Buckle up for the ride of a lifetime with former Blue Angel pilot, LCDR John Miller, USN. Flying inverted, inches apart, at speeds in excess of 300 mph required unwavering trust, unmatched teamwork, and nerves of steel. From 1976-1978, Miller wowed crowds and inspired future aviators as one of the team’s elite lead/opposing solo pilots.
