In this military video, beach bums ogle a low-speed pass from a Blue Angels F/A-18 Hornet at Pensacola Beach, Fla. As they stand transfixed, the crowd fails to notice the approach of a low-altitude, high-speed jet heading their way. It’s only after the flyby streaks across the beach and the aircraft’s pressure wave launches tents and umbrellas into the air that Blue Angels’ spell was broken.
No one was harmed during this stunt, but it sure makes a good story to tell around the watercooler.
