State of the YouTube channel: Blue Angel Phantoms

07/23/20 • 18 min

It's been two months since I last published an episode of the podcast so I thought this was the perfect time to catch up and let you know what has been going on behind the scenes as well as share the story of the recently published short documentary about the 1982 Blue Angels team that I published on the Blue Angel Phantoms YouTube channel.
Don't worry, there will be more interviews of former Blue Angel pilots and crew in future episodes!
