Disgraced Blue Angels pilot Scott Lauxwas spotted for the first time since it emerged he had been removed from the elite Navy stunt squadron.
Marine Maj. Laux, 37, was mysteriously ousted from the teamfor what the Navy nebulously described as “failing to uphold standards.”
It was then revealed that Blue Angels public affairs officer Danielle Cribb –– whom Laux had described as a mentor on social media –– had previously been let go too, although a source denied to The Post that their removals were related.
With rumors swirling, second-year pilot Laux was seen shirtless Thursday at his home in Pensacola, Florida, alongside his wife Lisa Laux, 36, and both were spotted wearing wedding rings.
Earlier in the day, Laux was seen heading out to grab a bite to eat at a Popeyes restaurant near his home and came out wearing sunglasses, a sky-blue polo and black shorts.
“Scott cut a lonely figure in Popeyes, checking his phone while eating on his own,” an eyewitness said. “He seemed to be in a pensive mood, like he had a lot on his mind.”
Laux’s dismissal from the Blue Angels was revealed after he was missing from the homecoming air show at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Nov. 6.
The squad performed with five rather than its usual six planes for the show, which marked the military installation’s 200th anniversary.
Eagle-eyed observers noted that Laux’s photo and biographical page had been scrubbed from the Blue Angels’ official website and so had Cribb’s.
Chantilly, Virginia, native Laux married in 2013 after meeting his wife Lisa at the US Naval Academy, according to an engagement announcement in the Columbus Dispatch.
She served on the USS Wyoming, one of the Navy’s 14 doomsday ballistic missile submarines.
Laux graduated from the US Naval Academy in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in Chinese before completing Marine officer training and an extensive flight-training program.
His military honors include two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals and multiple unit awards.
Laux joined the Blue Angels in September 2024 and served as the team’s narrator in 2025.
Raised in Beaufort, SC, Cribb enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2012 and was deployed to Japan and Qatar, where she contributed to aviation operations and combat mission planning, according to a copy of her biography.
Cribb was commissioned as an officer in 2021 before joining the Blue Angels in September 2025.
Her decorations include three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, three Good Conduct Medals, and multiple unit awards.
Family members of Cribb denied that her removal from the website had any connection to Lauxand a source told The Post on Monday that she “was removed prior to and separate from Maj. [Scott] Laux.”
Officials have remained tight-lipped about what led to Laux being dropped from the Blue Angels.
“Blue Angel #6 was removed from the team for failing to uphold the standards expected of members of the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron,” a rep from the Naval Air Forces said Monday, referring to Laux.
