Thunderbirds: La élite de la Fuerza Aérea de EE. UU.

At an air show the public just sees the product. The documentary does show what all the work there is in getting to the final product. Breaks down to a degree each performing pilot and tells a little of their background before becoming a team member. Shows to a lesser degree logistics, medical, maintainers, administrative personnel and their roles on the team. So a viewer does come away with a sense of the total team and how each is dependent on each other doing their job. It is good for the public to see all that and understand it as well. Shows the hard training required to get the routines down to perfection. Really enjoyed it and believe anyone would like this documentary. On another note...wasn't too keen that some personnel wearing short sleeve uniforms had exposed tattoos showing. That did not sit too well with this old USAF retired MSGT. Doubt that would bother anyone else who watches it, but that is the only thing keeping me from giving this a 10. Highly recommend viewing this.

This movie is outstanding and there are so many "life lessons" packed inside of the film. It's a real life, and at times emotional, look at the pilots, families, and support crew that comprise the USAF Thunderbird demonstration team. The viewer gets a peek behind the curtain on how challenging but rewarding it is to be a Thunderbird pilot. One can't help by getting drawn into "Primo's" rejoin issues or the impact that the time away from home has on the families. After watching, you'll appreciate the sacrifices that all the team members make to fulfill an important mission.

Definitely an inspiring movie and I rate it a 10!

I live in the UK and I just loved watching this documentary about the Thunderbirds. It is inspiring to all humans. These pilots just blow your mind with the risks they take and the huge team of people behind them all essential to their success including their families. The footage filmed from inside the cockpit is just shocking and mind blowing. I must go and see a Thunderbird display in the states. At a time (27.5.25) when everyone is looking at the USA and thinking WTF this documentary shows you what is great about the USA. I did wonder if Primo's difficulties were purely for the camera and to make the story more interesting. However pulling a 7G manoeuvre is not for anyone other than super humans. Thank-you for your dedication Thunderbirds.

The documentary immerses viewers in the high-stakes world of the Thunderbirds, capturing the precision, discipline, and camaraderie required to execute complex aerial maneuvers.

Through stunning cinematography and in-cockpit footage, audiences experience the thrill of formations like the Diamond Pass and the Opposing Hit, where jets fly mere inches apart at supersonic speeds.

While the aerial displays are mesmerizing, the documentary delves deeper, exploring the personal sacrifices and rigorous training that define the Thunderbirds.

It follows new team members as they undergo a grueling two-month certification process, emphasizing the "blind trust" essential among pilots flying in close formation .

All in all I loved watching this documentary and would highly recommend it!

I can't say enough about this documentary! I wouldn't say I know a lot about the Air Force, or what it takes, but this documentary did such a great job at giving you an all access insight into the unbelievable skill and determination it takes to be at this level. At so many points in the documentary I was terrified for the pilots, just beyond impressive. I loved the style and feel of how it was filmed it just felt like you knew the pilots and understood each of their stories. I hope to see more documentaries like this. Really enjoyable watch and one that I walked away from with a greater appreciation of these pilots and what they do.
