BOSTON — Rainy weather has cancelled the Blue Angels plans for a low-level photo flight over downtown Boston.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said Wednesday the Navy’s aerial demonstration team now 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 2001 terrorist attacks.
