Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Blue Angels (2024)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- IMAX cameras were too large to be put inside airplane cockpits or on airplane wings, so the film crew rigged them to a helicopter that flew among the demonstration planes, the first time civilian aircraft was allowed inside "the box", the Blue Angels' performance airspace.
- The film shows the Blue Angels' first female fighter jet demonstration pilot, Amanda Lee, being inducted during production, and the crew then helped train Lee and the other pilots selected to fly in the next Blue Angel season.
- A special camera running at 1,000 frames per second was used to capture the vapors coming off the jets.
