If the Blue Angels won’t fly it, you know it’s bad. Those dudes are Navy pilots with the biggest balls in the land.

Blue Angels have very specific flight profiles and if the conditions aren’t right, they don’t fly for public safety reasons.

To be able to perform, the Blue Angels must have at least three nautical miles of visibility horizontally from centerpoint, and a minimum cloud ceiling of 1,500 feet, which the FAA can waive to 1,000 feet. At these minimums, the Blue Angels can perform a limited number of maneuvers in what is called a “flat” show. When the ceiling is at least 4,500 feet and visibility at least three nautical miles, a “low” show can be performed, which includes some rolling maneuvers. With a minimum ceiling of 8,000 feet and visibility of three nautical miles, the Blue Angels can perform their “high” show, which includes all the maneuvers.

They were previously scheduled to fly in Kansas City July 6-7.
