wings clipped

Does anyone in San Antonio know which of the six Blue Angels is not
flying. There are no aircraft on the ramp here so we can't tell which
pilot got fired.
Sure gonna make our Homecoming Airshow sad if it was the Lead Solo who
got fired.
Sad Tom in Pensacola

PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) -- A spokesman for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels
says the stunt-flying team will be down one jet the rest of its season
after removing two members from duty for having an inappropriate
relationship.

Capt. Tyson Dunkelberger, a spokesman for the team based at Naval Air
Station Pensacola, said Thursday the squadron will finish its last three
air shows next month with five jets.

Dunkelberger would not identify the two members but said the
relationship was between a man and a woman. All six of the F-18 stunt
pilots are men, and 23 of the 133-member squadron are women.

Dunkelberger says a military administrative hearing will be held to
determine further disciplinary actions, which could include removal from
the military.
