I spy with my little eye… Raj Atluru and John Foley on the 18th tee. John was the Lead Pilot for the Blue Angels and flew the opening scenes for Top Gun.
John shared some of the training and teamwork techniques that the Blue Angels use to push performance and precision to new levels. During some maneuvers at 400 knots, the wingtip of the adjacent plane was precisely 18 inches above John’s canopy.
In the lengthy post-flight debrief and safety review meetings, each Blue Angel begins with “Glad to be here.”
