Sequestration Update: Navy Cancels 2013 Blue Angels Schedule

April 11th, 2013
The U.S. Navy has cancelled the remaining 2013 performances of its Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron.

According to a statement issued yesterday (Tuesday) morning, “The Navy intends to continue aerial demonstrations in the future as the budget situation permits.”
