It was a documentary because it documented the start of the training season and the run up to PDA for two new RAFAT pilots. It did it well, sympathetically, without undue dramatisation but with enough to hold the public viewer's interest. It showed that the RAFAT pilots are normal young men with a special talent, not arrogant prima donnas, and that to achieve the required standard of flying requires incredible determination, commitment, nerve and above all teamwork.
It did not set out to be a documentary about RAFAT's history, how it is organised, administered and operated, which is presumably what you were hoping for.
We know your opinion of it. Of course you would have done it much better. Now PLEASE give it a rest.
