Have to agree with OD really.
I would like to have seen a bit more background leading to the selection (where did they get the poseur with the surf-bum hair and Wham stubble?) and a lot more of the early flying - especially debriefs.
However, interviews with the vets was really interesting and not the tabloid sensationalism I half-expected. Flying footage was fairly good, but not as good or as varied as it could have been.
All in all, interesting and looking promising, but clearly a programme on a budget - not enough crashes in it I suppose for a flying documentary.
