Hop inside a Blue Angel cockpit with LCDR Scott Goossens for this exclusive interview! Callsign "Jamammy", Scott flew in the 2022/2023 show seasons and was featured prominently in the new film "The Blue Angels", streaming on Amazon Prime Video now.
Scott breaks down falling in love with aviation, joining the Blue Angels, filming the movie, and how he tackled the challenges of his second year on the team (not chronicled in the film). He also dives deep on some technical questions that Blue Angel fans interested in the nuts and bolts of how the demonstration works will find fascinating.
