... that the a 2024 film documents the journey of becoming a Blue Angel?

Source: film that chronicles a year in the life of the flight demonstration squadron — from the selection process and the challenging training to the demands of a grueling show season.

ALT1: ... that a 2024 film has been called an advertisement for the Blue Angels, their planes, the military, and patriotism? Source: The movie is an ad for The Blue Angels, the Navy, planes, the military generally, and an iconography-based sense of patriotism

Article looks to be new and long enough. Looks to be well-sourced as far as I can tell. QPQ is done. I think the hook is just missing some context for readers with no outside knowledge. (For example, the language in the article lead uses the phrase "the Blue Angel pilots of the United States Navy".) Either hook can potentially work, and it will become a question of length. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Bruxton asked me to stop by and offer some ALT hooks, so here you go. At the very least, perhaps they inspire more hooks.

ALT2: ... that the Blue Angels inspired Top Gun and that The Blue Angels was co-produced by a Top Gun: Maverick star? [1]
ALT3: ... that The Blue Angels captured the story of their first female fighter jet pilot "through a fluke of production timing"? [2]
ALT4: ... that The Blue Angels was shot using IMAX cameras rigged to a helicopter? [3]
ALT5: ... that The Blue Angels was shot using IMAX cameras rigged to a helicopter, plus an ultra-high-speed camera shooting at 1,000 frames per second? [4] [5]
ALT6: ... that the filming of The Blue Angels was the first time civilian aircraft was allowed to fly inside "the box"? [6]

I have modified the article accordingly to support these hooks. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Cielquiparle: pinging the reviewer Shooterwalker. Bruxton (talk) 03:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These all have potential! The best one for clarity is ALT3, because it makes it clear that this relates to jet pilots. But it would be a little better if it made it clear that this is about a film. The others (particularly ALT4 and ALT5) aren't clear on this fact. They could all be made clear with just a little more context (e.g.: the film is about jet pilots), because I think that some of the others are more interesting. Any of them can be made to work with a little more tweaking. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a ping to keep the discussion moving. @Cielquiparle: @Bruxton: Shooterwalker (talk) 02:19, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shooterwalker: Sorry I was called away for a few days. There are 8 hooks, can you approve any? I prefer to have less info in the hook, and a promotor will also choose the hook they like and or tweak. Bruxton (talk) 03:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay. Let's work with ALT3, with some modifications:

ALT3b: ... that the film The Blue Angels documented the story of their first female fighter jet pilot "through a fluke of production timing"?

Just to make it clear that the article is about a film. (The hook is also good because it gives a sense of what the film is about -- jet pilots.) Does that work for you? Shooterwalker (talk) 16:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shooterwalker: Thank you much, can you give it a green tick? Bruxton (talk) 20:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad we could figure it out. ALT3b is approved.

Shooterwalker (talk) 19:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT5 seems the most interesting to me and it is confirmed and in the article. Seems we already ran the first female on DYK and firsts are getting too much scrutiny lately. Lightburst (talk) 16:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
