Blue Angels CO resigns
Blue Angels CO resigns after leading low flyover
By William H. McMichael - Staff writer
Posted : Friday May 27, 2011 14:08:56 EDT
Koss was relieved by Rear Adm. Bill Sizemore, chief of Naval Air Training Command, according to a statement from Naval Air Forces.
“With deep personal regret I shared with my command today that I will be voluntarily leaving the greatest flight demonstration team. I performed a maneuver that had an unacceptably low minimum altitude,” Koss wrote in the statement. “This maneuver, combined with other instances of not meeting the airborne standard that makes the Blue Angels the exceptional organization that it is, led to my decision to step down.”
Koss will be replaced by Capt. Greg McWherter, previous CO of the Blue Angels, for the rest of the season.

It seems that the powers that be listen too much to JAG advice (sorry Dave) and should simply say "Hey he screwed up and we are relieving him of command" I know the Angels are back home in P-Cola training. They were suppose to do the fly over at the Naval Academy commencement yesterday but were grounded so this must have been one really screwed pooch

I didn't mean to start a serious discussion. I just figured since the thread was already hijacked I could make light of the Marine compulsion with history and tradition.

That would be an interesting thread. I hadn't ever thought about what it would be like to enlist having no idea what job would be waiting for you. It would be cool to find out if they did think about it and what job they would have picked, what they got, and how it turned out.
