#the blue angles

I saw the Blue Angels documentary last night (the one produced by Glen Powell & JJ Abrams) and it was amazing! Several of the shots of them flying really made me feel like I was right there in the cockpit. And let me tell you, there is a HUGE difference in reading that they fly 18 inches apart and actually seeing them fly that close. The skill these pilots have is just incredible. And a heads up, that if you were like me and thought it was going to be narrated by Glen or have him in it at any point, you will be slightly disappointed. It's not a narrated documentary and you only see Glen for a few moments when he's talking about the Blue Angels Foundation charity right before the movie starts. Despite that, it was still a fantastic documentary and now I need someone to make one about the Air Force Thunderbirds! 😄 Also, do yourself a favor and try to see it in true IMAX if possible and not that faux digital IMAX places like AMC has. Blue Angels deserves to been seen in all of it's 70mm glory.

You could mistake them for a thunder storm. Its when they turn you hear the unnatural howl of the jets. When they swoop down and you feel the windows start to shake. Like some man made storm god. There dance is for the celebration, for the hundreds of subjects coming out to watch and praise them. But they could destroy us if they wished. Its there nature to kill. These brightly colored plans are the domesticated dancers to there murderous siblings. Preforming to remind us were "safe" but also to remind us of our place. Most will only see there final beautiful dance. I hear them thundering overheard for days.
