The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels are investigating after a video captured an unusually low flyover over Pensacola Beach, Florida, during an air show event. According to multiple reports, one of the jets flew lower than standard flight profiles, disturbing the beach area. Footage described by outlets shows beach items and sand being thrown into the air, including chairs and umbrellas, during the “Breakfast with the Blues” portion of Pensacola Beach Air Show Week.
The Blue Angels have acknowledged the issue, stating that an aircraft flew lower than standard profiles and that this caused a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian seating and related items. The incident occurs at a public, scheduled air show event, and the Navy’s review is focused on what led to the aircraft’s lower-than-expected altitude.
The reported details across outlets focus on the same core sequence: a low pass captured on video, a disturbance affecting beach-goers’ belongings, and an ongoing official investigation by the team.
