The removals of a Blue Angels pilot and public-affairs officer from the elite air team have nothing to do with one another, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Capt. Danielle Cribb – who had been serving as the premier air group’s public-affairs chief – “was removed prior to and separate from Maj. [Scott] Laux,” the source told The Post on Monday.

The Navy has not disclosed when or why Cribb, 34, was ousted from her role and has provided only a vague reason for Laux’s apparently recent termination. 

“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.

The mystery surrounding Laux’s dismissal from the stunt squadron took off last weekend after only five planes participated in an air show in Pensacola, Florida – instead of the team’s standard six-jet formation, according to the Pensacola News Journal. 

Around the same time, the second-year Blue Angel’s photo and biographical page were scrubbed from the famed airmen’s official website.

Eagle-eyed aviation fans soon pointed out that Cribb’s profile had also seemingly disappeared from the website – a revelation that sparked rampant speculation about the nature of the duo’s possible connection. 

Resurfaced photos show both now-ex-employees together at a Pensacola Blue Wahoos minor-league baseball game in April, when Laux presented Cribb a promotional award behind home plate.

Laux was described in the social-media post as Cribb’s “mentor.”

Family members of Cribb declined to discuss her employment status, only insisting that her removal from the Blue Angels’ website had nothing to do with Laux, when reached by The Post on Monday. 

Cribb, who was raised in Beaufort, South Carolina, 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 an online bio. 

She was commissioned as an officer in 2021 and joined the Blue Angels just over a year ago. Her decorations include three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, three Good Conduct Medals and multiple unit awards.

Laux, who hails from Chantilly, Va., 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.

He joined the Blue Angels in September 2024 and served as the team’s narrator in 2025 before becoming one of its lead solo pilots. 

He married fellow academy alum Lisa Laux after graduation. She served on the USS Wyoming, one of the Navy’s 14 doomsday ballistic missile submarines. It is unclear if the pair are still together.

Neither Scott nor Lisa Laux returned Post messages. Other family members declined to comment.

The Blue Angels, formed in 1946, are among the Navy’s best known flight demonstration teams, performing precision aerial shows across the country.
