navy.mil

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — The Navy says pilot error was the primary cause of a crash that claimed the life of a Blue Angels flier.

Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss was killed on June 2 while practicing for the Pensacola, Florida-based flight demonstration team outside Nashville, Tennessee.

A report released Thursday said Kuss' jet was traveling too fast and too low when he transitioned into a maneuver.
