No. It was because he carried the missile in the other cockpit. In the original script, he's dismissed because drunk, and he steals a missile that he puts in the second cockpit, then crashes in the primary weapon. Test audiences hated it because it was less of a sacrifice, while the Sidewinder jamming was more poignant.

Also when the tomcat was introduced we were going through the oil crisis. Both the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds switched to T-38s to be more optic-friendly.

I was thinking of F-4s that both of them flew at the same time. Which doesn't really scream as an airframe I'd want to use for an airshow.

The Luftwaffe's team used F-104s. https://aerobaticteams.net/en/teams/i201/Vikings.html

The filtering doesnt bother me as much because it can help with contrast, etc. but it can be a bit heavy handed. The shooping is more concerning. Then again with current cameras and shit what they can capture is pretty amazing
