I guess the show highlights the tenacity of air force pilots, showcasing their resilience amidst the challenges they faced, but I'm kind of reaching.

As many have said, the show has so much going on. Plus the series struggles with a fragmented narrative, making it challenging to track various characters or really buy-in to their arc.
There wasn't enough time in the sky.

I would have liked to see the initial stages of training in the US.

I would not have wanted to be air crew, never knowing when you die and being unable to take actions to reduce your likelihood of dying.

That would pick away at you nonstop, especially the sense survivor guilt. That would be monstrous.

There was no need to include the Black Squadron storyline in the show. The inclusion of that storyline had a big Affirmative Action vibe.

Still Air Force , FTW?

Good chow, showers and booze.
