The U.S. Navy Blue Angels pilot responsible for a controversial, ultra-low-altitude swing above beachgoers in Pensacola, Florida, this week has allegedly admitted he made a mistake, despite Trump administration officials praising the risky flyby.
“He didn’t make excuses,” state Rep. Michelle Salzman, a military veteran whose district includes Pensacola, wrote on Facebook on Friday of a conversation she said she had with the pilot.
