I love this! My uncle was an ace Navy pilot during WWII and was tapped to make training films, and did some flying for a war movie made during that era. This is just amazing footage! The upside down segment .... yikes! I think it was 2023, when there was an all women flyover of Navy pilots at the Super Bowl commemorating 50 years of female pilots in the Navy. That was epic, too.
