Puzzled PandaCorrection (7/15/2024): One observant solver discovered an error in this week’s puzzle and is the first recipient of the coveted “Puzzled Panda” award.
The former 25 Across clue was: Blue Angels org., which would suggest NAVY or USN
— neither of which both fits the grid and matches the clue syntax, nor is the intended answer.
The corrected clue now reads: Inits. on a B-52.
