The Blue Angels’ CO is assigned to the No. 1 jet; the team has seven jets and six typically take part in the demonstration while the seventh, a two-seater, is a backup and is used to fly civilian guests prior to the shows. After the low maneuver last weekend, the team broke from routine and regrouped. The rest of the performance at the Lynchburg Regional Air Show in Virginia was canceled and the planes landed without incident, Blues spokeswoman Lt. Katie Kelly said. Following a debriefing, Koss and the team returned to Pensacola, Fla., the team’s home base, and Koss implemented a stand-down. The Blues subsequently scrapped a practice session and an air show planned for last Tuesday and Wednesday in Annapolis, Md. On Thursday, the team announced it was canceling appearances at today’s Naval Academy graduation and at an air show in Millville, N.J., this weekend.
