    No military service would form an aerobatic team composed of student pilots and have them fly 18 inches apart. The Blue Angels require a minimum of 500 tactical jet hours and the completion of at least one fleet tour. Usually candidates have 1500 or more hours and two+ fleet tours. The Thunderbirds have similar requirements. Still, an interesting film, with several stars early in their careers. Gail Russell was a beauty, but at this time stage fright and alcoholism were destroying her life and career. Sad ending, alone and at only 36 years of age.

      9-24-24 First of all this low budget movie (Peggy Castle first film) is about the very early Air Force days that started in 1947. The Blue Angles are U.S. Navy carrier qualified ball clangers who are a different breed of cats. Just know that movies are made for entertainment and profit. They are not instructional or intended to be accurate. Although Tom Cruse did try hard in Top Gun and Maverick. They tried hard to cram cameras into the tiny fighter cockpits..

    • @glenncox9128

      For purposes of the film only would they have cadets fly close acrobatic formations. That’s simply to incorporate both elements into one film, although obviously this would never occur in reality.
      So, that’s just Hollywood being Hollywood, although in this case there was at least a practical reason behind this story adaptation. Essentially, it was simply to cram as many different elements together into one film that they could, even though in reality these disparate elements would occur years apart.

    Hudson's part was small. He and Richard Long were the contract players Universal held onto when it took over International Films. They and James Best were the actors in this group of young guys. The rest, not so much.

    Faltou apenas introduzir no filme os outros aviões de instrução dos cadetes, os Primary treiners e os Basic trainers. Ou, em 1951 já não eram mais usados? Por que usaram somente os AT-6 no filme? Os amigos da USAF podem explicar? Fiquei realmente curioso.
