahead of public performances Friday and Saturday during Red, White and Blues Week.
