--> 00:00:25,160 we want to succeed Bart reports under 7 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,960 attack by an enemy hind we get word over 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,119 the radio there's a hind out in the 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,560 objective 10 00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:32,560 area said n we got to go right now we're 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:42,280 spinning this is the last chance will he 12 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:46,399 like either Make It or Break It Around 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:48,719 gun 61 one away 30 14 00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,680 seconds we arrive at the merge and we go 15 00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,079 left to left and we both start honking 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,600 on G and we seeing the vapors coming off 17 00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:56,600 the upside of the Wings 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920 shot 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,920 a 20 00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:36,920 there's an old saying talk is cheap 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,280 action that's what 22 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,159 matters what you do in the sky defines 23 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,719 who you are in the 24 00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,000 end this is the last week of the Marine 25 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:49,719 Corps Premier weapon School known as 26 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,840 WTI and what these Pilots do in their 27 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:54,399 final days when the lights are brightest 28 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,039 will Define their 29 00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,479 legacy as the class faces the most 30 00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:02,479 intense and complex Evolutions yet they 31 00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:05,000 can also see the Finish Line ahead but 32 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:05,940 it will require all they have and more 33 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,090 to get 34 00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:09,090 [Music] 35 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,640 there in the final week of action at 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:21,080 Yuma a combat Evolution dubbed a aw3 37 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,480 puts the F-18 students and the Cobra 38 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:28,080 students shoulder toosh 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,800 shoulder F-18 student Spritz and Cobra 40 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,200 student spaz are Miss leaders for their 41 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,440 respective 42 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,360 divisions their mission strike four 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,159 targets deep in enemy 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,640 territory and in this non-live fire 45 00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:46,120 event instead of fighting an adversary 46 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,319 simulating a foreign country they're 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,319 fighting American 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,400 forces for aw3 the Twist on it was that 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,840 I was now the person trying to figure 50 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,159 out how to tackle the problem it's a 51 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,319 little bit of a Twist because I was 52 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,680 using blue blue equipment I was using 53 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:05,519 actual f-35s and actual f-18s so I 54 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,480 decided to look at myself in a mirror 55 00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:09,959 and say if I was trying to defend these 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,720 targets what would I do then I was able 57 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:13,640 to figure out what am I going to do to 58 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,480 explore those gaps in their coverage to 59 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:19,760 get in strike the targets and then get 60 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,519 out in this Evolution the highly 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,879 Advanced and classified f-35s joined The 62 00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:29,959 Fray flying on both sides and battling 63 00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:33,640 one another as they do the plan is for 64 00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:36,280 two waves of attacks first F-18 students 65 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:38,360 uncle and arms will lead an effort to 66 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,680 take out as many of the surface to- a 67 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,000 missile systems says they can then the 68 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,000 cobras can come in with air cover from 69 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,439 Spritz and nemire to strike Targets in 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,439 an urban complex dubbed yodaville 71 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,000 aw3 by Rolling is not super huge we're 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,920 going down low trying to shoot in some 73 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,680 anti-radiation missiles so we're just 74 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,840 kind of like in a helping roll at that 75 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:14,040 point after the first wave of attacks 76 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,040 uncle and Imes at the f-35s head back to 77 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:19,720 refuel there was still one surface air 78 00:04:17,479 --> 00:04:21,320 missile system that was online and this 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080 was like a pretty high-end surface air 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000 threat so we can't just go like flying 81 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,840 right past it it's going to shoot 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,800 everybody out of the sky so we needed 83 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:29,639 specific ordinance and a lot of 84 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,600 ordinance to kind of overwhelm this 85 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:36,400 system to take it out the f-35s Finish 86 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,639 refueling and once they do they want to 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,240 rush back out to attack the last Target 88 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:44,000 on their 89 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,560 own but Spritz steps in and makes a call 90 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,880 ordering them to hold until the full 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,160 Strike Force is refueled and can head 92 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,680 out 93 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,880 together Spritz did a really nice job 94 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,160 calling all stop and so he called them 95 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,000 like no negative wait for latch to get 96 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,800 back into the fight with all of their 97 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120 air to surf surface missiles as well and 98 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,280 we're going to overwhelm this thing with 99 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,360 everything that we got as soon as the 100 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:10,639 f18s got back on station he called the 101 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:12,720 play for everybody 99 roll call 102 00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:15,720 Black 103 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,720 s 104 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,000 b black 61 Min forces met Striker 105 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:25,000 pushing set to 106 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,840 25 everyone kind of broke the huddle 107 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,919 britz Neer Meer and myself went down low 108 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:36,680 at 1,000 ft all the way into the target 109 00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:38,479 area we were flying in a low altitude 110 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,639 environment in order to get very close 111 00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:44,639 to the Target area before we'd look to 112 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:48,440 pop up and deliver our ordinance L 113 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:48,440 attack L 61 114 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,720 popping as we employed we got our bomb 115 00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:57,120 off met Mission success and the once 116 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120 again attempted to get below the radar 117 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,280 Horizon 61 one you are 118 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,319 dead and we actually got shot and died 119 00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,880 by a simulated surface to air threat 120 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:10,400 just before we Dro below the radar 121 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,840 Horizon damn all right gav let's pick up 122 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,120 a vector North and get out of the 123 00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:17,400 fight it was a pretty Bittersweet 124 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:21,440 scenario to know that we were so close 125 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:24,240 to having a nearly perfect nearly 126 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,880 exceptional flight to know that we died 127 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,720 at the very end right after we met 128 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,479 Mission 129 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,039 success those sprits and neire were 130 00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:35,400 taken out their attack run has opened 131 00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:38,160 the way for spaz and the cobras to 132 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,880 strike the final targets with easy and 133 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,759 the remaining Jets providing air 134 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,160 cover the jet guys were fantastic they 135 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:47,759 backed me up and had full coverage of me 136 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,720 the entire time so I didn't have to get 137 00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,680 shot down by a different jet which would 138 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,479 have been very 139 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:57,360 unfortunate armed and rifle 140 00:06:54,479 --> 00:06:59,759 one the timing lined up really well the 141 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,720 way that as a group the jack guys went 142 00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:05,120 through their initial plan and then how 143 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,240 we fell in good 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,120 track they made sure that they covered 145 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,319 us we had good CMS between each other 146 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,520 and we had very clear Triggers on how it 147 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:15,520 was going to go stand 148 00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:28,520 by ultimately we were able to do our 149 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,840 mission we made it all the way there we 150 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840 struck our targets and then we made a 151 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:40,360 home it's Mission success for the f18s 152 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:43,639 and cobras and even though Spritz and 153 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,599 nemire were shot down in the end Spritz 154 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:48,120 seems confident it won't affect 155 00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:51,000 evaluation of their performance or hurt 156 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,879 their chances to earn an invitation back 157 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,280 as WTI 158 00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:57,440 instructors we had Mission success we 159 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,120 struck all four targets I think we got 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,560 our bombs off before we died so I think 161 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,520 that's the good news so at least it 162 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,879 wasn't all in vain but overall I would 163 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,639 say it went pretty well we'll see what 164 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,759 the replay says I definitely saw like 165 00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:11,240 some some big boy decisions being made 166 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:14,199 they did a nice job quarterbacking 167 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,599 though uh coming up with a game plan 168 00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:18,520 that was a mission success overall win 169 00:08:16,599 --> 00:08:20,440 the boys definitely needed it now having 170 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,120 turned this corner hopefully they can 171 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,720 like kind of ride this trajectory out 172 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,280 through FX and we can get the W and get 173 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,240 these guys home with a patch but it's 174 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,479 looking good so 175 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,479 far 176 00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:36,880 I think we overall as a group did really 177 00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:38,800 well Jets hit their to Jets hit their 178 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,880 targets our guys all hit the targets 179 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,360 again so if anything's left there it's 180 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360 definitely not 181 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,360 anymore they say that slow and steady 182 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,920 wins the race well spaz has been just 183 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,040 that steady all the way through today 184 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,880 might have provided the punctuation she 185 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,760 needed to establish her as the best of 186 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,200 the best best and earn an invitation 187 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,000 back as a WTI 188 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,959 instructor you guys were pretty much 189 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,920 right in trail and at that same time uh 190 00:09:09,959 --> 00:09:13,600 latch was executing their second attacks 191 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,720 they got effects on the first two dpis 192 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,920 and they came around for re attacks on 193 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,640 the second two you put your best foot 194 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,839 forward for certain events because if 195 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,959 you're thinking somebody may or may not 196 00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:22,560 be able to hack it in that role you 197 00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:24,680 don't want to derail the training for 198 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:26,320 everybody else so we put spaz in that 199 00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:27,640 role cuz we knew she could plan take 200 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,680 information and come up with a creative 201 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,760 solution overall looking get over 202 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:34,800 timeline and I had final retired around 203 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,399 2143 for all Venom that were operating 204 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:42,040 in yodaville good 205 00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:45,200 see today was a huge win for spaz but as 206 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:49,240 always there's little time to celebrate 207 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,920 WTI concludes in only a few days and the 208 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:56,279 cobras and huis must turn attention to 209 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,279 their final mission just around the 210 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120 corner 211 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,000 7 weeks of grueling training have pushed 212 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,120 the pilots to their 213 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,200 Brink but nothing will compare to what 214 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,480 comes 215 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:18,200 next one final evolution incorporating 216 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,360 every type of aircraft on base each 217 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:26,279 doing everything they've learned during 218 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,279 their time in Yuma it's known as 219 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:34,920 finx 220 00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:37,399 last one so that's a good thing ready 221 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,399 for it be 222 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,720 over during 223 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:48,680 finex the f18s will be providing air 224 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,320 cover for the cobras while they in turn 225 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:54,639 provide assault support for a ground 226 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,760 force the Hues they'll be spread out to 227 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:59,680 three different locations to set up 228 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,160 bases transport troops and provide 229 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,160 assault 230 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:10,440 support there's like 27 missions ongoing 231 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,639 simultaneously and not the biggest range 232 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,480 space in the 233 00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:17,839 world the challenging aspect is the fact 234 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,800 that you are integrating in a very very 235 00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:22,800 short amount of time with every other 236 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:25,000 department you are having to make a plan 237 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,519 that is executable that accomplishes the 238 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,279 mission but it's that integration in the 239 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:34,510 very short amount of time that creates 240 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:36,040 the greatest challenge in my opinion of 241 00:11:34,510 --> 00:11:38,120 [Music] 242 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,519 finex before we get out to the plan can 243 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,920 you pull up a copy of the dsum training 244 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,000 rules on your tablet so we can go over 245 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,959 it with 246 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,760 everybody this is the last chance for 247 00:11:45,959 --> 00:11:51,920 students to prove themselves worthy not 248 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:56,480 only of graduating but more importantly 249 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,360 being invited back as a WTI instructor 250 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,120 I'm going to be going out to the north 251 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,920 objective area area we're going to work 252 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,480 on setting up multiple expeditionary 253 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,160 Advanced bases and then continuously 254 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,680 moving them farther 255 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,560 north this is the last chance will he 256 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:14,600 like either Make It or Break It I'm 257 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:18,079 flying with zika for the last one he's a 258 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:21,079 department head that last impression is 259 00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:24,320 the standing impression hopefully don't 260 00:12:21,079 --> 00:12:26,720 mess it up too bad oh 261 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,920 yeah oh yeah while Chopper hopes for a 262 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,760 clean flight fellow Huey student tinkle 263 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,760 looks to reestablish himself as the best 264 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,360 of the best his major misstep in week 265 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,959 two of flight phase led to a harsh 266 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,959 debrief that debrief will stay top of 267 00:12:40,959 --> 00:12:46,680 mine mostly because tinkle will be 268 00:12:43,959 --> 00:12:48,279 flying with instructor Wolf the man who 269 00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:50,480 leveled the 270 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:53,160 criticism there going to be a really big 271 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,440 mission and I was looking forward to 272 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,839 some extent like almost redeem myself a 273 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,980 little bit see you guys 274 00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:02,040 later 275 00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:03,680 [Music] 276 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,079 shouldn't we have all the 277 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,160 essay in the Cobra division two students 278 00:13:07,079 --> 00:13:10,680 have separated from the rest as the 279 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,680 course has 280 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,680 intensified spaz and 281 00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:18,440 CarX while spaz delivered big in the 282 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,320 last 283 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:24,600 evolution CarX has given the role of air 284 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,720 Mission Commander for finex the stakes 285 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,639 couldn't be higher ultimately what that 286 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,880 requires that I know where everybody's 287 00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:34,720 going what they're doing how many people 288 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,760 they're taking and then I roll people to 289 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,600 different places it's a big 290 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,040 responsibility it is daunting and 291 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,399 especially when you're so close to being 292 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,720 done you kind of just want to be done 293 00:13:42,399 --> 00:13:50,240 and you know ride off into the sunset 294 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:52,600 but that wasn't the case for me 201 82 I 295 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,839 got put on to to be the escort flight 296 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:59,199 lead so basically I was responsible for 297 00:13:55,839 --> 00:14:00,759 protecting either ospre ch 53s Hues 298 00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:02,040 whoever's going in and then basically 299 00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:04,639 still just supporting the guys on Deck 300 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,560 when they get there it was really unique 301 00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,040 being able to work with everyone 302 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:10,199 everyone wants to win everyone wants it 303 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,120 to go well so it was less nerves it was 304 00:14:10,199 --> 00:14:14,360 more just excitement to do it cuz it's 305 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,480 the Big M like we want to go out we want 306 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,680 to succeed we want to do well and 307 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,079 everyone playing wants to win all right 308 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,079 I'm heading 309 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,399 out everyone knows that finex is the big 310 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:34,360 mission and what means for reputation 311 00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:38,680 and graduation but for the F-18 students 312 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,759 staying on point isn't as easy as it 313 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,040 sounds 314 00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:46,240 exed I'm super tired 315 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,320 yeah everyone thinks graduation is 2 316 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040 days off so you're kind of trying to 317 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,320 keep yourself in the game we haven't 318 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,720 graduated yet and still got to go out 319 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,000 and execute and do these pretty you know 320 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:59,440 complex Evolutions I think that all of 321 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,639 the the uh the adversary aircrafter F5s 322 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,800 from the 401 guys and we'll see if they 323 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:05,360 can um see if they can keep up yeah I'm 324 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,959 not so sure we got a Top Gun grb right 325 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,199 here so he's done this once or twice 326 00:15:07,959 --> 00:15:11,279 yeah every fighter pilot like wants to 327 00:15:10,199 --> 00:15:13,680 go to the merge and have a good 328 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,560 oldfashioned dog fight you know getting 329 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,839 enclos and 330 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,440 personal merge is where both aircraft 331 00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:21,800 arrive at the same piece of sky and a 332 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,279 very close proximity to each other and 333 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:27,199 now you are both turning as hard as the 334 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:30,279 aircraft will allow you to turn to try 335 00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:33,560 to gain a a angular advantage to employ 336 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:35,079 a weapon that you have to win caffeine 337 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,319 caffeine is good I I held off on the 338 00:15:35,079 --> 00:15:37,720 five outter energies until the last 339 00:15:36,319 --> 00:15:41,399 couple days I didn't take any 5 out 340 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,600 energies until it's past few days it's 341 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,480 probably the most fun that we have in 342 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,680 the jet that would obviously be a great 343 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,639 way to end it is to end it the merge you 344 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:52,880 know with a guns kill on an 345 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:55,160 F5 so kids are pretty tired by now cuz 346 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880 it's been a long course so uh it's just 347 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,120 keeping your head in the game and 348 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,639 sticking it out to the Finish Line you 349 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,120 know 350 00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:02,480 really this is a moving defensive 351 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,560 counter 352 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,079 a there's a bunch of helicopters and 353 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480 Marines on the deck that are moving 354 00:16:07,079 --> 00:16:10,560 forward in the battle space and then 355 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,000 moving back and the whole time we just 356 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,759 have to provide kind of that persistent 357 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,120 air coverage so they can have that 358 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:18,079 freedom of maneuver think localized air 359 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,120 superiority is what we call it so we're 360 00:16:18,079 --> 00:16:25,360 going to own the sky for 45 minutes to 3 361 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360 hours all 362 00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:30,519 right 363 00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:36,970 [Music] 364 00:16:45,319 --> 00:16:50,240 feeling good it's a nice day today good 365 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,759 day to go flying you know everyone's 366 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,519 starting to start up the f35s are 367 00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:55,519 taxiing out so we're ready to 368 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,480 rock 369 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,520 as finex Begins the students will have 370 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:08,679 to contend as usual with the adversary 371 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:12,280 Squadron but today F5s aren't the only 372 00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:15,240 adversary aircraft they'll 373 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,400 face everybody focuses on hey where are 374 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,600 the 375 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,959 fighters and they forget about the 376 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,319 attack helicopters that are out there 377 00:17:19,959 --> 00:17:24,039 that can do a lot of damage and know by 378 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:26,079 the way it's easy to forget about them 379 00:17:24,039 --> 00:17:29,000 when you're planning and oh by the way 380 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,720 they can be pretty tough to see and get 381 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,600 really close and personal to shoot down 382 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,120 assault aircraft and and create quite a 383 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:38,080 bit of Havoc JT does a phenomenal job of 384 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:43,120 being that player in the 385 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:45,400 problem that's right JT AKA Ivan will be 386 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:49,039 joining the fry in a Russian combat 387 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,039 helicopter called the 388 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,400 hind as the students contend against 389 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,720 Ivan and everything else in the kitchen 390 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,039 sink F sees the opportunity she's been 391 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,240 waiting for

--> 00:34:46,419 [Music] 765 00:34:48,359 --> 00:34:54,879 there very few of us will ever get the 766 00:34:51,399 --> 00:34:54,879 chance to achieve true 767 00:34:54,919 --> 00:35:00,119 greatness but we all know what it looks 768 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,520 like when we see it don't 769 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:06,480 we these combat Pilots have clearly 770 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,280
