The U.S. Navy Blue Angels have announced that they will not be performing the flyover at the US Naval Academy (USNA) graduation and commissioning on May 27.
It is a long-standing tradition that the Blue Angels perform a fly-over at the graduation ceremony for US Naval Academy graduates, and there has been wide speculation whether they would perform as they are currently on a safety stand-down order due to unsafe manoevers at the Lynchburg Regional Air Show on May 22.
