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.

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
