Navy Blue Angels Review Low-Level Flyover That Disrupted Pensacola Beach Event

On Wednesday, July 16th, 2026, the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels conducted an unusually low flyover at Florida’s Pensacola Beach during the annual "Breakfast with the Blues" event, part of Pensacola Beach Air Show Week. The jets’ low altitude caused tents and umbrellas on the beach to be sent flying, prompting the Blue Angels to review the incident.

The event drew significant attention as the Navy evaluates the circumstances surrounding the low-level pass.
