The first time I saw this 'chair flying' is the Blue Angels briefing room video[0]. Can they actually remember the whole flow with the drawings etc. and imagine the whole scene with their hand movements etc? Absolutely unbelievable. I've never missed them in all the years since I moved to San Francisco. They're so tight in when they fly and they visualize the whole thing in a chair? Crazy to me.

I'm not a blue angel, but when I used to be a pilot literally every time I went to sim, I would chairfly for maybe an hour a night, visualizing and moving my hand to where the switch was, etc. for each and every emergency procedure. It works quite well.
