Transkript
00:00Six jets flying 18 inches apart,
00:04nearly at the speed of sound.
00:08You are microseconds of lag
00:10from a life-threatening situation.
00:18The Thunderbirds of the United States Air Force's Display Team.
00:23And they're demonstrating to airshows all across the world.
00:27They are already the best combat pilots the Air Force has to offer.
00:32But air demonstration is a completely different animal.
00:36We're always under a little bit of, like, the I'm-going-to-die factor.
00:43The pilots on this team
00:44put absolute trust in me as the formation leader.
00:50I'm in charge of the training for the teams.
00:52If it's a bad flight, it's only on me.
00:54We have three new pilots joining the team this year.
00:58They told me the rules.
01:00Y'all hit the ground.
01:07The high bomb burst
01:08is one of the most dangerous things we do.
01:11It's nostalgic because the high bomb burst
01:13was our last fatal accident.
01:15As a newbie, there is immense amount of pressure
01:19to get this right.
01:22He's behind.
01:24Come on, catch up.
01:26His rejoin angle is off.
01:29Come on!
01:30We're going to pick apart everything that went wrong.
01:33And it's going to feel like
01:34you're getting crushed.
01:36I keep over-rolling on the top.
01:40It's the most frustrating thing I've ever done.
01:43You don't want to be the reason the team fails.
01:46Pull up, pull up.
01:49You have to keep making the same mistake
01:51over and over and over again
01:54until it clicks.
01:58It's not just me putting myself in danger.
02:00It's now doing that with a young family
02:03that is starting to understand that risk.
02:08The wingmen don't know
02:09where the ground and the sky are.
02:11They only know where Astro is.
02:14If you don't have blind trust,
02:17this show will not work.
02:20We can't just be good.
02:22We have to be extraordinary.
