Watched it this afternoon. I thought it was good. The Blue Angels were followed for the entire 2022 show season beginning with practice at El Centro and concluding with selection of the three replacements for those pilots timing out, including the lead.
I found it a bit amusing that all the pilots where wear khaki garrison caps (yeah, I know there’s an obscene name for it). The Navy pilots all pinched the back of the hat down to the back of heir head, leaving a peak at the back of their cap. The lone Marine pilot (always one) did not do that to his cap.

My Girlfriend is a huge Blue Angels fan, saw them several times while she lived in Hawaii. We watched the documentary as well, she loved it, I was bored. Sorry, TMats!

Navy8ors do it to look cool.
Marine pilots don't, to avoid crossthreading issues...

So it kind of has an aircraft’s profile instead of a dickhead’s piss hole.
