2 Blue Angels Guilty Of Misconduct
POSTED: Saturday, November 8, 2008
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- A pilot and a support officer for the Navy's elite Blue Angels aerial demonstration have been found guilty of having an inappropriate relationship.
The Marine pilot and the Navy officer were sentenced Friday in an administrative disciplinary hearing at the Naval Air Training Command in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Navy is not releasing the officers' names or their punishments because it says the information is protected under privacy regulations.
Blue Angels Commander Capt. Kevin Mannix removed both officers from the team last week. Since the announcement, a six-member demonstration has performed without its No. 4 jet, flown by Marine Maj. Clint Harris.
