Every year, the Thunderbirds team commits to performing complex, life-threatening, and (therefore) spectacular airshows in the best fighter jet the U.S. Army possesses. The slightest mistake can have fatal consequences, and history shows that 1 in 10 Thunderbirds is killed during training or a show. Every year, a new team is trained, and it is up to Colonel Nathan Malafa to forge the six new recruits into a team and secure certification for the 2023-2024 season. Attention is paid to the sacrifices the pilots and their families must make, as well as the crucial role of the technicians, whom the pilots must also be able to rely on implicitly. Unadulterated propaganda is undoubtedly fodder for every aviation enthusiast. See also The Blue Angels.
