Podcast: “Going One-On-One With An Angel”

Date Feb 5, 2025
Published in IMAX

When it comes to displays of aerial prowess, few pilots can match the razor-sharp skills of the Navy and Marine Corps selectees for the Blue Angels. The Navy’s storied Flight Demonstration Squadron has been going strong for 79 years, and Capt. Greg “Boss” Wooldridge was the team’s flight leader and commanding officer for an unprecedented three terms.

Wooldridge is also one of the executive producers of a thrilling new giant-screen film, The Blue Angels 3D, which will be playing at the Tennessee Aquarium IMAX 3D Theater beginning late January and throughout February 2025.

In this episode, Boss joins us in the studio to talk about blacking out on his first flight with the Blues and the importance of iron-clad team building to safely piloting multi-million-dollar jets at hundreds of miles an hour with only 18 inches separating them.
