Navy Clears Blue Angels Pilot After Controversial Low-Altitude Florida Beach Flyby
A video showing an extremely low pass over a beach near the home of the US Navy aerial demonstration team, the Blue Angels, has gone viral with controversy over dangers it presented to bystanders. The altitude of the fighter jet has been estimated around 40 feet (12 meters), well below the typical minimum safe altitude of 1,000 feet (305 meters) normally expected for any aircraft, military or civilian plane.
