THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: July 1, 2009
BOSTON—The Blue Angels have scrubbed plans for a low-level photo flight over downtown Boston because of rainy weather.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said Wednesday the Navy’s aerial demonstration team plans to depart from North Kingstown, R.I., and fly over the Naval War College in Newport, before heading to Binghamton, N.Y., for a planned appearance.
Originally the Angels planned to photograph the USS Constitution in Boston, but changed those plans for a general flyover because the historic ship is undergoing renovation.
Officials announced the possible Wednesday flyover to avoid public alarm. Federal authorities were criticized in April after an unannounced New York City photo flyover by Air Force One panicked some people who were reminded of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The Blue Angels performed at the Rhode Island National Guard Open House and Air Show over the weekend
