Here is a blurb from the Blue Angels website:
On Aug 25, 1946, the team moved from the original Hellcat to the Grumman F8F Bearcat airplanes. There were five main planes – number 5 was a solo pilot. Then the role of the “enemy” plane was performed by Bearcat which has been painted in the same colors as the original enemy SNJ and received the nickname “Beetle Bomb.”
The first tragedy for the Blue Angels comes on September 29, 1946. While performing individual aerobatic maneuvers, Lieutenant Ross Robinson died. While performing the Cuban Eight maneuver, he dangerously approached ground, accelerated too hard, which caused the tearing of the wing tips.
