How “Boss” Gil Rud of the Blue Angels takes listeners on a journey from a humble upbringing in a one-room school in North Dakota to Flight Leader of the Blue Angels. He speaks of overcoming challenges and dealing with bullying growing up. As piloting the lead aircraft in the Blue Angels from 1986 to 1988, he describes the importance of compartmentalization to block out distractions, sometimes flying only 18 inches apart from wingtip to wingtip during airshows.
And in his spirit of gratitude, “Boss” Gil Rud discusses his involvement with the Blue Angels Foundation that helps wounded veterans as he makes a cameo appearance in the 2024 documentary that can be watched on Amazon Prime.
