Bird strike in engine damages Blue Angels jet at air show
VERO BEACH, Fla. – A bird strike caused $1 million damage to the engine of a Blue Angels jet at an air show in Florida.
Vero Beach Air Show spokeswoman Catherine Caddell tells TCPalm.com that the team’s No. 5 jet made a safe but early landing after Saturday’s bird strike.
The Navy then brought in another FA-18 plane and put a number “5” on it so viewers could see a complete show on Sunday. The six blue and yellow planes then soared over Vero Beach, performing acrobatic skills for the crowd below.
