The aerial acrobatic team cut short their performance Saturday when two of the jets made contact while flying in a diamond formation. A 4-foot-long missile rail came loose from one of the wings and fell into the water 2,500 feet from spectators.

On Sunday, the team said it would not perform again until an investigation could be completed.

"We just want to make sure that everything is perfect before we go back up in the air," said Capt. Angela Johnson, a spokeswoman for the group.
