After learning that 10% of Blue Angel pilots have died in accidents, I no longer enjoy the shows. It’s frankly immoral to ask some of our finest people to take chances like that for any purpose short of outright combat with the enemy. Much less entertainment.

[New Perspective]

They are not asked for the opportunity to fly for the Blue Angels, they apply for the position completely voluntarily.

That percentage seems a bit high to me. I might have difficulty believing 1 percent.
