The flyover drew a large crowd, with thousands lining the beach to watch the Navy's flight demonstration squadron practice.
According to reports, the Blue Angels' leadership is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the maneuver and conducting a thorough safety review. The flyover was part of the squadron's practice ahead of this weekend's air show, which is expected to attract a large crowd.
Social media users responded to the flyover, with some praising the stunt and wishing they could have seen it in person. Others criticized the flyover, sparking a debate over the merits of the event. Some notable figures, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Eric Trump, responded to the flyover, with Hegseth posting a tongue-in-cheek comment and Eric Trump criticizing the "manufactured outrage" from the media.
The "Breakfast with the Blues" event has been a popular annual tradition, drawing large crowds and allowing spectators to watch the Blue Angels practice over the Gulf Coast.
