The Blue Angels will face no disciplinary action after a close beach flyby in Florida this week, the U.S. Navy confirmed on Thursday.
Videos posted on social media showed one of the elite team’s F/A-18 fighter jets passing just above beachgoers in Pensacola on Wednesday.
The Navy announced a safety review after the videos went viral, raising concerns about altitude and distance from the crowd.
Officials determined the maneuver did not violate any specific flight safety rules or regulations.
The flyby occurred during a routine training run, not a scheduled air show performance.
No injuries were reported, but the incident sparked widespread public discussion about safety protocols.
A Navy spokesperson stated the review found no evidence of pilot error or reckless behavior.
The Blue Angels resumed their regular training schedule on Thursday with no changes to operations.
