No, no, no, dude.
The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds don't do anything that any fleet pilot cant do. The attributes that get people into a demo squad are always about attitude, consistency, personality and only then is it about ability.
Demo pilots are ambassadors and recruiters, and potential members are evaluated on how well they can motivate, and what kind of image they put forward. These are super-squared away individuals who never, never consider bending the rules.
If you could not fly, they would never put you in a fighter in the first place.

I would have placed ability a bit higher on the list than you, but what you wrote generally agrees with what I know. My next door neighbor was a Thunderbird '79-'81 and he falls in line exactly with your characterization. He is a great guy and engineer. I'd known him for a year before the context came up that he mentioned he was a Thunderbird, whereas I would probably wear it on my chest.
