RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — A jet flying with the Blue Angels blew out a tire Wednesday during practice for the Reno Air Races, according to a spokeswoman.
No injuries were reported in the incident, though several emergency vehicles could be seen responding on the ground at Reno-Stead Airport.
The Blue Angels are part of the demonstrations scheduled for the Reno Championship Air Races.
Tragedy struck the squadron in June when a Blue Angels pilot died in a crash during a practice flight near Nashville, Tennessee.
