Blue Angels air squadron has been temporarily grounded

The most famous and famed Blue Angels air squadron has been temporarily grounded after a serious technical glitch at a show in Virginia last week. Many of the jets were flying at a below normal altitude during the widely seen show. No injures has been reported however due to the mistake, that their commander made the decision to leave the unit. Four shows have already been reduced from the earlier announced schedule.

Every year, thousands of people come to the Quad Cities Air Show, crane their necks, and focus their eyes on the sky. They pay good amount for tickets to get a peek at the risky maneuvers performed by flying teams like the Blue Angels.

This year, the Blue Angels are the QC Air Show headliners; 45,000 spectators are predicted to attend daily but this glitch can dampen the sentiments about the show. The founder of the show, Ken Hopper, tells the media that he's optimistic the Blue Angels will show up with some adjustments. But there's always a chance that could change.

The Quad City Air Show web page has this disclaimer posted:

"All performers, acts, static display subject to change without notice and all aircraft listed have been requested, but are not all confirmed as of press date, thank you for your understanding."It's unclear right now if a different flying team would take over if the Blue Angels decided to cancel. But for now, the squadron is expected to appear June 18 and 19.
