Blue Angels 2021: Behind the Scenes, Corpus Christi (NEW SHORT DOCUMENTARY)

Описание: Go behind the scenes in this cinematic short documentary and meet the 2021 Blue Angels team as they kick off their 75th anniversary and prepare for the Wings Over South Texas Air Show in Corpus Christi, TX.

This year's air show presents unique challenges for the Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, as the originally scheduled event was moved from the traditional location at NAS Corpus Christi to a remote show along the shores of the down town area. To complicate matters further, the weekend is plauged by several days of rain and low visibility, creating concern for all the air show participants.

Hear directly from members of the Blue Angels as they assess conditions and develop mitigation plans, only for the schedule to continuously change as the weather deteriorates. Get a sense for what a day in the life of a Blue Angels pilot is like as they go to the gym, engage with the local community and collaborate with US Navy Leap Frogs. Watch as the team eventually straps into their new F/18 Super Hornets and put on an unforgettable show for the people of Corpus Christi.
