[MilCom] Blue Angels at Dobbins

[Andy]

Hey,

Caught a newspaper article concerning this while in Chattanooga for the 
show. I found a quick blurb on the web

This is from: http://www.wrcbtv.com/news/news.cfm?DID=15535

"Pieces Fall From Blue Angels Jet
Metal pieces fell off a Blue Angels jet this afternoon and hit a 
Chattanooga school ball field this afternoon.
The principal of Notre Dame High school says the incident happened just 
as classes were dismissing for the day. Students came up to school 
officials, showing them the debris. One piece was four feet long and 
eight inches wide. No one was hurt.
The jet reportedly flew to Warner-Robbins Air Force Base for repairs. 
The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform Saturday and Sunday at the 
Chattanooga Air Show."

Great show and great weather!  Got some pictures up from the show.
