Blue Angels planes touch midair during Pensacola practice
[Pensacola News Journal] Two U.S. Navy Blue Angel jets touched midair during a practice at Naval Air Station Pensacola, the Navy said Thursday.

The incident happened Wednesday, said Lt. Michelle Tucker, spokeswoman for Rear Adm. Daniel Dwyer, chief of naval air training.

"The No. 3 canopy made momentary contact with the underside of No. 1's outer wing during the Diamond 360 maneuver," Tucker said.

She said there were no injuries.

Capt. Eric Doyle, the Blue Angel's commanding officer, flies the No. 1 jet.

Doyle called a safety stand down after the planes made contact.
