you also don't learn to fly with the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds by turning
up at the hangar one day and asking if you can hang-about and absorb their
wisdom

rather, as you suggest, there IS a specific and regimented progression of
skills through training until one can fly the jet
then if one is exceptional, one might qualify fo the group


similarly, one might never be "good enough" to dive with WKKP (or fill in
your own equivalent for the Blue Angels)  but that does not mean that
formal technical TRAINING has no place
