00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,360 and why are we doing a flight show i 96 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:03,840 think the the purpose of that is to uh 97 00:04:09,509 --> 00:04:06,000 give our listeners a good sense of what 98 00:04:11,429 --> 00:04:09,519 it takes what it's like uh to be uh to 99 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:11,439 be a pilot you know it particularly from 100 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,040 the air force perspective so that's kind 101 00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:15,200 of the background that all of you have 102 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,120 what is it like becoming a pilot was it 103 00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:19,600 like being in the pilot culture 104 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:21,120 what kind of experience and depth of 105 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:23,199 experience do most pilots have by the 106 00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:24,960 time they retire and we're going to get 107 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:27,120 into other topics like identifying 108 00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,400 objects in the sky 109 00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:30,080 being able to identify objects on the 110 00:04:32,790 --> 00:04:31,120 ground 111 00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:32,800 you know what it takes to be a trained 112 00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:33,840 observer 113 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:35,360 as well as culture 114 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:37,520 being very mission oriented objective 115 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:39,520 oriented how does that play into what 116 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,120 everything that you do 117 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:42,720 and and how does that play into the way 118 00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:44,560 in which you relate to one another when 119 00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:46,720 you're on mission or even off mission so 120 00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:48,240 excited to get into some of that stuff 121 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:50,320 so why don't we start off with um and 122 00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:51,680 chris maybe you can start us off with 123 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,639 this one um how do most uh folks who 124 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:56,479 become a pilot in the air force like how 125 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,160 how did they get started on that journey 126 00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:01,199 where does it usually begin for folks 127 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,639 i mean most of my friends i think they 128 00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:04,160 had a dream you know when they were 129 00:05:07,749 --> 00:05:06,080 growing up they just loved planes you 130 00:05:09,029 --> 00:05:07,759 know they went to air shows or their 131 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,039 parents were in the military or they 132 00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:11,120 just they liked flying 133 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:12,240 um 134 00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:13,919 and so they there's a couple different 135 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:15,360 ways to get there 136 00:05:18,950 --> 00:05:16,960 but in the air force at least u.s air 137 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:18,960 force you have to be an officer to to 138 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:21,759 fly right we do have enlisted um you 139 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,960 know drone operators et cetera but at 140 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,639 least when i was going through you had 141 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:28,080 to be an officer so you had to get your 142 00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:30,160 commission somehow uh there's different 143 00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:32,240 ways to do that so you can go i went to 144 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,000 air force academy which is 145 00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:35,840 um you know basically a thousand people 146 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:37,280 a year would graduate but you need more 147 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:38,560 than a thousand 148 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:40,479 officers so there's there's other ways 149 00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:44,240 as well so rotc scholarships uh and then 150 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:45,520 that you know that's 151 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:47,280 basically at your normal university but 152 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:49,600 then you have ots so any you know anyone 153 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,600 with a college degree can sign up to be 154 00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:53,360 a pilot you know i have a good friend 155 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:56,080 uh he actually had a photography degree 156 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,759 from new york and he signed you know he 157 00:06:00,150 --> 00:05:59,039 walked into a recruiter's office 158 00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,160 basically said i want to be a fighter 159 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:01,759 pilot and they're like that's impossible 160 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,240 you know and he's like no no no you know 161 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:06,400 they're like hey sign up here you know 162 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:07,520 you don't you don't want to be a pilot 163 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:08,639 you know you want to be a security 164 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:10,720 forces 165 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:13,360 and he said no uh and yeah it worked i 166 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:14,880 guess they needed pilots or i don't know 167 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:17,199 what happened um so then from there uh 168 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:19,600 you you know once you become a an 169 00:06:22,950 --> 00:06:21,199 officer which is kind of its own thing 170 00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:22,960 you need a degree you need some sort of 171 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:26,080 commissioning service then you can um 172 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,759 put your name in the hat essentially to 173 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,199 go to pilot training 174 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:31,039 and that's the air force academy 175 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:32,560 it gets at least when i was going 176 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:34,560 through again it got the first slot so 177 00:06:38,469 --> 00:06:36,000 you know those first 178 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,479 i think 700 people graduated with me at 179 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:40,160 in class 2000 180 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:41,600 uh if they wanted they could go to pilot 181 00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:42,800 training you know if they had like the 182 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:45,039 medical requirements made 183 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:48,240 um and and actually eyesight's not it's 184 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:50,000 not a huge one my roommate the whole 185 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:51,919 time he was like he always wanted to be 186 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,960 a pilot 187 00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:54,400 and he had but he had terrible eyesight 188 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:55,840 you know just thick glasses so he just 189 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:57,199 got it out of his brain that he could be 190 00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,680 a pilot and then when he when right when 191 00:07:02,469 --> 00:07:01,360 we went to went to graduate they changed 192 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,479 the rules they were like we need more 193 00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:04,080 pilots you know so then they lowered the 194 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:05,680 the requirement 195 00:07:08,870 --> 00:07:06,960 um 196 00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:08,880 but he didn't go actually that was a 197 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:10,639 mistake he made he recorded it later 198 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:11,680 except for color right if you're 199 00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:13,680 colorblind okay pretty much you know and 200 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:16,960 i think 25 if 25 of men are colorblind 201 00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:18,319 so that's probably the bigger one you 202 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:20,080 know most stories i've heard they were 203 00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:21,520 like you know people are like hey i was 204 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:23,520 gonna go for sure i had everything my 205 00:07:26,710 --> 00:07:25,520 name in the hat to be a pilot uh but i 206 00:07:27,909 --> 00:07:26,720 was colorblind you know and that's 207 00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:27,919 probably the biggest stopping thing i 208 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,520 think if you're colorblind 209 00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:30,800 you know there's not much how much you 210 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,400 can do 211 00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:34,240 well i i had color blindness but they 212 00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:36,800 did a test where you say red green amber 213 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:38,960 at a distance and if you could do that 214 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:40,800 you could be technically colorblind by 215 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:42,960 those books but still pass so that's how 216 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:45,280 i got into aviation was from that 217 00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:47,440 that i passed that i could tell red 218 00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:50,400 green and amber all day long so give us 219 00:07:53,909 --> 00:07:52,240 about terrible maintenance 220 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:53,919 terrible maintenance for for them to get 221 00:07:58,629 --> 00:07:56,879 rid of you to the engineer school huh 222 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,639 yeah it was rough man it was definitely 223 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,039 rough i'm sure they really missed me 224 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,680 oh that guy sucks anyway 225 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:05,039 well and so troy what what about your 226 00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:06,800 experience was it similar to chris's i 227 00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:08,479 know you didn't do the air force academy 228 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:10,160 in a different route so can you talk 229 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:12,319 about that chris chris lost me when he 230 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,599 said he wrote books no i mean 231 00:08:19,029 --> 00:08:17,919 every everything he said was was true i 232 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:19,039 think for 233 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,440 for for me uh you know i didn't go to 234 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,759 the academy but for whatever reason i 235 00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,199 just i uh 236 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,720 i felt like i wanted to be in the 237 00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,639 military and i wanted to be an engineer 238 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:30,879 i don't know why um so that was my 239 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:33,200 initial kind of motivation i got an rotc 240 00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:36,240 scholarship uh he is a nerd 241 00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:37,519 yeah 242 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:40,000 for engineering and then i think when i 243 00:08:45,269 --> 00:08:42,719 got around a group of people 244 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,590 i kind of i kind of drew some you know 245 00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:49,440 motivation maybe some courage to get 246 00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:51,279 outside the box a little bit and realize 247 00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:52,959 hey this is something i could do right 248 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:54,560 the air force flies planes why would you 249 00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:56,399 want to do anything else if you can do 250 00:08:59,430 --> 00:08:57,200 that 251 00:09:01,750 --> 00:08:59,440 um but but i think of the family i grew 252 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:01,760 up in not that they didn't support me i 253 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:04,320 think it was just hard to kind of dream 254 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:05,760 like that right nobody was an officer in 255 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:06,880 my family 256 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,560 nobody besides my sister graduated from 257 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,399 college um 258 00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:12,080 so i was around some like-minded people 259 00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:13,760 that was like hey you know here's kind 260 00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:14,880 of some of the goals you need to set 261 00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:17,120 over the next four or five years and 262 00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,320 yeah you might be able to be a pioneer 263 00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,480 for so i really changed gears there i 264 00:09:23,269 --> 00:09:22,399 still have an engineering degree i i did 265 00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:23,279 that 266 00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:25,120 but uh 267 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:27,200 but i would just say you know 268 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:29,040 you know being here at uh you know major 269 00:09:33,110 --> 00:09:31,519 airline now um you hear a lot of people 270 00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,120 say oh man i want to be in the air force 271 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,279 or the navy but but i could for whatever 272 00:09:39,269 --> 00:09:37,279 reason or they didn't i would just you 273 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,279 know if anybody's listening i would say 274 00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:41,600 don't join the military to be a pilot 275 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:43,120 make sure you join 276 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:45,200 to be a leader an officer or something 277 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,320 because you never know what could happen 278 00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:48,000 you could you could wash out you could 279 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:50,000 have a have an injury lots of things 280 00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:51,920 could happen to where hey you can't fly 281 00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,320 and are you still ready to serve for 282 00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:56,480 four to six ten years or whatever right 283 00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:57,600 so 284 00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:59,519 um if you just truly want to be a pilot 285 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:01,040 you don't want the other the other stuff 286 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:02,720 well there's other paths to becoming a 287 00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:04,640 pilot and maybe you should seriously 288 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:06,720 consider it i would just throw that out 289 00:10:08,949 --> 00:10:07,440 there 290 00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,959 yeah no that's great 291 00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:10,640 and dj anything you would add to this 292 00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:12,560 conversation kind of get getting started 293 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:15,440 on the aviation journey in the air force 294 00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:17,120 well mine was a little different because 295 00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,760 i was enlisted so there was only one 296 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:21,760 spot in the flight deck for an enlisted 297 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:24,000 aviator and when i saw that i was 298 00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:25,680 actually a fighter engine mechanic when 299 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:27,920 i started i was a f-15 engine mechanic 300 00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:29,839 and due to my mother's health with 301 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:31,920 cancer i had to get stationed the 302 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:33,839 closest pace i could get 303 00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,440 after homestead was leveled by a 304 00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:38,079 hurricane was they had c-130s and i saw 305 00:10:40,949 --> 00:10:39,680 enlisted guy go up in the flight deck 306 00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:40,959 and sit in that middle seat and i was 307 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,600 like well i want to do that so i said 308 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:45,600 you're a flyer and he said yeah i was 309 00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:47,120 like okay i didn't know there was such a 310 00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:49,360 thing as enlisted aviation so i said 311 00:10:53,430 --> 00:10:50,959 what's your job he said flight engineer 312 00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:53,440 so he told me about it and i applied and 313 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:55,200 i didn't get it right away so i went got 314 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,440 my pilot's license so there i am on the 315 00:11:02,150 --> 00:10:59,200 base i'm in the aero club i'm flying i'm 316 00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:02,160 loving it i'm just loving navigating and 317 00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:04,000 communicating and and landing the 318 00:11:07,030 --> 00:11:06,000 airplane is just awesome 319 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,040 and then 320 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,600 i applied for flight engineer they said 321 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:11,200 you need to make staff sergeant first so 322 00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:13,360 i made staff i applied again 323 00:11:18,389 --> 00:11:15,839 and then um basically i 324 00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:18,399 i think i had to go and turn in uh i 325 00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:20,399 needed a boost on my package because a 326 00:11:24,310 --> 00:11:22,480 lot of people their performance report 327 00:11:25,990 --> 00:11:24,320 was firewalled to 328 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:26,000 you know outstanding everything and i 329 00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:27,519 didn't have that which was common in 330 00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:29,440 maintenance you know not everybody's 331 00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:30,800 firewall particularly if you're not 332 00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:31,920 willing to 333 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:33,360 you know do that stuff 334 00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:35,920 so i went and met with a senior enlisted 335 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:37,920 aviator and i said look i got an 336 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:39,920 aircraft mechanic license i got a pilot 337 00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:42,240 license i love this stuff i'll do you 338 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:45,040 proud and the next duty day i got a call 339 00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:46,560 you got a slide in flight engineer 340 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:47,440 school 341 00:11:50,230 --> 00:11:48,800 and nice 342 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:50,240 went there and 343 00:11:55,670 --> 00:11:52,880 got that and did flu for two years of 344 00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:55,680 c-130s and then there was this thing 345 00:11:58,710 --> 00:11:57,680 about flying combat talent twos and 346 00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,720 that's how 347 00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:00,720 i got into a school when i showed up in 348 00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:04,160 july there was troy uh as my classmate 349 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:05,200 and then you'll kind of hear the 350 00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:07,279 difference how chris you know went to 351 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:10,800 upt and eventually got f-16s but then he 352 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,800 goes through as a single aviator whereas 353 00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:14,880 we go through as a crew 354 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,680 through school okay no that's great 355 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:19,120 excellent well i love the fact that you 356 00:12:22,550 --> 00:12:20,480 each kind of have a little different 357 00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:22,560 different of a journey in your flight 358 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:25,360 career uh did did it match up to your 359 00:12:29,190 --> 00:12:27,120 expectations so once you kind of started 360 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:29,200 getting into it uh and 361 00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,440 really getting your hands on uh into 362 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,959 flight did it really kind of line up 363 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:34,800 with what you thought it would be uh was 364 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:36,160 it better or worse than what you thought 365 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:37,120 it would be 366 00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:39,839 i don't know chris you want to take that 367 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:41,519 i i don't know i don't know what 368 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:46,629 i would say pilot training was extremely 369 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:49,279 hard i mean it's yeah it's 370 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:50,959 i went to navy training actually so a 371 00:12:56,389 --> 00:12:53,120 little different i didn't go to you know 372 00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,399 fly tweets did you fly tweets i did 373 00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:59,040 yeah yeah so that's the t-37 374 00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:00,959 they've they've replaced it you know i 375 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,320 never flew that that's your basic 376 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:05,200 trainer in the us air force or was 377 00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:07,120 now it's now it's the t6 378 00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,440 um but i actually went to navy training 379 00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:11,040 and so i didn't fly 380 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:12,800 uh with the air force but the air force 381 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:15,200 training is just like hardcore hazing i 382 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,560 mean you're getting yelled at standing 383 00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:18,880 in the center um 384 00:13:23,110 --> 00:13:20,560 i'm sure people are traumatized from it 385 00:13:24,949 --> 00:13:23,120 you know so what was your what was your 386 00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:24,959 experience troy i mean is that yeah i 387

got like 391 00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:34,160 40 hours while i was in college once i 392 00:13:37,910 --> 00:13:36,320 got the pilot slot they they started a 393 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,920 program where they wanted you to fly a 394 00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:39,839 little bit that wasn't any good i didn't 395 00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:42,079 know what i was doing i had low essay i 396 00:13:45,350 -->

challenging um 405 00:14:01,670 --> 00:13:59,680 i think having an engineering background 406 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:01,680 or a technical background 407 00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:03,120 college kind of taught me how to study 408 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:06,160 and how to just grind and for no other 409 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,920 reason they're not quitting right like 410 00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:09,360 you just memorize what you need to 411 00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:12,079 memorize and eventually your hands kind 412 00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:14,240 of catch up a little bit 413 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,199 right and uh it was it was a challenge 414 00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:19,519 then i would say though as i progressed 415 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:21,680 through a little bit and got to the mcu 416 00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:22,720 and 30 417 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:24,000 it it 418 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:26,160 the culture changed and we can get into 419 00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:27,600 that a little bit later but uh yeah that 420 00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:28,720 first year 421 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:32,160 uh it was very challenging i 422 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:33,839 you know i forget i think probably after 423 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:36,320 maybe like the contact phase of t-37s i 424 00:14:39,030 --> 00:14:38,079 realized like hey i think i could do 425 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:39,040 this 426 00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:40,399 right but it was 427 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:41,600 it was 428 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:43,760 studying hard sunday through thursday 429 00:14:47,269 --> 00:14:45,360 going out to the club with with the 430 00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:47,279 class on friday and let loose a little 431 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,720 bit right and then go right back to the 432 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,959 grind on saturday night or well 433 00:14:54,790 --> 00:14:52,720 definitely sunday morning right 434 00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:54,800 um and if you don't do that just like i 435 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:56,720 i notice in college you know you're not 436 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,800 you're not gonna make it but if you if 437 00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:00,240 you grind it out 438 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:02,480 you ask questions and you're proactive 439 00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,000 with with 440 00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:05,760 like you know hey i don't understand 441 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:07,600 this right i need help i think you can 442 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,880 do just about anything you want in your 443 00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:10,079 life so 444 00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:12,959 it's not impossible 445 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,399 make it right like there's thousands of 446 00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:16,000 thousands of air force pilots right i 447 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:17,199 mean right 448 00:15:20,870 --> 00:15:18,880 you can do it yeah they need pilots i 449 00:15:22,629 --> 00:15:20,880 mean they they want you to succeed you 450 00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:22,639 know they just don't want you to succeed 451 00:15:26,389 --> 00:15:24,880 and then crash into someone else you 452 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:26,399 know and then right and then 453 00:15:30,710 --> 00:15:28,399 you're you know that blood is on their 454 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:30,720 hands because they they didn't 455 00:15:34,629 --> 00:15:32,000 they didn't fail you when they should 456 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,639 have you know yeah right and clearly 457 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:36,160 they're good at churning out pilots so 458 00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:37,519 it i think there may be there's a 459 00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:39,600 misconception at least as a civilian 460 00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:41,199 maybe i had this misconception that some 461 00:15:44,389 --> 00:15:42,560 people are just naturally gifted and 462 00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:44,399 they you know and when they get into the 463 00:15:47,670 --> 00:15:46,399 the flight chair you know that they're 464 00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:47,680 going to pick it up right away and it's 465 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,680 going to be no no problem but how much 466 00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,040 of it is that 467 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,560 in the books kind of training and just 468 00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:55,120 kind of learning the systems and it just 469 00:15:58,949 --> 00:15:57,600 does the the physicality of it and the 470 00:16:01,430 --> 00:15:58,959 sort of new way in which you're 471 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:01,440 navigating the air as opposed to walking 472 00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:03,600 on two legs i mean how does that how 473 00:16:06,629 --> 00:16:04,959 does your perception kind of shift to 474 00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:06,639 where you it all kind of clicks into 475 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,189 it's got to be totally different right 476 00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:13,680 yeah go ahead what's your case 477 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:14,720 you know i think 478 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:17,199 i think maybe initially it's 70 80 479 00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:20,000 mental i i think because if you can't 480 00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:21,519 stand up and go through emergency 481 00:16:25,030 --> 00:16:22,800 procedures or have the right things 482 00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:25,040 memorized you're not gonna fly to start 483 00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:25,920 with 484 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,800 um 485 00:16:31,269 --> 00:16:28,959 there's a lot of you know we can get 486 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,279 into like uh how dj i grew up 487 00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:33,519 there's a lot of mission planning before 488 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:35,600 a flight in the mc130 and it's no 489 00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:36,959 different in the very first phase of 490 00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,880 pilot training like there's a lot of 491 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:40,399 prep there's a lot of chair flying i 492 00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:41,519 would say 493 00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:42,560 i don't know chris what do you think 494 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:44,240 like two one three to one like you fly 495 00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:45,519 like one hour sorority i mean you're 496 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:47,680 putting in hours and hours 497 00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:50,399 of trying to fly that profile and you 498 00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:53,199 know if you've got no air experience at 499 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,320 all i mean 500 00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:55,920 there's radio calls you have to make you 501 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,959 know you got to start the engines and 502 00:17:00,069 --> 00:16:58,320 taxi the damn thing to the end of the 503 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,079 runway right like you take these things 504 00:17:03,749 --> 00:17:01,759 for granted now but 505 00:17:05,189 --> 00:17:03,759 i mean just just that in itself right 506 00:17:06,949 --> 00:17:05,199 running through all the all the checks 507 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:06,959 before you even crank the engine is like 508 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:08,079 uh 509 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:10,000 the hardest thing to learn you know that 510 00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:11,439 that eventually just clicks that's 511 00:17:14,069 --> 00:17:12,480 automatic and then the next thing 512 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:14,079 becomes automatic but then what do they 513 00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:15,839 throw at you then probably like fighter 514 00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:17,760 fundamentals right or 515 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,520 or put a bomb down like there's just 516 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:21,280 always these graduate level things you 517 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:23,120 need to keep learning i remember i was 518 00:17:27,110 --> 00:17:25,280 in a c12 so i did the second half was in 519 00:17:29,590 --> 00:17:27,120 the navy program right we're doing like 520 00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:29,600 steep turns into c12 nothing that hard 521 00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:30,799 and me and my buddy are getting it we're 522 00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:32,080 feeling pretty good about ourselves 523 00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:32,960 right 524 00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:35,520 and uh the navy instructor he he kind of 525 00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:37,200 hits us on the shoulder he's like hey 526 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,720 look dude we haven't even given you a 527 00:17:41,430 --> 00:17:39,840 mission yet 528 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:41,440 you know just think about how think 529 00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:43,760 about how how easy flying is gonna get 530 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:46,000 at some point right because we're not 531 00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:48,000 teaching you to fly to go have fun right 532 00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:50,080 we're gonna ask you to do something with 533 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:52,080 this with this thing right they kind of 534 00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:53,280 click like 535 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:55,679 yeah man i can't wait for that 536 00:18:00,070 --> 00:17:57,200 but i but i gotta get these fundamentals 537 00:18:02,549 --> 00:18:00,080 down first right so 538 00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:02,559 you need both there's a minimum level of 539 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:04,240 of uh 540 00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:05,280 you know 541 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:06,799 hands i guess what you would call it 542 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:09,280 like physically controlling the plane 543 00:18:12,390 --> 00:18:10,880 you know you need a minimum you need to 544 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:12,400 be able to do these certain maneuvers 545 00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:13,520 you know you need to be able to safely 546 00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:15,039 land it you know you need to be able to 547 00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:17,360 safely uh fly in formation you need to 548 00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:18,720 be able to safely do these other 549 00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:19,840 maneuvers 550 00:18:23,590 --> 00:18:21,760 um that they're talking about to a 551 00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:23,600 minimum level right and then it gets 552 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:25,280 high so fighters if you're going to go 553 00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:26,960 the fighter track that needs to be much 554 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,280 higher than like he mentioned the the 555 00:18:34,870 --> 00:18:31,440 c12 or you know if it's a cargo plane or 556 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:34,880 a it you don't need it's much slower 557 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:35,679 uh 558 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,400 the the the margins for error are much 559 00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:39,360 higher 560 00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:41,120 so you don't need like the best hands 561 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:42,640 right um 562 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:44,320 but you need to know all the regulations 563 00:18:49,750 --> 00:18:46,640 all the procedures all the rules all the 564 00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,760 systems down pat you know uh i guess i'd 565 00:18:52,390 --> 00:18:51,360 relate it my buddy uh so i have a good 566 00:18:53,750 --> 00:18:52,400 friend or 567 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:53,760 anyway we went through pilot training 568 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:55,120 raja chari 569 00:18:58,789 --> 00:18:56,480 uh he's an astronaut now he's in the 570 00:19:00,390 --> 00:18:58,799 artemis program oh cool 571 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:00,400 yeah he's amazing he's the only guy i've 572 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:02,480 ever met through my whole career 573 00:19:06,070

576 00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:09,520 gonna be an astronaut and a great guy 577 00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:10,559 too you know 578 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,919 i think that's the worst part about 579 00:19:15,029 --> 00:19:13,280 that's the worst part about those guys 580 00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:15,039 right now i gotta be nice on top of that 581 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:16,240 right 582 00:19:19,510

00:26:37,440 been 815 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:40,000 at least 13 you know 12 hour days uh 816 00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:43,120 minimum so and then you you do it again 817 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:44,880 and that just continues right you know 818 00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:46,080 when i was at the academy you know 819 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:47,440 they're always like well when you get in 820 00:26:49,750 --> 00:26:48,480 the real air force you know it's going 821 00:26:51,909 --> 00:26:49,760 to change or whatever 822 00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:51,919 and it it did but it was like more 823 00:26:56,230 --> 00:26:53,679 hardcore you know it's like 824 00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:56,240 crunching in so it's it's just i would 825 00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:58,320 say it's just super pressurized you know 826 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:59,520 um 827 00:27:02,470 --> 00:27:00,880 at least in the fighter world man it's 828 00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:02,480 just like 829 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:04,720 it's just pressurized so everybody kind 830 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:07,840 of um you tend to align you're on the 831 00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:10,000 same team um 832 00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:11,440 you know if you imagine like whatever 833 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:13,360 your name name your favorite sports team 834 00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:15,120 it's like those guys you know they're 835 00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:17,679 that's all they eat and breathe that 836 00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:19,520 brand or whatever it is you know 837 00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:20,880 probably 838 00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:22,720 um so i would say for us yeah that you 839 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:24,320 really get specialized you know you 840 00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:26,000 notice really different traits and all 841 00:27:29,110 --> 00:27:27,120 the different 842 00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:29,120 uh you know the fighters and i would 843 00:27:32,389 --> 00:27:31,120 rarely interact with any of the cargo 844 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,399 guys ever 845 00:27:36,470 --> 00:27:34,559 you know we barely barely interact with 846 00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:36,480 them we're at different bases you know 847 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:38,000 doing different missions they're in a 848 00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:39,600 different they're they they have a 849 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:40,720 different whole 850 00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:42,080 cycle of where they're moving and 851 00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:43,360 everything so 852 00:27:46,950 --> 00:27:45,520 interesting um yeah i would say i'd say 853 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:46,960 the same mostly because you guys weren't 854 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:49,120 weren't awake at night right when it got 855 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:50,799 dark it just there was no flight time 856 00:27:57,669 --> 00:27:55,990 yeah yeah we flew at night so it was a 857 00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:57,679 different thing but what i was gonna say 858 00:28:03,990 --> 00:28:00,320 nathan didn't ask me this question but 859 00:28:06,549 --> 00:28:04,000 uh but coming from uh being uh a 860 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,559 maintenance troop which i was going off 861 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:08,960 to flight engineer school 862 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:11,120 i could just tell you start to finish it 863 00:28:14,070 --> 00:28:13,360 changes your entire life like 864 00:28:20,310 --> 00:28:14,080 you 865 00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:20,320 the way that i would speak with 866 00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:22,399 colleagues and maintenance is one thing 867 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:24,480 and then i get around officers like troy 868 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,960 you you change the way you speak uh 869 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:28,399 everything your whole life changes 870 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:31,760 you're now living in these books and i 871 00:28:37,269 --> 00:28:34,399 had to go through one school 872 00:28:38,789 --> 00:28:37,279 that was just for calculating takeoff 873 00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:38,799 and landing data 874 00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:40,640 of the airplane they want you to learn 875 00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:42,399 can you calculate that you could land 876 00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:44,559 the airplane anywhere under any 877 00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:46,640 conditions and then take off anywhere 878 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:48,960 and what all the data would be around 879 00:28:53,830 --> 00:28:51,840 cruise climb descend so that when the 880 00:28:56,149 --> 00:28:53,840 pilot turns back can we land on this 881 00:28:58,870 --> 00:28:56,159 dirt strip abc that we've just got a 882 00:29:00,950 --> 00:28:58,880 frag for yes we can or no we can't and 883 00:29:02,789 --> 00:29:00,960 you've got the data to back it up 884 00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:02,799 that school i almost rocked out of you 885 00:29:06,950 --> 00:29:04,399 know special ed's kid 886 00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:06,960 so you know it was very difficult i 887 00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:09,520 failed a test there and my instructor 888 00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:11,679 said i don't think this guy 889 00:29:15,669 --> 00:29:14,240 is cut out to be a flight engineer 890 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:15,679 and then i got a meeting with the 891 00:29:20,070 --> 00:29:17,840 commander so put my blues on i march in 892 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:20,080 there and i told him yes sir i have 893 00:29:23,350 --> 00:29:22,320 these credentials i know i can do this 894 00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:23,360 and he said you know what you're going 895 00:29:27,350 --> 00:29:25,039 to get a second chance so you're back in 896 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:27,360 training nice and then uh i got the most 897 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,440 complex fixed-wing airplane 898 00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:31,600 uh tactical airlifter in the air force 899 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:34,080 so i guess i proved him right that's 900 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:35,200 awesome 901 00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:36,080 well i mean but what a great 902 00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:37,760 illustration right like dj what you just 903 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:39,919 said is is this echoing what these guys 904 00:29:43,909 --> 00:29:41,360 have said and that's that you know 905 00:29:46,470 --> 00:29:43,919 putting in the work and and going after 906 00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:46,480 it is more important probably the most 907 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:48,320 important factor than just sort of 908 00:29:52,230 --> 00:29:50,640 natural ability and i think maybe a lot 909 00:29:54,070 --> 00:29:52,240 of folks have this conception that like 910 00:29:56,950 --> 00:29:54,080 i just need to be a certain type of 911 00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:56,960 person to begin with to do whatever it 912 00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:59,360 is but it really is putting in those 913 00:30:03,510 --> 00:30:01,600 steps one after the other to accomplish 914 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:03,520 that ultimate goal 915 00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:05,200 yeah and i went to flight school that 916 00:30:09,669 --> 00:30:07,360 was i needed to pass that school to go 917 00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:09,679 to flight school little rock where troy 918 00:30:12,789 --> 00:30:11,520 also would have been uh he was there a 919 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:12,799 little after me 920 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,600 um but uh i had no problems in the 921 00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:17,840 flying part i mean i went through there 922 00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:18,720 like 923 00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:19,919 you know i don't know that i was 924 00:30:23,909 --> 00:30:22,640 outstanding but i never i had no issues 925 00:30:26,070 --> 00:30:23,919 getting through flight school and then i 926 00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:26,080 was just flying at little rock probably 927 00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:28,320 when troy came through there so 928 00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:29,360 nice 929 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:32,720 hey can i say hi to rob rob 930 00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:34,480 how's it going rob we'll get a comment 931 00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:37,279 up there from rob yeah there we go 932 00:30:41,110 --> 00:30:39,440 good to see you 933 00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:41,120 um so 934 00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:42,640 it sounds like you go through so you go 935 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:43,760 through this general training then you 936 00:30:47,190 --> 00:30:44,960 start kind of splitting off into 937 00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:47,200 specialized training um and the 938 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:49,279 specialization it's not like you start 939 00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:51,600 from sort of ground zero like you you're 940 00:30:56,549 --> 00:30:53,440 building off of what you've already uh 941 00:30:58,789 --> 00:30:56,559 learned but you're adapting to sort of 942 00:31:02,389 --> 00:30:58,799 new approaches to flying or new skill 943 00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:02,399 sets with flying or you know kind of 944 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:04,240 there's the basics right and then 945 00:31:08,789 --> 00:31:05,760 there's the peripheral things that get 946 00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:08,799 stacked onto that basic foundation um 947 00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:10,320 when it comes to 948 00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:11,760 uh chris like your experience as a 949 00:31:16,549 --> 00:31:14,000 fighter pilot and troy with the with the 950 00:31:20,149 --> 00:31:16,559 130s and what and the special operations 951 00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:20,159 flying like how much additional um how 952 00:31:23,190 --> 00:31:21,440 many additional layers are kind of 953 00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:23,200 stacked onto that overall knowledge you 954 00:31:27,029 --> 00:31:25,039 know but by the time you become a 955 00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:27,039 trusted person that they can send out to 956 00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:29,200 do x y z 957 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:33,279 trust it trusted yeah i guess officially 958 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:35,279 would be when you're a 959 00:31:40,549 --> 00:31:38,880 uh mission qualified wingman right so 960 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:40,559 you get out into the 961 00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:42,240 into the air force so like we mentioned 962 00:31:46,549 --> 00:31:44,240 about two years for training so i went 963 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:46,559 to navy training for for six months for 964 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,880 the t-34 that's like your basic 965 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:50,320 you know it's just a single propeller 966 00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:51,200 plane 967 00:31:54,950 --> 00:31:52,559 you know here's how you land here's how 968 00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:54,960 you take off some basic formation 969 00:31:59,830 --> 00:31:56,960 uh and then that's where we split troy 970 00:32:02,470 --> 00:31:59,840 went to he went the the cargo route uh 971 00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:02,480 which is the c-20 what is it what was it 972 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:06,080 t-44 t-44s and c-12 973 00:32:10,070 --> 00:32:08,320 okay yeah so well he they were learning 974 00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:10,080 that as a crew aircraft right so they're 975 00:32:14,549 --> 00:32:12,480 learning co-pilot pilot uh 976 00:32:16,549 --> 00:32:14,559 different it's different um procedures 977 00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:16,559 and everything bigger plane right so 978 00:32:20,070 --> 00:32:17,840 it's 979 00:32:21,990 --> 00:32:20,080 many ways more difficult to land so then 980 00:32:24,389 --> 00:32:22,000 i went t38s like you mentioned and 981 00:32:26,470 --> 00:32:24,399 that's that plane model i keep using uh 982 00:32:29,669 --> 00:32:26,480 i'll just grab it right over here uh in 983 00:32:31,269 --> 00:32:29,679 a second sorry of course right 984 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:31,279 yeah yeah yeah 985 00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:32,880 i got it right here i can't believe i 986 00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:34,000 headed over there i'm gonna fight our 987 00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:35,679 guys for that this bank's on screen 988 00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:36,880 there it is yep 989 00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:38,720 this is my best this is my only trophy 990 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,480 actually i keep actually i think that's 991 00:32:44,470 --> 00:32:42,320 when i beat because i beat raja that's 992 00:32:45,909 --> 00:32:44,480 why because he's like 993 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:45,919 because he's an astronaut i'm like 994 00:32:49,590 --> 00:32:48,320 bragging rights yep yeah he won ever he 995 00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:49,600 was dg 996 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:52,080 distinguished graduate of everything mit 997 00:32:55,509 --> 00:32:53,360 but he didn't win this award he didn't 998 00:32:58,710 --> 00:32:55,519 win 999 00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,720 but that's so t-38 and then uh it's it's 1000 00:33:02,470 --> 00:33:00,720 single seat right the guy you know in 1001 00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:02,480 the front and then there's like 1002 00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:04,240 this guy in the back just breathing on 1003 00:33:09,269 --> 00:33:06,559 you you know you just hear him breathing 1004 00:33:11,509 --> 00:33:09,279 smells bad 1005 00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:11,519 and then from there based on your 1006 00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:13,279 what you you know how well you do your 1007 00:33:17,190 --> 00:33:14,960 rank and then like troy was saying hey 1008 00:33:18,870 --> 00:33:17,200 do you know do you want f-16s 1009 00:33:20,389 --> 00:33:18,880 how many spots they have they match you 1010 00:33:23,110 --> 00:33:20,399 to a spot and then 1011 00:33:24,789 --> 00:33:23,120 um so from there it's probably another 1012 00:33:26,310 --> 00:33:24,799 then you have to you just know how to 1013 00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:26,320 basically fly but you don't know you 1014 00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:27,760 don't know how to fight 1015 00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:30,480 yeah uh and and and 1016 00:33:33,029 --> 00:33:32,000 so that's what fighters have to learn if 1017 00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:33,039 you got the fighter route you have to 1018 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:35,200 learn how to actually fight 1019 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:36,799 and then troy he has to learn for how to 1020 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:38,480 do like tactical infills and do all 1021 00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:41,519 these crazy you know night uh low-level 1022 00:33:44,950 --> 00:33:43,279 flights or whatever crazy stuff they do 1023 00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:44,960 i don't even know about so 1024 00:33:50,149 --> 00:33:47,120 totally different mission sets 1025 00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:50,159 but you you know safe i guess 1026 00:33:53,509 --> 00:33:51,760 i guess 1027 00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:53,519 you know uh 1028 00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:55,120 and then it gets to you know a fully 1029 00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:56,960 qualified instructor i think is your is 1030 00:34:02,070 --> 00:33:58,960 your best you know your weapon school 1031 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:02,080 graduate is your absolute top of the top 1032 00:34:05,430 --> 00:34:03,200 you know they're you're gonna be your 1033 00:34:07,029 --> 00:34:05,440 most um competent most proficient they 1034 00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:07,039 have the most hours 1035 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:09,040 um but there's very few of them and then 1036 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:11,040 it goes to your instructors but that's 1037 00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:13,200 you know five ten years down the road 1038 00:34:15,510 --> 00:34:14,639 wow okay 1039 00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:15,520 sorry 1040 00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:17,520 got it too long 1041 00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:20,079 yeah i know i i tell you what like i 1042 00:34:23,349 --> 00:34:21,440 think about all the all the different 1043 00:34:24,790 --> 00:34:23,359 stages right and you know you start to 1044 00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:24,800 feel pretty good you get your wings and 1045 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:26,720 then you go to little rock and you know 1046 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:29,119 nothing about a c-130 at all right and 1047 00:34:33,589 --> 00:34:30,079 you're 1048 00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:33,599 again you get through that 1049 00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:36,240 and i go to mcu and 30h school in 1050 00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:37,359 kirtland 1051 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:39,919 and you know you're excited and you know 1052 00:34:43,030 --> 00:34:41,679 nothing about that mission nothing about 1053 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:43,040 that airplane 1054 00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:44,320 and you know you got to remember too 1055 00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:46,480 this immunity is uh 1056 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:49,200 they rarely take new co-pilots out of 1057 00:34:53,109 --> 00:34:51,119 pilot training right it's usually 1058 00:34:55,990 --> 00:34:53,119 it's usually a pilot that has been in 1059 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:56,000 the regular c-130 community for 1060 00:34:58,550 --> 00:34:57,119 three four or five years they're 1061 00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:58,560 aircraft commanders at that point not 1062 00:35:03,910 --> 00:35:01,040 co-pilots okay so once a while you get a 1063 00:35:06,710 --> 00:35:03,920 young load master a young navigator or a 1064 00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:06,720 young co-pilot right so i have to be one 1065 00:35:11,270 --> 00:35:09,040 of those um 1066 00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:11,280 and what was fun about what was 1067 00:35:15,589 --> 00:35:13,040 different like the shift that occurred 1068 00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:15,599 there was these guys 1069 00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:17,839 wanted you to succeed and they wanted to 1070 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:20,640 teach you about the talon tradition 1071 00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:22,800 which started in north vietnam flying 1072 00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:24,400 missions 1073 00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:26,960 and it started in desert 1 in iran in 1074 00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:29,680 1980 landing in the desert there and 1075 00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:31,520 actually some of our instructors were on 1076 00:35:35,589 --> 00:35:33,760 that mission the atlanta and iran so 1077 00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:35,599 when i got there and i 1078 00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:37,200 started realized who i was around and 1079 00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:39,520 the people i'd be working with man i was 1080 00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:40,880 i was in heaven because like this is 1081 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:42,160 where i want to be 1082 00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:43,680 um i know i just need to figure out how 1083 00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:45,440 to fly this this plane 1084 00:35:48,950 --> 00:35:47,200 uh but there's so many 1085 00:35:49,990 --> 00:35:48,960 so many requirements right dj that we 1086 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:50,000 did that 1087 00:35:53,589 --> 00:35:52,240 um when do you feel good about it i i 1088 00:35:55,670 --> 00:35:53,599 don't know i'll tell you up to the day i 1089 00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,680 retired 1090 00:36:00,550 --> 00:35:57,599 i mean honestly like i spent i did a 1091

my game a little 1111 00:36:39,109 --> 00:36:37,920 bit more than normal so 1112 00:36:41,109 --> 00:36:39,119 that's what i loved about the blaine in 1113 00:36:41,910 --> 00:36:41,119 the mission set was 1114 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,920 you know you don't know if you're gonna 1115 00:36:46,069 --> 00:36:43,440 land on a grass strip you don't know if 1116 00:36:47,589 --> 00:36:46,079 you're gonna land uh on a taxiway you 1117 00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:47,599 know tomorrow the mission might call for 1118 00:36:52,550 --> 00:36:50,480 that and there's nothing better 1119 00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:52,560 than running out your plane not be able 1120 00:36:55,829 --> 00:36:54,320 to do some of your normal duties but 1121 00:36:57,750 --> 00:36:55,839 just getting the c crank engines and the 1122 00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:57,760 load master looks at you and he says hey 1123 00:37:02,230 --> 00:37:00,400 we're good back here don't even worry 1124 00:37:03,589 --> 00:37:02,240 you look at dj

is and you crank and you 1128 00:37:11,990 --> 00:37:09,760 go and you look at your watch you're 1129 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:12,000 like holy crap man that was fast we got 1130 00:37:15,990 --> 00:37:14,160 off fast didn't we oh yeah we did 1131 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:16,000 and you're going and you just look at 1132 00:37:20,069 --> 00:37:17,760 your buds and you're like 1133 00:37:21,910 --> 00:37:20,079 man if we weren't all good at what we do 1134 00:37:23,829 --> 00:37:21,920 and had the utmost faith and everybody 1135 00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:23,839 else are doing their job and not need to 1136 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:25,920 get be backed up all the time we 1137 00:37:28,870 --> 00:37:27,440 wouldn't be as quick as we would be we 1138 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:28,880 wouldn't be as dynamic as we would be 1139 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:30,960 and we would solve problems because some 1140 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:32,560 of these users man they want you to haul 1141 00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:35,040 some crazy stuff some heavy stuff 1142 00:37:38,390 --> 00:37:36,960 um or 1143 00:37:40,069 --> 00:37:38,400 maybe something that the regulations 1144 00:37:41,109 --> 00:37:40,079 really they don't say you can't do it 1145 00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:41,119 per se 1146 00:37:43,990 --> 00:37:42,880 but our masters are engineers man 1147 00:37:45,670 --> 00:37:44,000 they'll figure out how to put that on 1148 00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:45,680 there i mean i remember we had in the 1149 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:47,440 back of the plane one time 1150 00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:48,480 we had 1151 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:52,240 much crap back there 1152 00:37:55,510 --> 00:37:53,440 we're going down to columbia because we 1153 00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:55,520 had hostages down there and i just i was 1154 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:57,520 looking around as a co-pilot just like 1155 00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,240 this is awesome man this is awesome 1156 00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:02,240 you know yeah i originally wanted to fly 1157 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:04,960 c130s actually uh 1158 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,560 and then i had this simulator instructor 1159 00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:08,480 he was an old marine like he said and he 1160 00:38:11,109 --> 00:38:09,520 was like 1161 00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:11,119 why the hell you want to fly those slow 1162 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:13,520 ass planes you know like it's like you 1163 00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:15,359 want to fly fast and blow [\h__\h] up and i 1164 00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:18,720 was like yeah four miles a minute 1165 00:38:22,870 --> 00:38:20,800 yeah i tell you what though my first dj 1166 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:22,880 you were on this flight with me dj 1167 00:38:25,829 --> 00:38:23,680 uh 1168 00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:25,839 so at kirtland right mc-130s we get 1169 00:38:29,030 --> 00:38:27,040 through the instrument qual phase right 1170 00:38:31,270 --> 00:38:29,040 so that's basically hey can i fly an 1171 00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:31,280 airplane in israel weather and that's 1172 00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:33,599 probably right the basic building block 1173 00:38:36,870 --> 00:38:35,200 you need and then you get into the 1174 00:38:39,750 --> 00:38:36,880 tactical stuff 1175 00:38:42,870 --> 00:38:39,760 and uh i'm a new co-pilot i barely have 1176 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:42,880 any hours in the c-130 and that night we 1177 00:38:46,870 --> 00:38:44,160 were 1178 00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:46,880 in weather train following at 250 feet i 1179 00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:50,000 got a ridgeline off my right wing about 1180 00:38:56,950 --> 00:38:55,030 and you're just you're just entering 1181 00:38:59,829 --> 00:38:56,960 into this ridge line and then later on 1182 00:39:01,109 --> 00:38:59,839 in the sortie we threat pin at 100 feet 1183 00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:01,119 right 1184 00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:02,560 over that spot i'm just sitting there 1185 00:39:06,790 --> 00:39:04,480 actually flying it because in this plane 1186 00:39:08,069 --> 00:39:06,800 the co-pilot flew as much as a pilot and 1187 00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:08,079 i'm like i can't believe they let me do 1188 00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:09,760 this like i have no idea what i'm doing 1189 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:12,560 like on anybody i know what a viewer 1190 00:39:18,870 --> 00:39:16,160 you're using mvgs or you have a radar 1191 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:18,880 so for the threat pen it's all visual 1192 00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:21,280 you've got an ids you got that the fleer 1193 00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:22,560 that helps you 1194 00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:25,040 you do have a forward-looking ir yeah 1195 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:27,280 yeah but it's it's mostly mostly visual 1196 00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:28,720 unless it's just so damn dark you can't 1197 00:39:31,990 --> 00:39:30,320 see a horizon you shouldn't be doing it 1198 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:32,000 anyways but when you do that ids gives 1199 00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:34,320 you a nice picture right so 1200 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:35,760 but you're flying using night vision 1201 00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:37,280 goggles you know so 1202 00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:39,599 you flew on that a lot mvgs 1203 00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:40,560 yeah 1204 00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:44,480 test i did anyways even if i zoom 1205 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:46,160 instrument approach someplace i had my 1206 00:39:50,710 --> 00:39:48,160 mvgs on my head because 1207 00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:50,720 hey whatever gave me the better picture 1208 00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:52,960 you know hell with the rules whatever 1209 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:54,640 gave me the best picture is what i would 1210 00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:57,040 use did you guys have a heads-up display 1211 00:40:01,270 --> 00:39:58,880 did you ever get one of those no the j 1212 00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:01,280 the mc-130j does 1213 00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:03,440 yeah it's got some nice toys and a heck 1214 00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:05,200 of a lot more power 1215 00:40:09,589 --> 00:40:07,200 but the [\h__\h] the fun part though is 1216 00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:09,599 really being on the radar that was when 1217 00:40:13,109 --> 00:40:11,680 so chris would be unfamiliar but there's 1218 00:40:15,349 --> 00:40:13,119 five people in the flight deck so 1219 00:40:17,270 --> 00:40:15,359 there's electronic warfare officer 1220 00:40:20,150 --> 00:40:17,280 sitting on the bulkhead to the rear 1221 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:20,160 there's a navigator to his or her left 1222 00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:22,400 and they're both navigators by trade but 1223 00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:24,560 one gets all the ewo beep and squeak 1224 00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:26,319 training that you're familiar with from 1225 00:40:30,069 --> 00:40:28,160 your training as well and then you have 1226 00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:30,079 the flight engineer sitting knee to 1227 00:40:35,109 --> 00:40:32,240 elbow with these two guys but when we're 1228 00:40:36,630 --> 00:40:35,119 doing imc on the radar there's nothing 1229 00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:36,640 that did it for me 1230 00:40:40,390 --> 00:40:38,880 more than being imc 1231 00:40:42,550 --> 00:40:40,400 nvgs are no good because all you're 1232 00:40:45,190 --> 00:40:42,560 going to see is is green fuzzy clouds 1233 00:40:49,190 --> 00:40:45,200 that's in the clouds yeah imc means uh 1234 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:50,790 you can't see anything out the 1235 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:52,800 windscreen except white 1236 00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:55,920 and you're down at 250a and you're 1237 00:40:59,829 --> 00:40:57,359 looking at two different radar 1238 00:41:02,069 --> 00:40:59,839 presentations so one of them is going to 1239 00:41:04,470 --> 00:41:02,079 paint the terrain one way and you'll 1240 00:41:06,470 --> 00:41:04,480 know i'm clear if my little aircraft in 1241 00:41:08,790 --> 00:41:06,480 the middle of that screen is here i'm 1242 00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:08,800 good and then the opposite screen your 1243 00:41:11,990 --> 00:41:10,640 either your ground map or your pencil 1244 00:41:14,309 --> 00:41:12,000 ground map will show it like the 1245 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:14,319 opposite way and at first it sounds 1246 00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:16,400 counterintuitive but it's not and then 1247 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:17,920 you're like okay i can look on two 1248 00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:20,400 different radars and see that i'm clear 1249 00:41:24,309 --> 00:41:21,920 so the reason the whole thing with the 1250 00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:24,319 five person flight deck is troy was 1251 00:41:28,470 --> 00:41:26,240 trained in flight engineer stuff he 1252 00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:28,480 didn't have to rely a hundred percent on 1253 00:41:33,829 --> 00:41:30,480 me because he knew a lot of what my job 1254 00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:33,839 was i knew some of what his job was the 1255 00:41:37,589 --> 00:41:35,920 navigator we both got trained in what 1256 00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:37,599 the navigator's doing we also got 1257 00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,680 training with ewo was doing so when 1258 00:41:43,349 --> 00:41:41,440 they're talking to the pilot i 1259 00:41:46,829 --> 00:41:43,359 understand all that conversation that's 1260 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:46,839 going on otherwise you'd be like 1261 00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:48,880 yeah lost passenger right now no i'm 1262 00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:51,760 just passenger so you'd be evaluating 1263 00:41:56,309 --> 00:41:54,240 everything that nav is saying to him i'm 1264 00:41:59,829 --> 00:41:56,319 and i was particularly adept at that at 1265 00:42:02,230 --> 00:41:59,839 the nav portion at low level nvg and 1266 00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:02,240 imctf those are my favorite things in 1267 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:03,839 all the talent world 1268 00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:06,079 um so i was very intently listening on 1269 00:42:10,470 --> 00:42:08,400 what they were saying just in case he 1270 00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:10,480 comes back and says 1271 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:12,319 he he he didn't quite understand what 1272 00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:15,040 the nav said so i might clarify 1273 00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:17,520 and say nav you said x right yeah okay 1274 00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,400 roger 1275 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:21,119 and then it's it's deadly silent 1276 00:42:24,870 --> 00:42:22,960 until the next turn point and then we go 1277 00:42:26,150 --> 00:42:24,880 through that process again yeah right dj 1278 00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:26,160 that's a really good explanation right 1279 00:42:29,510 --> 00:42:27,760 then our whole purpose in life right is 1280 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:29,520 to get the load masters 1281 00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:31,200 at the right spot right 1282 00:42:35,510 --> 00:42:33,440 yes the load master is back there with 1283 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:35,520 the seals or the sm right 1284 00:42:39,109 --> 00:42:37,040 yeah and uh you know you're giving them 1285 00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:39,119 time warnings so the guys can you know 1286 00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:41,280 load up start engines start to take 1287 00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:43,920 straps off so we can land or air drop 1288 00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:45,920 and then get out of there 1289 00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:47,280 and let them do their business right the 1290 00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:48,480 whole you know 1291 00:42:52,790 --> 00:42:50,640 it's so much fun that that whole crew 1292 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,800 fly in but the end of the day it's like 1293 00:42:56,390 --> 00:42:54,480 and if these masters 1294 00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:56,400 if we don't put them exactly where they 1295 00:42:59,349 --> 00:42:57,760 need to be like what the hell was the 1296 00:43:00,230 --> 00:42:59,359 whole point of doing five hours a low 1297 00:43:02,390 --> 00:43:00,240 level 1298 00:43:04,790 --> 00:43:02,400 you know in enemy territory 1299 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:04,800 on a piece of sandy blacktop 1300 00:43:09,270 --> 00:43:07,040 in the middle of iraq five four three 1301 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:09,280 two one cleared off load yeah you gotta 1302 00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:10,079 man 1303 00:43:14,069 --> 00:43:12,000 you're stopped on the runway the ramp is 1304 00:43:15,829 --> 00:43:14,079 about two inches above the deck throw 1305 00:43:17,829 --> 00:43:15,839 the ramp down they go driving off and 1306 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:17,839 whatever the hell kind of four-wheel or 1307 00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:20,160 two-wheel vehicle and then clear the 1308 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:22,800 taxi and it's bruh 1309 00:43:25,270 --> 00:43:24,000 and you're gone 1310 00:43:27,589 --> 00:43:25,280 yeah and 1311 00:43:30,069 --> 00:43:27,599 all the work it took hours and hours of 1312 00:43:32,230 --> 00:43:30,079 prep than the night before if you wanted 1313 00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:32,240 to do it well right to end and to reduce 1314 00:43:37,510 --> 00:43:35,040 the risk and to reduce the risk 1315 00:43:39,990 --> 00:43:37,520 to us was a lot of prep and you figuring 1316 00:43:42,950 --> 00:43:40,000 out all the all the landing data in case 1317 00:43:44,470 --> 00:43:42,960 we had to abort an infill or we picked 1318 00:43:46,150 --> 00:43:44,480 up stuff there that was heavier than we 1319 00:43:47,910 --> 00:43:46,160 thought because we got to know if we 1320 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:47,920 could land and take off and sometimes 1321 00:43:51,670 --> 00:43:49,920 you gotta you gotta know hey i can't 1322 00:43:52,470 --> 00:43:51,680 accept this from you it's too heavy 1323 00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:52,480 right 1324 00:43:56,069 --> 00:43:53,599 or we're all going to hit that ridge 1325 00:43:57,670 --> 00:43:56,079 line together congratulations right 1326 00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:57,680 and then uh you know sometimes you get 1327 00:44:00,230 --> 00:43:59,119 woke up and you've got no time to 1328 00:44:02,309 --> 00:44:00,240 prepare 1329 00:44:04,710 --> 00:44:02,319 but because you do it all the time you 1330 00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:04,720 can play a pickup game sometimes and 1331 00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:06,160 and and hopefully 1332 00:44:10,150 --> 00:44:08,800 fight safe right so took a lot of 1333 00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:10,160 training a lot of planning and that's 1334 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,200 what i loved about that's why i never 1335 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:13,440 left the air force early to fly 1336 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,880 for the airlines or do anything else 1337 00:44:18,790 --> 00:44:17,040 because i was like i'm not a c5 guy 1338 00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:18,800 nothing nothing against c5 guys but i do 1339 00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:21,599 that now in the airbus right like it's 1340 00:44:24,309 --> 00:44:23,440 it's great but right now it's a paycheck 1341 00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:24,319 man 1342 00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:26,640 before then in the air force it was it 1343 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:28,960 was a lifestyle and a culture and a 1344 00:44:32,309 --> 00:44:30,800 brotherhood that is just 1345 00:44:33,510 --> 00:44:32,319 it was unbelievable 1346 00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:33,520 for me 1347 00:44:38,309 --> 00:44:35,920 yeah no i i love hearing all of y'all's 1348 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:38,319 stories uh that the depth of technical 1349 00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:41,280 experience that you've explained um for 1350 00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:43,760 me at least is brand new territory you 1351 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:45,200 know so all of it 1352 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:46,800 when i come at this is kind of just 1353 00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:48,240 purely from oh that's cool they're 1354 00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:50,000 pilots and you know they can fly 1355 00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:51,119 airplanes 1356 00:44:55,030 --> 00:44:53,200 it really ends after that you know so 1357 00:44:57,349 --> 00:44:55,040 but to understand the layers of 1358 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:57,359 complexity uh and and training and 1359 00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:58,720 learning that you go through to get to 1360 00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:00,400 that point where it looks effortless as 1361 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:02,240 you said troy is is amazing i want to 1362 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:04,560 pivot real quickly to uh talking a 1363 00:45:07,589 --> 00:45:05,760 little bit about 1364 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:07,599 uh when you're up in the air and you're 1365 00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:09,440 you're kind of navigating through that 1366 00:45:12,069 --> 00:45:10,800 that that environment you know so 1367 00:45:13,190 --> 00:45:12,079 different than being on land whether 1368 00:45:14,710 --> 00:45:13,200 you're walking or driving or whatever 1369 00:45:15,589 --> 00:45:14,720 unless you're familiar with 1370 00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,599 you know 1371 00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:17,280 how do you kind of come to train 1372 00:45:20,630 --> 00:45:18,880 yourself to understand what it is that 1373 00:45:23,349 --> 00:45:20,640 you're looking at so you're not only 1374 00:45:25,349 --> 00:45:23,359 looking at uh you know sort of i guess 1375 00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:25,359 weather which is in the air and a lot of 1376 00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:27,280 that but you're also looking at other 1377 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:29,599 objects you're looking at other planes 1378 00:45:33,190 --> 00:45:31,599 uh that are there of different shapes 1379 00:45:34,870 --> 00:45:33,200 and sizes and sometimes you're looking 1380 00:45:36,230 --> 00:45:34,880 at i guess uh 1381 00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:36,240 you know missiles or wet weapons or 1382 00:45:40,630 --> 00:45:39,359 whatnot so how do you um 1383 00:45:41,910 --> 00:45:40,640 and maybe that's a good question for you 1384 00:45:44,390 --> 00:45:41,920 to start off with chris like how do you 1385 00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:44,400 get to learn and understand 1386 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:46,000 and differentiate you know what it is 1387 00:45:51,430 --> 00:45:48,240 that you're seeing in the sky uh after 1388 00:45:53,030 --> 00:45:51,440 you've gone through all this training 1389 00:45:55,510 --> 00:45:53,040 i guess probably the biggest thing is 1390 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:55,520 we're always talking about um 1391 00:45:59,670 --> 00:45:57,359 sight pictures 1392 00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,680 i think it's um what i've seen is it 1393 00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:01,680 like training any other neural network 1394 00:46:04,630 --> 00:46:03,359 is basically 1395 00:46:06,309 --> 00:46:04,640 what we're doing you know you do it 1396 00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:06,319 through simulators you do it through 1397 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:08,480 chair flying you know that's a huge 1398 00:46:12,710 --> 00:46:11,040 before we had amazing simulators that's 1399 00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:12,720 all we had right was chair flying and we 1400 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:14,240 still do it like troy mentioned a couple 1401 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,280 times like 1402 00:46:19,589 --> 00:46:17,280 um and just to finish your la your last 1403 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:19,599 question there is i guess i i never felt 1404 00:46:22,470 --> 00:46:21,119 comfortable the same thing choice said 1405 00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:22,480 you know when you feel comfortable and i 1406 00:46:25,990 --> 00:46:24,640 was like never you know that'd be your 1407 00:46:28,950 --> 00:46:26,000 life flying 1408 00:46:31,190 --> 00:46:28,960 yeah i was i mean every mission is uh 1409 00:46:32,630 --> 00:46:31,200 yeah i'm studying you know i'm looking 1410 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:32,640 in the books you know i'm thinking about 1411 00:46:35,990 --> 00:46:34,880 the night before um 1412 00:46:37,829 --> 00:46:36,000 you know you're not you're kind of 1413 00:46:39,270 --> 00:46:37,839 sweating on every i i was at least i 1414 00:46:41,109 --> 00:46:39,280 don't know different 1415 00:46:43,829 --> 00:46:41,119 different environment um but yeah 1416 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:43,839 there's there's just uh i never felt 1417 00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:45,200 fully comfortable 1418 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:48,000 um even even at the end um 1419 00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:49,920 so yeah so so anyway um you're always 1420 00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:51,920 studying and it's it's about site 1421 00:46:55,589 --> 00:46:53,920 pictures right so and and because it's 1422 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,599 so different all the 1423 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:57,599 the the ranges that we're talking about 1424 00:47:00,950 --> 00:46:59,119 are so much further than you're used to 1425 00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:00,960 on the ground just as humans 1426 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,960 and really people do not look up you 1427 00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:04,560 know i know everybody's like i look up 1428 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:06,880 and i'm like no like i don't look up you 1429 00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:08,560 know most people don't look up uh it's 1430 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:10,240 just not it's not in our nature you know 1431 00:47:14,150 --> 00:47:12,240 we're just sure you know most all of our 1432 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:14,160 threats up until recently we're pretty 1433 00:47:17,510 --> 00:47:15,760 much around here you know maybe from a 1434 00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:17,520 hill or something 1435 00:47:21,190 --> 00:47:19,680 so it's all training site pictures um 1436 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:21,200 that's that's probably your biggest one 1437 00:47:24,870 --> 00:47:23,680 and the best way to do it is real 1438 00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:24,880 right so 1439 00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:26,880 even even on later missions when we're 1440 00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:28,480 going out to if i haven't flown in a 1441 00:47:32,950 --> 00:47:31,359 while um you know i'll re-cage my eyes 1442 00:47:34,230 --> 00:47:32,960 so every day of the environment they'll 1443 00:47:36,630 --> 00:47:34,240 be a little bit different you know so 1444 00:47:38,950 --> 00:47:36,640 like this this will be like you know 1445 00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,960 that'll be like 500 feet one day you 1446 00:47:42,549 --> 00:47:40,400 know but then the next day for some 1447 00:47:44,790 --> 00:47:42,559 reason it's like here 1448 00:47:46,630 --> 00:47:44,800 um so you're just constantly worrying 1449 00:47:47,829 --> 00:47:46,640 about it trying to cage your eyeballs 1450 00:47:49,589 --> 00:47:47,839 okay that's 1451 00:47:51,510 --> 00:47:49,599 you know we're always shooting airliners 1452 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:51,520 you know simulated as the airliner's 1453 00:47:55,829 --> 00:47:54,160 going by i'll lock them up 1454 00:47:58,710 --> 00:47:55,839 geez 1455 00:48:01,430 --> 00:47:58,720 said that one more time yeah 1456 00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,440 for fun you know i mean uh of course 1457 00:48:05,109 --> 00:48:03,280 yeah with no weapons you know every time 1458 00:48:08,630 --> 00:48:05,119 you just have five minutes 1459 00:48:10,309 --> 00:48:08,640 yeah there's it's never like i guess um 1460 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:10,319 you see in top gun you know or where 1461 00:48:13,109 --> 00:48:11,440 they're just like all right man i'm 1462 00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:13,119 gonna be super tough and just win this 1463 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:14,720 you know it's uh 1464 00:48:19,109 --> 00:48:16,000 it's it's like 1465 00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:19,119 hours and months of just studying before 1466 00:48:23,270 --> 00:48:21,520 uh and and then being in the right spot 1467 00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:23,280 to not [\h__\h] it up you know basically i 1468 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,319 guess that's 1469 00:48:27,190 --> 00:48:26,400 um that's how i put it so 1470 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:27,200 yeah 1471 00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:29,280 sight pictures the best is uh visually 1472 00:48:33,109 --> 00:48:31,280 doing it for real when we can't do that 1473 00:48:34,790 --> 00:48:33,119 then we do it in a simulator 1474 00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:34,800 right so you try and do that we we had a 1475 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:36,640 program where we were actually 1476 00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:38,240 recording flights and then playing them 1477 00:48:41,190 --> 00:48:39,839 back in a simulator for guys that was 1478 00:48:42,950 --> 00:48:41,200 one way to teach 1479 00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:42,960 uh these site pictures and then finally 1480 00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:44,160 it's just chair flying you know you just 1481 00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:46,160 imagine like what what would it look 1482 00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:48,640 like what's the pacing um so i guess 1483 00:48:51,750 --> 00:48:51,040 that's a long roundabout answer normally 1484 00:48:53,670 --> 00:48:51,760 no 1485 00:48:55,589 --> 00:48:53,680 answer that's great 1486 00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:55,599 no thank you troy what about from your 1487 00:48:58,630 --> 00:48:57,760 perspective on that yeah 1488 00:49:00,309 --> 00:48:58,640 you know 1489 00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:00,319 i can't imagine of flying at those 1490 00:49:04,230 --> 00:49:01,920 speeds those altitudes i guess i kind of 1491 00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:04,240 do now but i've got no threats i've got 1492 00:49:09,190 --> 00:49:06,400 no mission other than the ils approach 1493 00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:09,200 to indianapolis and then my sandwich 1494 00:49:13,109 --> 00:49:10,640 right but 1495 00:49:15,829 --> 00:49:13,119 i think for me right my threats were eye 1496 00:49:18,470 --> 00:49:15,839 level and below right terrain 1497 00:49:22,230 --> 00:49:20,390 you know flying with instructors 1498 00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:22,240 asking questions hey what do you think 1499 00:49:26,710 --> 00:49:24,400 this looks like you know am i at 500 1500 00:49:28,390 --> 00:49:26,720 feet here you know uh 1501 00:49:30,549 --> 00:49:28,400 no you're at a thousand feet 1502 00:49:33,030 --> 00:49:30,559 um okay look at you you've got other 1503 00:49:34,950 --> 00:49:33,040 devices on the plane right to tell me 1504 00:49:36,950 --> 00:49:34,960 hey you're at a thousand feet you're at 1505 00:49:38,549 --> 00:49:36,960 500 feet you're too low there might be 1506 00:49:41,349 --> 00:49:38,559 some warnings that go off if you're too 1507 00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:41,359 low so you use that to gauge your 1508 00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:43,359 you know your your low level distance 1509 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:45,280 off the ground right are those kinds of 1510 00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:46,240 things 1511 00:49:49,670 --> 00:49:47,760 um but i'll tell you like weather 1512 00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:49,680 conditions make that more difficult and 1513 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:51,040 chris knows that as well right if it's 1514 00:49:54,230 --> 00:49:52,880 uh hazy outside if you only have three 1515 00:49:55,910 --> 00:49:54,240 miles of biz 1516 00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:55,920 you tend to fly higher because you're 1517 00:49:59,510 --> 00:49:57,440 like i don't be too close to the terrain 1518 00:50:01,349 --> 00:49:59,520 but actually you want to get lower so 1519 00:50:03,750 --> 00:50:01,359 the train is it's got some more detail 1520 00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:03,760 to it so you can you can see it and then 1521 00:50:07,829 --> 00:50:05,680 you can see the hidden stuff that's 1522 00:50:09,349 --> 00:50:07,839 coming i know you're doing this at night 1523 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:09,359 without a moon 1524 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:11,440 and now you really can't see you can get 1525 00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:13,040 hidden ridge lines and things like this 1526 00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:14,880 as well right but i've got 1527 00:50:18,950 --> 00:50:17,200 a lot of good electronic devices to help 1528 00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:18,960 me see that picture it might be a radar 1529 00:50:22,630 --> 00:50:20,640 that i have to learn how to interpret 1530 00:50:25,190 --> 00:50:22,640 into uh kind of a three-dimensional 1531 00:50:26,549 --> 00:50:25,200 picture right i got a navigator who's a 1532 00:50:28,870 --> 00:50:26,559 hell of a lot better looking at a radar 1533 00:50:31,270 --> 00:50:28,880 than i am so he's helping me i've got a 1534 00:50:33,109 --> 00:50:31,280 flight engineer who's on nvgs as well 1535 00:50:35,670 --> 00:50:33,119 you know and then i'm communicating to 1536 00:50:36,710 --> 00:50:35,680 the crew right if i'm flying saying 1537 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,720 hey give me that give me the highest 1538 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:39,119 piece of train hey it's at six miles two 1539 00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:41,520 o'clock okay i'm not visual with that 1540 00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:42,720 all right maybe we need to climb a 1541 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:43,760 little bit 1542 00:50:47,589 --> 00:50:46,160 or or maybe i don't have to yet then i'm 1543 00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:47,599 gonna let him know and i've got that in 1544 00:50:52,230 --> 00:50:50,240 sight sorry what's the next one hey 1545 00:50:53,270 --> 00:50:52,240 uh your dj might speak up hey man i see 1546 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:53,280 i see a ridgeline it looks like it's 1547 00:50:58,710 --> 00:50:55,440 about two miles yeah yeah i got that 1548 00:51:00,230 --> 00:50:58,720 okay so it's a it's a big crew 1549 00:51:01,829 --> 00:51:00,240 uh it's a big crew thing you know all of 1550 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:01,839 us are looking at our different devices 1551 00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:03,839 trying to pick up that terrain 1552 00:51:07,030 --> 00:51:04,960 and uh 1553 00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:07,040 and see that i had no threats from the 1554 00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:08,800 air that i was too worried about right 1555 00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:10,960 like i hope a guy like chris from 1556 00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:12,480 afghanistan you know who's in that 1557 00:51:16,230 --> 00:51:14,559 afghani or taliban air force really 1558 00:51:17,430 --> 00:51:16,240 doesn't look for me i think chris 1559 00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:17,440 probably would have shot him down before 1560 00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:19,520 he got airborne anyways but that wasn't 1561 00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:20,880 as big of a threat to it so i didn't 1562 00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:23,520 really have to id too much 1563 00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:25,200 about you know miles out in the distance 1564 00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:26,960 a tanker once you look for missiles i 1565 00:51:31,589 --> 00:51:28,880 guess how did how did you guys look for 1566 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:31,599 uh missile launches or i had an eo with 1567 00:51:35,270 --> 00:51:33,200 with a suite right 1568 00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:35,280 um if i ever got into a visual fight 1569 00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:36,480 with you guys 1570 00:51:39,670 --> 00:51:38,240 sure we're we're outside a lot more but 1571 00:51:41,270 --> 00:51:39,680 the load masters 1572 00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:41,280 are scanned a lot more the number two is 1573 00:51:44,549 --> 00:51:43,200 gonna sneak up buddy anyways right 1574 00:51:46,309 --> 00:51:44,559 oh and i'm in the middle of the day with 1575 00:51:47,990 --> 00:51:46,319 all my stuff on over the water so it's 1576 00:51:49,510 --> 00:51:48,000 pretty easy for you to find me anyway so 1577 00:51:52,230 --> 00:51:49,520 we didn't take that too seriously 1578 00:51:53,990 --> 00:51:52,240 besides just having fun with it but uh 1579 00:51:55,270 --> 00:51:54,000 you know maybe a tanker helicopter is 1580 00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:55,280 hard as heck to find especially the 1581 00:51:58,230 --> 00:51:57,119 little ones right dj 1582 00:52:01,349 --> 00:51:58,240 when they're 1583 00:52:02,950 --> 00:52:01,359 they're against a dark maybe built up 1584 00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:02,960 area and they've got one light on or 1585 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:04,240 something like that they're really hard 1586 00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:05,680 to see so again it's electronically 1587 00:52:09,349 --> 00:52:07,280 you're finding these 1588 00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:09,359 these these things right uh picking out 1589 00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:11,440 a touchdown zone is really important 1590 00:52:13,990 --> 00:52:13,040 otherwise 1591 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:14,000 who knows where you're gonna land on 1592 00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:15,359 that lz or you might have the wrong spot 1593 00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:17,680 picked out right i know the nav is is 1594 00:52:20,549 --> 00:52:19,200 doing his level best to get me exactly 1595 00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:20,559 where i want to be but i still have to 1596 00:52:25,349 --> 00:52:22,960 be visual at the touchdown point 1597 00:52:27,750 --> 00:52:25,359 if you're talking to dirt on dirt runway 1598 00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:27,760 sometimes you don't see that until 1599 00:52:31,670 --> 00:52:30,000 very close right i mean 1600 00:52:33,670 --> 00:52:31,680 very close before you see you might see 1601 00:52:35,670 --> 00:52:33,680 it on the ids on the fleer you might see 1602 00:52:37,349 --> 00:52:35,680 it really good so you know 1603 00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,359 man my flight path vector i'm going 1604 00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:39,599 right at it but visually 1605 00:52:42,150 --> 00:52:41,280 right that's something i did as a pilot 1606 00:52:44,470 --> 00:52:42,160 saying 1607 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:44,480 i've got like i positively told the crew 1608 00:52:48,309 --> 00:52:47,359 i've got the zone in sight so so they 1609 00:52:49,750 --> 00:52:48,319 knew 1610 00:52:51,510 --> 00:52:49,760 okay 1611 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:51,520 and so what's the craziest 1612 00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:53,280 what's the craziest field you've landed 1613 00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:54,240 on or 1614 00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:55,920 what was the craziest landing experience 1615 00:53:00,549 --> 00:52:57,920 because c130s that's your craz they do 1616 00:53:02,870 --> 00:53:00,559 crazy stuff i i was an exchange pilot 1617 00:53:04,630 --> 00:53:02,880 with the royal air force in there what 1618 00:53:05,670 --> 00:53:04,640 they called their special forces flight 1619 00:53:07,430 --> 00:53:05,680 and so 1620 00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:07,440 our regs were way different than the us 1621 00:53:12,950 --> 00:53:09,599 air forces so i've landed on some really 1622 00:53:15,750 --> 00:53:12,960 narrow stuff 40 foot wide their dj 1623 00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:15,760 and then uh it's always the sf guys tuck 1624 00:53:19,510 --> 00:53:18,160 these things into a ridgeline that just 1625 00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:19,520 you know it's got all these turbies at 1626 00:53:24,309 --> 00:53:22,000 about 100 feet i hated going in there 1627 00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:24,319 um because you'd pick up a big tailwind 1628 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:25,760 or you'd kind of balloon right at the 1629 00:53:29,510 --> 00:53:28,079 last minute it was really narrow and 1630 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:29,520 then it's uh 1631 00:53:32,630 --> 00:53:30,720 usually middle of the day too i don't 1632 00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:32,640 know why we always did that right so 1633 00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:34,559 they've got to close the highway down so 1634 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,640 it's just and then 1635 00:53:39,510 --> 00:53:38,240 if i landed a certain direction i 1636 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:39,520 couldn't turn around it was too nervous 1637 00:53:43,430 --> 00:53:41,680 i had to reverse i know my engines are 1638 00:53:45,030 --> 00:53:43,440 heating up and i'm just i got this huge 1639 00:53:47,030 --> 00:53:45,040 dust cloud in this huge make that right 1640 00:53:48,390 --> 00:53:47,040 for borders or something i 1641 00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:48,400 and i'm not a good pilot right i don't 1642 00:53:51,910 --> 00:53:50,400 have great hands like like you said 1643 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:51,920 there's a mid standard right i could do 1644 00:53:56,870 --> 00:53:55,040 all the stuff and do it safely um it was 1645 00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:56,880 just a challenge man i worry about going 1646 00:53:59,910 --> 00:53:58,720 into that spot 1647 00:54:01,349 --> 00:53:59,920 um yeah 1648 00:54:03,430 --> 00:54:01,359 i could tell you like for us with the 1649 00:54:05,349 --> 00:54:03,440 way we mitigate is uh i'd be like what 1650 00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:05,359 they call a high rider with the nvgs 1651 00:54:09,910 --> 00:54:07,520 what chris was asking so i'd ride with 1652 00:54:12,069 --> 00:54:09,920 my nvgs really high so i could just tilt 1653 00:54:14,309 --> 00:54:12,079 my head i could see the train i could 1654 00:54:16,069 --> 00:54:14,319 look down see the radar 1655 00:54:17,990 --> 00:54:16,079 see all the radar displays because they 1656 00:54:19,030 --> 00:54:18,000 they these guys the pilots each had two 1657 00:54:21,190 --> 00:54:19,040 displays 1658 00:54:22,710 --> 00:54:21,200 and one would have one radar up and an 1659 00:54:25,190 --> 00:54:22,720 adi and the other one would have the 1660 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:25,200 other radar up and the adi and then i 1661 00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:27,040 could have the stick map underneath 1662 00:54:30,710 --> 00:54:29,040 underneath that radar and all that right 1663 00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:30,720 so what i would do is i'd scan the 1664 00:54:34,549 --> 00:54:32,400 terrain if i'm not getting anything good 1665 00:54:36,069 --> 00:54:34,559 i'm down looking at the radar picking 1666 00:54:38,470 --> 00:54:36,079 out which one's giving me the net the 1667 00:54:40,470 --> 00:54:38,480 best picture listening to what those two 1668 00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:40,480 are saying and then come back take a 1669 00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:42,960 look but i could do it all without 1670 00:54:48,069 --> 00:54:45,839 moving the mvg just by tilting my head i 1671 00:54:49,589 --> 00:54:48,079 could see through and then i could also 1672 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:49,599 stay in touch with everything that was 1673 00:54:53,750 --> 00:54:51,119 going on in the panel then every now and 1674 00:54:55,589 --> 00:54:53,760 again make sure the fuels are balanced 1675 00:54:57,589 --> 00:54:55,599 and uh stuff like and i also talked 1676 00:55:00,549 --> 00:54:57,599 about stu i was one of these guys we 1677 00:55:01,990 --> 00:55:00,559 could be at the btd we could be on a 1678 00:55:04,150 --> 00:55:02,000 mission somewhere where we're gonna go 1679 00:55:07,030 --> 00:55:04,160 do train wherever the nicest place in 1680 00:55:08,870 --> 00:55:07,040 the world i'd i bring all my my toll dad 1681 00:55:10,630 --> 00:55:08,880 and materials back to the hotel and 1682 00:55:12,789 --> 00:55:10,640 before i even went anywhere i was 1683 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:12,799 calculating the next day okay it's going 1684 00:55:16,470 --> 00:55:15,280 to be about this hot uh we're going to 1685 00:55:18,309 --> 00:55:16,480 expecting 1686 00:55:21,670 --> 00:55:18,319 uh it will be about this heavy but i got 1687 00:55:23,510 --> 00:55:21,680 to go 10 000 up and a few thousand down 1688 00:55:25,829 --> 00:55:23,520 from that 5 000 down and i'm going to 1689 00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:25,839 make sure i got data for no matter what 1690 00:55:30,710 --> 00:55:28,960 comes up tomorrow when i step i'm ready 1691 00:55:32,710 --> 00:55:30,720 i i might change it when i get to the 1692 00:55:35,109 --> 00:55:32,720 airplane based on current conditions but 1693 00:55:37,190 --> 00:55:35,119 i've got at least something working that 1694 00:55:39,349 --> 00:55:37,200 if we have to push the aircraft i got 1695 00:55:41,670 --> 00:55:39,359 something and then i could just adjust 1696 00:55:42,950 --> 00:55:41,680 and [\h__\h] when you land on real like some 1697 00:55:45,670 --> 00:55:42,960 of these places out in the middle of the 1698 00:55:47,589 --> 00:55:45,680 desert well okay what's the real time 1699 00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:47,599 data there i have no weather reporting 1700 00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:49,520 unless there's combat controller giving 1701 00:55:53,750 --> 00:55:51,680 it to me i don't know what to what the 1702 00:55:56,069 --> 00:55:53,760 temp so what i would do is i'd wait till 1703 00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:56,079 we're about 100 feet off the deck i'd 1704 00:56:00,870 --> 00:55:58,880 take i'd get the pressure altitude off 1705 00:56:03,190 --> 00:56:00,880 the screen that they had and the 1706 00:56:05,109 --> 00:56:03,200 temperature before the airplane stops in 1707 00:56:07,349 --> 00:56:05,119 the real calculate total 1708 00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:07,359 yeah and i'd be like okay i'm good i 1709 00:56:12,069 --> 00:56:10,000 know my temp and my pa right now 1710 00:56:14,309 --> 00:56:12,079 and and i'm good just in case what i 1711 00:56:16,150 --> 00:56:14,319 calculated was wrong and we're gonna 1712 00:56:17,910 --> 00:56:16,160 have to get that close or we're not 1713 00:56:19,190 --> 00:56:17,920 gonna make the end of the runway and 1714 00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:19,200 that'll happen if you're taking off 1715 00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:21,280 somewhere like seven thou you know you 1716 00:56:26,309 --> 00:56:23,680 went to bogger imagine like places like 1717 00:56:27,750 --> 00:56:26,319 over 7000 feet there you could get in in 1718 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:27,760 a big hurry especially if there's a 1719 00:56:32,470 --> 00:56:30,400 slope and all that stuff so that's why 1720 00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:32,480 we need eight thousand feet to land 1721 00:56:37,589 --> 00:56:35,520 eight thousand feet long runway 1722 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:37,599 oh wow yeah we do have to be like 1723 00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:40,960 perfectly straight 1724 00:56:44,710 --> 00:56:42,880 pristine 1725 00:56:47,109 --> 00:56:44,720 and typically what would happen chris 1726 00:56:48,789 --> 00:56:47,119 with the c-130 guys is when we would get 1727 00:56:50,870 --> 00:56:48,799 in a c-130 guy and troy will tell you 1728 00:56:53,030 --> 00:56:50,880 this we'd put him in the aircraft we'd 1729 00:56:55,430 --> 00:56:53,040 get them on the tf radar we'd get down 1730 00:56:57,670 --> 00:56:55,440 to a thousand feet we go okay so that's 1731 00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:57,680 kind of their normal low-level altitude 1732 00:57:01,829 --> 00:56:59,040 and we'll be like okay we're going to 1733 00:57:03,430 --> 00:57:01,839 set 500 as our set clearance plane so 1734 00:57:06,069 --> 00:57:03,440 they'd come down and they might get a 1735 00:57:08,789 --> 00:57:06,079 little shaky then when we set 250 they'd 1736 00:57:10,710 --> 00:57:08,799 be riding high they'd be up near 400 and 1737 00:57:13,510 --> 00:57:10,720 the queues and be like get on the queue 1738 00:57:16,710 --> 00:57:13,520 like push push down get down on remember 1739 00:57:18,390 --> 00:57:16,720 that choice 250 you're talking 250 agl 1740 00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:18,400 right above the ground 58 but yeah 1741 00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:20,000 you're just following 1742 00:57:23,829 --> 00:57:21,440 you just put your flight pad vector 1743 00:57:25,829 --> 00:57:23,839 inside uh another circle right so it's 1744 00:57:27,750 --> 00:57:25,839 like a video game so usually i kept my 1745 00:57:29,349 --> 00:57:27,760 mvg's down it could be distracting if 1746 00:57:31,109 --> 00:57:29,359 the if you're going in and out of the 1747 00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:31,119 weather i usually just kind of sat down 1748 00:57:35,190 --> 00:57:32,640 a little bit lower my seat just played 1749 00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:35,200 video game and just pretended like 1750 00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:40,870 fine in the crowds man fine don't don't 1751 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:43,280 show it don't show you're weak just stay 1752 00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:45,359 on that truck but troy did you remember 1753 00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:47,040 guys coming in on slicks that we didn't 1754 00:57:49,829 --> 00:57:48,559 want to get on the queue they kept would 1755 00:57:51,030 --> 00:57:49,839 riding high on the queue and the 1756 00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:51,040 instructor would tell them get on the 1757 00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:52,960 queue i remember that 1758 00:57:57,190 --> 00:57:55,200 yeah i mean like chris said you did do i 1759 00:57:59,349 --> 00:57:57,200 mean like my last assignment there when 1760 00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:59,359 i was flying i mean even i had trouble 1761 00:58:02,230 --> 00:58:00,720 sometimes 1762 00:58:04,069 --> 00:58:02,240 you know where it's like 1763 00:58:05,670 --> 00:58:04,079 man you just see you're in the weather 1764 00:58:07,109 --> 00:58:05,680 and you feel like you're going too fast 1765 00:58:08,470 --> 00:58:07,119 because of the noise the plane is making 1766 00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:08,480 it you're not 1767 00:58:11,589 --> 00:58:10,240 and you just 1768 00:58:12,950 --> 00:58:11,599 you know you just don't want to push 1769 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,960 over like maybe used to when you're 1770 00:58:15,510 --> 00:58:14,640 younger you know like 1771 00:58:19,030 --> 00:58:15,520 like 1772 00:58:21,109 --> 00:58:19,040 these skills are perishable 1773 00:58:22,630 --> 00:58:21,119 right so you have to practice and i'm 1774 00:58:24,390 --> 00:58:22,640 sure i'm sure 1775 00:58:25,589 --> 00:58:24,400 you know like there are some 1776 00:58:28,710 --> 00:58:25,599 months or after deployment you're just 1777 00:58:30,390 --> 00:58:28,720 like man i've got this thing licked like 1778 00:58:31,349 --> 00:58:30,400 checklists like everything like we're 1779 00:58:33,910 --> 00:58:31,359 just so 1780 00:58:35,750 --> 00:58:33,920 bonded and you just buy so much and then 1781 00:58:38,069 --> 00:58:35,760 you get two weeks off or maybe you go to 1782 00:58:39,910 --> 00:58:38,079 sos right or something and now you just 1783 00:58:41,109 --> 00:58:39,920 are just like oh gosh like 1784 00:58:42,630 --> 00:58:41,119 i haven't been in the books because i've 1785 00:58:44,549 --> 00:58:42,640 been doing other things and i'm not 1786 00:58:47,670 --> 00:58:44,559 proficient at all right but that's what 1787 00:58:50,390 --> 00:58:47,680 instructors are for and and crew and 1788 00:58:51,589 --> 00:58:50,400 simulators and hey another thing just i 1789 00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:51,599 thought of as well when you're talking 1790 00:58:55,589 --> 00:58:54,160 like visual acuity and stuff we had nvg 1791 00:58:57,910 --> 00:58:55,599 i don't know if you ever use these chris 1792 00:58:59,430 --> 00:58:57,920 uh mvg like a train 1793 00:59:01,589 --> 00:58:59,440 uh mat 1794 00:59:03,030 --> 00:59:01,599 where they could change the moon yeah 1795 00:59:04,470 --> 00:59:03,040 they could give you different uh you go 1796 00:59:06,309 --> 00:59:04,480 to so you go into a dark room with a 1797 00:59:08,069 --> 00:59:06,319 train map right yeah you know it would 1798 00:59:09,829 --> 00:59:08,079 have power lines on it and a lot of 1799 00:59:11,190 --> 00:59:09,839 different things they could change 1800 00:59:12,789 --> 00:59:11,200 uh 1801 00:59:14,950 --> 00:59:12,799 the percentage of the moon illumination 1802 00:59:16,870 --> 00:59:14,960 basically to show you yeah this is how 1803 00:59:17,589 --> 00:59:16,880 ridgeline can get hidden and you could 1804 00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:17,599 be 1805 00:59:20,549 --> 00:59:19,040 thinking you're clear of the one out at 1806 00:59:22,549 --> 00:59:20,559 five miles but there's one at two or 1807 00:59:24,549 --> 00:59:22,559 three that that you're going to hit 1808 00:59:25,430 --> 00:59:24,559 right so they show you these things as 1809 00:59:27,270 --> 00:59:25,440 well 1810 00:59:28,390 --> 00:59:27,280 of how these illusions and things can 1811 00:59:29,670 --> 00:59:28,400 work 1812 00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:29,680 fascinating 1813 00:59:34,150 --> 00:59:31,839 that's awesome um well if you guys don't 1814 00:59:35,829 --> 00:59:34,160 mind i mean after hearing all that stuff 1815 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:35,839 i think it's incredible and i'd like to 1816 00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:38,319 pivot again to uh looking at some actual 1817 00:59:42,309 --> 00:59:40,240 videos and getting your thoughts on on 1818 00:59:43,910 --> 00:59:42,319 some of this stuff

1824 00:59:56,230 --> 00:59:54,000 um the first one that i'm gonna put up 1825 00:59:56,950 --> 00:59:56,240 on screen here let me get that ready to 1826 00:59:58,829 --> 00:59:56,960 go 1827 01:00:00,390 --> 00:59:58,839 is a 1828 01:00:03,750 --> 01:00:00,400 uh 1829 01:00:06,309 --> 01:00:03,760 is a video that was shot by 1830 01:00:07,589 --> 01:00:06,319 uh some photographers essentially 1831 01:00:09,829 --> 01:00:07,599 and um 1832 01:00:13,109 --> 01:00:09,839 and these guys were doing some drone 1833 01:00:17,349 --> 01:00:13,119 photography in beaver utah uh this was 1834 01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:17,359 in january of 2019 uh and they were 1835 01:00:21,190 --> 01:00:19,520 really just out shooting some landscapes 1836 01:00:24,470 --> 01:00:21,200 basically and then when they got back 1837 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:24,480 and processed their uh their video their 1838 01:00:28,309 --> 01:00:26,640 raw video uh they saw something that was 1839 01:00:30,549 --> 01:00:28,319 pretty strange so what i'm gonna do is 1840 01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:30,559 put that on screen and uh and we'll do 1841 01:00:33,990 --> 01:00:32,000 the audio a little bit and we probably 1842 01:00:35,349 --> 01:00:34,000 won't do the whole uh the whole clip but 1843 01:00:36,630 --> 01:00:35,359 we'll do enough of it sure you get a 1844 01:00:38,309 --> 01:00:36,640 sense of like what it what it is that 1845 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:38,319 they were seeing so let me add this to 1846 01:00:41,910 --> 01:00:39,680 the stream 1847 01:00:45,510 --> 01:00:41,920 and uh get the sound going here we'll 1848 01:00:48,630 --> 01:00:46,789 and i 1849 01:01:09,109 --> 01:00:48,640 curious what uh speed you guys think 1850 01:01:13,510 --> 01:01:11,510 and we're just like you know me and our 1851 01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:13,520 drone operator basically what we do is 1852 01:01:17,349 --> 01:01:14,960 we go out 1853 01:01:20,710 --> 01:01:17,359 to find epic landscapes to use this 1854 01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:20,720 bureau in the film and so we 1855 01:01:23,990 --> 01:01:22,480 uh 1856 01:01:26,390 --> 01:01:24,000 put up the drone 1857 01:01:28,390 --> 01:01:26,400 you know got some pretty great shots 1858 01:01:30,549 --> 01:01:28,400 we're probably like four or five hundred 1859 01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:30,559 feet away from the drone don't hear 1860 01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:32,240 don't see anything 1861 01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:35,280 go back to our hotel room that night 1862 01:01:39,270 --> 01:01:37,040 uh go to dinner 1863 01:01:40,630 --> 01:01:39,280 our drone operator 1864 01:01:42,390 --> 01:01:40,640 kind of starts scrubbing through the 1865 01:01:43,990 --> 01:01:42,400 footage we like just go through the 1866 01:01:45,589 --> 01:01:44,000 footage every night just to make sure 1867 01:01:48,390 --> 01:01:45,599 that everything 1868 01:01:49,270 --> 01:01:48,400 turns out okay and he come he comes up 1869 01:01:53,750 --> 01:01:49,280 to 1870 01:01:55,829 --> 01:01:53,760 don't know 1871 01:01:59,029 --> 01:01:55,839 what what i just saw but like we 1872 01:02:00,230 --> 01:01:59,039 captured some crazy [\h__\h] out there and 1873 01:02:02,710 --> 01:02:00,240 let me stop it right there i think you 1874 01:02:04,630 --> 01:02:02,720 guys saw the clip a few times uh so 1875 01:02:06,390 --> 01:02:04,640 let's get some initial reactions i i 1876 01:02:08,950 --> 01:02:06,400 know chris you've got some detail on it 1877 01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:08,960 but i want to come back to you troy 1878 01:02:12,950 --> 01:02:10,640 what's your initial reaction to this 1879 01:02:14,150 --> 01:02:12,960 this video 1880 01:02:16,390 --> 01:02:14,160 you know 1881 01:02:21,029 --> 01:02:16,400 my initial reaction because i have never 1882 01:02:24,470 --> 01:02:21,039 seen anything personally abnormal 1883 01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:24,480 is well if you want me to 1884 01:02:28,150 --> 01:02:26,000 to think it's something other than 1885 01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:28,160 what's explainable or that's not 1886 01:02:32,150 --> 01:02:29,280 doctored 1887 01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:34,069 like and i don't really even care but if 1888 01:02:37,990 --> 01:02:36,000 you told me like i had to believe i'd be 1889 01:02:39,990 --> 01:02:38,000 like well i need i need somebody to kind 1890 01:02:41,990 --> 01:02:40,000 of break it down for me right explain to 1891 01:02:43,510 --> 01:02:42,000 me why this isn't uh you know because 1892 01:02:46,470 --> 01:02:43,520 i've watched movies with dinosaurs in 1893 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:46,480 there and dinosaurs exactly 1894 01:02:49,829 --> 01:02:48,640 that's right no that's a great point 1895 01:02:51,670 --> 01:02:49,839 not that i don't not that i don't 1896 01:02:53,990 --> 01:02:51,680 believe but if you told me my life 1897 01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:54,000 depended on it then people would have to 1898 01:02:57,510 --> 01:02:56,319 help me understand it 1899 01:02:59,029 --> 01:02:57,520 absolutely because i definitely saw 1900 01:02:59,910 --> 01:02:59,039 something strange right 1901 01:03:01,750 --> 01:02:59,920 right 1902 01:03:04,710 --> 01:03:01,760 can we assume it's not doctored i guess 1903 01:03:05,829 --> 01:03:04,720 for the sake you know because um i 1904 01:03:07,910 --> 01:03:05,839 they 1905 01:03:10,470 --> 01:03:07,920 has anyone actually analyzed it to show 1906 01:03:12,309 --> 01:03:10,480 that it isn't doctored from all that 1907 01:03:15,910 --> 01:03:12,319 i've heard about this particular clip 1908 01:03:17,829 --> 01:03:15,920 and it wasn't uh they posted the raw 1909 01:03:20,470 --> 01:03:17,839 video footage which is the raw as a 1910 01:03:23,029 --> 01:03:20,480 format it's a it's a video format uh 1911 01:03:24,630 --> 01:03:23,039 that they took uh from that day so you 1912 01:03:26,230 --> 01:03:24,640 know according to them and others that 1913 01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:26,240 have looked at it more closely there's 1914 01:03:31,430 --> 01:03:28,960 there's no evidence of of doctoring that 1915 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:31,440 i'm aware of 1916 01:03:35,829 --> 01:03:33,599 yeah so we guess we can assume it's 1917 01:03:37,829 --> 01:03:35,839 we'll just assume it's not doctor troy i 1918 01:03:39,750 --> 01:03:37,839 i think it was 2016 is that correct i 1919 01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:39,760 think they filmed it in 2016 but they 1920 01:03:45,589 --> 01:03:41,520 didn't release it until 1921 01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:47,829 they didn't want to raise from what the 1922 01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:49,760 guy said i think he said he really 1923 01:03:53,349 --> 01:03:51,760 didn't want he didn't know what kind of 1924 01:03:55,670 --> 01:03:53,359 reaction it was going to get he didn't 1925 01:03:57,430 --> 01:03:55,680 want to raise suspicion or get i think 1926 01:03:59,990 --> 01:03:57,440 have people from the government contact 1927 01:04:01,670 --> 01:04:00,000 him about it something like that so i'm 1928 01:04:03,349 --> 01:04:01,680 just assuming that 1929 01:04:05,430 --> 01:04:03,359 that the video's genuine just for the 1930 01:04:07,430 --> 01:04:05,440 sake of the discussion and then take it 1931 01:04:09,829 --> 01:04:07,440 from there but i'm not asking anybody to 1932 01:04:11,589 --> 01:04:09,839 believe anything 1933 01:04:13,910 --> 01:04:11,599 i get our last choice how far do you 1934 01:04:16,470 --> 01:04:13,920 think that ridge line is can you see it 1935 01:04:20,069 --> 01:04:17,670 where it comes 1936 01:04:21,990 --> 01:04:20,079 i'd say 10 plus miles right 1937 01:04:23,430 --> 01:04:22,000 well to the far line but if you zoom in 1938 01:04:25,829 --> 01:04:23,440 it's just that first ridge i don't know 1939 01:04:27,270 --> 01:04:25,839 if you can control it nathan can you see 1940 01:04:29,109 --> 01:04:27,280 if i can go back to the very beginning 1941 01:04:30,630 --> 01:04:29,119 or where it zooms in i think later in 1942 01:04:31,750 --> 01:04:30,640 the video maybe yeah it looks like it 1943 01:04:36,390 --> 01:04:31,760 looks like 1944 01:04:40,549 --> 01:04:38,470 yeah right there so that if you look 1945 01:04:42,710 --> 01:04:40,559 troy it goes around that uh yeah right 1946 01:04:49,109 --> 01:04:42,720 there at least it comes around that that 1947 01:04:51,349 --> 01:04:50,390 so how far away do we think that might 1948 01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:51,359 be 1949 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:55,520 finger yeah yeah i 1950 01:05:01,190 --> 01:04:58,079 i said it more than one but uh yeah i 1951 01:05:01,990 --> 01:05:01,200 think you're right less than three 1952 01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:02,000 um 1953 01:05:06,309 --> 01:05:04,400 so if you time it right from when it 1954 01:05:08,150 --> 01:05:06,319 basically turns that corner 1955 01:05:09,990 --> 01:05:08,160 it's less than a second until it goes 1956 01:05:12,630 --> 01:05:10,000 out of frame you know so basically turns 1957 01:05:14,789 --> 01:05:12,640 there and goes out of a second 1958 01:05:15,910 --> 01:05:14,799 so you can basically say it's it's going 1959 01:05:17,270 --> 01:05:15,920 at least 1960 01:05:19,349 --> 01:05:17,280 a mile 1961 01:05:20,630 --> 01:05:19,359 in a second 1962 01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:20,640 yeah and i think i remember reading 1963 01:05:24,230 --> 01:05:22,640 somewhere that it was about three miles 1964 01:05:25,190 --> 01:05:24,240 uh that they when they did the math on 1965 01:05:26,309 --> 01:05:25,200 it 1966 01:05:27,670 --> 01:05:26,319 yeah i was trying to find the 1967 01:05:29,109 --> 01:05:27,680 coordinates i couldn't find the exact 1968 01:05:31,430 --> 01:05:29,119 quarter but let's say you could find the 1969 01:05:33,510 --> 01:05:31,440 coordinates of that ridge and then you 1970 01:05:35,190 --> 01:05:33,520 you just uh go forward but it's at least 1971 01:05:37,190 --> 01:05:35,200 a mile i think 1972 01:05:40,230 --> 01:05:37,200 um so i guess the answer would be it's 1973 01:05:42,630 --> 01:05:40,240 going at least a mile a second 1974 01:05:43,829 --> 01:05:42,640 uh so a mile a second 1975 01:05:46,069 --> 01:05:43,839 um 1976 01:05:48,549 --> 01:05:46,079 is 60 miles 1977 01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:48,559 a minute right 1978 01:05:57,510 --> 01:05:53,670 6 1979 01:05:59,029 --> 01:05:57,520 it's fast 1980 01:06:01,589 --> 01:05:59,039 yeah it's mach uh 1981 01:06:04,549 --> 01:06:01,599 so 10 miles a minute is mach 1 1982 01:06:05,910 --> 01:06:04,559 so 60 miles a minute is is mach 6 1983 01:06:08,470 --> 01:06:05,920 okay 1984 01:06:10,630 --> 01:06:08,480 so if it's if it's not doctored 1985 01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:10,640 um and and it looks like it's coming 1986 01:06:15,190 --> 01:06:13,440 from that ridge if if it looks 1987 01:06:17,829 --> 01:06:15,200 like what it is 1988 01:06:19,589 --> 01:06:17,839 then it's traveling at least mach 6 1989 01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:19,599 and if it were three miles away that 1990 01:06:21,589 --> 01:06:20,559 would be 1991 01:06:23,750 --> 01:06:21,599 three times 1992 01:06:25,910 --> 01:06:23,760 multiple okay got it 1993 01:06:27,349 --> 01:06:25,920 yeah but it's not hypersonic but it's 1994 01:06:29,109 --> 01:06:27,359 it's damn fast 1995 01:06:31,349 --> 01:06:29,119 well that would be mach 18 that would be 1996 01:06:33,750 --> 01:06:31,359 hypersonic um okay wow i think 1997 01:06:35,589 --> 01:06:33,760 hypertonic is five i think hypersonic is 1998 01:06:37,109 --> 01:06:35,599 mach 5 plus but uh 1999 01:06:38,230 --> 01:06:37,119 and what what is uh 2000 01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:38,240 sorry for my ignorance what is 2001 01:06:41,589 --> 01:06:39,920 supersonic or when do you break the when 2002 01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:41,599 do you get a sonic boom what is it so 2003 01:06:45,510 --> 01:06:43,680 it's uh 2004 01:06:47,990 --> 01:06:45,520 yeah it's based on that the pressure and 2005 01:06:49,270 --> 01:06:48,000 the temperature the density of the air 2006 01:06:51,349 --> 01:06:49,280 because it's a 2007 01:06:53,349 --> 01:06:51,359 impact wave right 2008 01:06:55,190 --> 01:06:53,359 whatever that i can't remember what 2009 01:06:57,349 --> 01:06:55,200 that's called but anyway um 2010 01:06:59,829 --> 01:06:57,359 i looked it up just for this video it's 2011 01:07:04,390 --> 01:06:59,839 basically a thousand feet per second 2012 01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:04,400 at sea level 700 and 750 miles per hour 2013 01:07:07,910 --> 01:07:06,240 but it goes down rapidly 2014 01:07:11,029 --> 01:07:07,920 as the temperature and the pressure 2015 01:07:12,950 --> 01:07:11,039 decreases so as you go up in altitude 2016 01:07:14,870 --> 01:07:12,960 you know the mach number stays the same 2017 01:07:16,390 --> 01:07:14,880 but your miles per hour will decrease 2018 01:07:17,510 --> 01:07:16,400 rapidly so 2019 01:07:19,190 --> 01:07:17,520 um 2020 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:19,200 so at this speed would there would there 2021 01:07:22,789 --> 01:07:21,680 have been a uh a sonic boom or if it 2022 01:07:24,230 --> 01:07:22,799 were going without it 2023 01:07:26,390 --> 01:07:24,240 yeah yeah so if you go to the model they 2024 01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:26,400 said they didn't hear anything sorry 2025 01:07:30,069 --> 01:07:27,359 but yeah 2026 01:07:31,589 --> 01:07:30,079 yeah if you go mach 1.0 um 2027 01:07:33,829 --> 01:07:31,599 as far as we understand it you know 2028 01:07:35,670 --> 01:07:33,839 you're pushing the the it's the pressure 2029 01:07:37,109 --> 01:07:35,680 waves build up on each other basically 2030 01:07:38,789 --> 01:07:37,119 because you're going as fast as the 2031 01:07:41,190 --> 01:07:38,799 sound that you're creating right if 2032 01:07:42,870 --> 01:07:41,200 you're like running and you're yelling 2033 01:07:44,549 --> 01:07:42,880 right but you're going the speed of 2034 01:07:46,230 --> 01:07:44,559 sound the the 2035 01:07:47,829 --> 01:07:46,240 the noisy you're making is just gonna 2036 01:07:49,349 --> 01:07:47,839 going to stay in the same spot does that 2037 01:07:50,630 --> 01:07:49,359 make sense yeah 2038 01:07:52,950 --> 01:07:50,640 so that's that's what's happening with 2039 01:07:54,230 --> 01:07:52,960 the sonic boom is is basically the noise 2040 01:07:55,910 --> 01:07:54,240 that you're making 2041 01:07:57,750 --> 01:07:55,920 is is catching up with the noise that 2042 01:07:59,589 --> 01:07:57,760 you're making and it and it makes this 2043 01:08:01,829 --> 01:07:59,599 this pressure wave 2044 01:08:04,390 --> 01:08:01,839 uh and so that's right at 1.0 so yeah 2045 01:08:06,230 --> 01:08:04,400 anything faster than 10 miles a minute 2046 01:08:08,470 --> 01:08:06,240 it should be should be breaking the 2047 01:08:10,470 --> 01:08:08,480 soundbar okay 2048 01:08:13,430 --> 01:08:10,480 and and what did you make of the 2049 01:08:15,349 --> 01:08:13,440 i mean to me it looks like it's doing a 2050 01:08:16,950 --> 01:08:15,359 bank of some kind is that 2051 01:08:18,789 --> 01:08:16,960 how you would interpret that 2052 01:08:21,990 --> 01:08:18,799 at the beginning of that when it kind of 2053 01:08:23,430 --> 01:08:22,000 first appears in the video 2054 01:08:25,510 --> 01:08:23,440 yeah i guess i saw there was a really 2055 01:08:28,709 --> 01:08:25,520 good video done you shared it uh on the 2056 01:08:30,789 --> 01:08:28,719 twitter uh where he talks about um 2057 01:08:32,709 --> 01:08:30,799 parallax error 2058 01:08:34,229 --> 01:08:32,719 uh but basically yeah that video 2059 01:08:36,870 --> 01:08:34,239 explains it right there yeah you see a 2060 01:08:38,550 --> 01:08:36,880 definite turn there's a bank yeah or it 2061 01:08:40,709 --> 01:08:38,560 would have yeah if he didn't make that 2062 01:08:42,390 --> 01:08:40,719 it would have gone to the right of the 2063 01:08:43,990 --> 01:08:42,400 the drone 2064 01:08:47,590 --> 01:08:44,000 and uh so does that make it seem as if 2065 01:08:50,470 --> 01:08:47,600 it's kind of coming down into the valley 2066 01:08:56,149 --> 01:08:52,550 that's what it looks like to me 2067 01:09:00,630 --> 01:08:58,149 that's like what fraver described that's 2068 01:09:02,229 --> 01:09:00,640 basically what we're looking at there 2069 01:09:04,229 --> 01:09:02,239 yeah it even normally kind of looks like 2070 01:09:07,269 --> 01:09:04,239 a tic tac yes it's going by you know i 2071 01:09:09,669 --> 01:09:07,279 don't know it looks a little not as long 2072 01:09:11,269 --> 01:09:09,679 it's pretty big that's pretty big 2073 01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:11,279 you know it's not yeah i did if can you 2074 01:09:14,630 --> 01:09:12,960 stop it when it's over a tree maybe or 2075 01:09:16,309 --> 01:09:14,640 something i mean okay yeah let me try 2076 01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:16,319 that how can you size it if you can 2077 01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:23,269 because the big thing troy is it could 2078 01:09:27,990 --> 01:09:26,319 it be a bug but actually in this video 2079 01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:28,000 in the actual raw footage a few minutes 2080 01:09:32,870 --> 01:09:29,679 before there is a bug and it looks it 2081 01:09:34,789 --> 01:09:32,880 looks totally different like if you look 2082 01:09:37,189 --> 01:09:34,799 uh maybe one more frame can you go one 2083 01:09:38,630 --> 01:09:37,199 more let me see what i can do there 2084 01:09:40,470 --> 01:09:38,640 that's that's a beautiful shot right 2085 01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:40,480 there now it's out it's out of the frame 2086 01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:41,520 right 2087 01:09:44,630 --> 01:09:43,199 yeah it did i thought there was one more 2088 01:09:46,709 --> 01:09:44,640 closer yeah hold on let me see if i can 2089 01:09:50,870 --> 01:09:46,719 get it faster 2090 01:09:56,709 --> 01:09:53,749 because there's a tree 2091 01:10:01,669 --> 01:09:58,709 yeah i mean it depends how much of it is 2092 01:10:03,830 --> 01:10:01,679 like uh yeah 2093 01:10:06,950 --> 01:10:03,840 it looks like it so that would be larger 2094 01:10:09,110 --> 01:10:06,960 than i was initially thinking you know 2095 01:10:11,350 --> 01:10:09,120 yeah forever said 40 feet that looks 2096 01:10:14,229 --> 01:10:11,360 like i could see where that could be 2097 01:10:16,790 --> 01:10:14,239 at least in that range fuselage 2098 01:10:19,189 --> 01:10:16,800 uh fighter uh fuselage 2099 01:10:21,110 --> 01:10:19,199 uh length maybe 2100 01:10:22,790 --> 01:10:21,120 that's what it looks like to me anyway 2101 01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:22,800 yeah when i first watched it i i thought 2102 01:10:27,030 --> 01:10:24,960 it was just a ball you know 2103 01:10:28,709 --> 01:10:27,040 is what it looks like but it as you slow 2104 01:10:31,110 --> 01:10:28,719 it down and when they zoom in i don't 2105 01:10:33,510 --> 01:10:31,120 know if that's a result of the just the 2106 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:33,520 because it's going so fast that right oh 2107 01:10:39,030 --> 01:10:37,199 it's stretching out it's stretched out 2108 01:10:41,830 --> 01:10:39,040 which doesn't actually make sense but 2109 01:10:43,510 --> 01:10:41,840 anyway yeah well i i appreciate your 2110 01:10:45,590 --> 01:10:43,520 insight on that and and troy i mean to 2111 01:10:48,149 --> 01:10:45,600 your point i think that's 2112 01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:48,159 extremely valid right we need more the 2113 01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:49,760 more data we can actually get on 2114 01:10:53,910 --> 01:10:52,000 something like this the more we can 2115 01:10:55,830 --> 01:10:53,920 you know really understand it legitimize 2116 01:10:56,709 --> 01:10:55,840 it but as you said right now it's you 2117 01:10:57,910 --> 01:10:56,719 know it's something that looks 2118 01:10:59,830 --> 01:10:57,920 fantastical but there are a lot of 2119 01:11:01,990 --> 01:10:59,840 fantastical things that we see 2120 01:11:02,790 --> 01:11:02,000 uh in video for sure 2121 01:11:05,830 --> 01:11:02,800 yeah 2122 01:11:07,189 --> 01:11:05,840 and you know i'm not a physicist or 2123 01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:07,199 anything like that like your astronaut 2124 01:11:13,430 --> 01:11:11,990 like why is it there a sonic boom with 2125 01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:13,440 this right and 2126 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,880 you're sure there's technologies or 2127 01:11:17,830 --> 01:11:16,320 whatever i mean 2128 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:17,840 is that can that even happen in this 2129 01:11:25,270 --> 01:11:23,350 so again just thinking like just 2130 01:11:27,669 --> 01:11:25,280 strictly down a 2131 01:11:29,669 --> 01:11:27,679 you know physics 101 kind of path it's 2132 01:11:30,550 --> 01:11:29,679 hard to imagine right 2133 01:11:33,750 --> 01:11:30,560 right 2134 01:11:35,990 --> 01:11:33,760 uh well let's go let's take a look at 2135 01:11:38,229 --> 01:11:36,000 the at the next one if you guys uh want 2136 01:11:39,430 --> 01:11:38,239 to get some more of these 2137 01:11:41,270 --> 01:11:39,440 and it shouldn't even matter with the 2138 01:11:43,030 --> 01:11:41,280 size right because the you know a reason 2139 01:11:44,550 --> 01:11:43,040 bullets are so loud is because they're 2140 01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:44,560 they're supersonic 2141 01:11:47,510 --> 01:11:46,080 or most of them right they don't have to 2142 01:11:50,950 --> 01:11:47,520 be supersonic but most bullets are 2143 01:11:52,630 --> 01:11:50,960 supersonic and then they slow down um 2144 01:11:54,870 --> 01:11:52,640 and if they slow down too much they they 2145 01:11:57,430 --> 01:11:54,880 won't fuse right so you 2146 01:12:00,070 --> 01:11:57,440 uh even if a bullet so if even something 2147 01:12:01,910 --> 01:12:00,080 this small goes supersonic 2148 01:12:04,790 --> 01:12:01,920 it will be very loud so it's not just 2149 01:12:06,709 --> 01:12:04,800 the explosion from the from the 2150 01:12:09,110 --> 01:12:06,719 powder that causes all of the sound it 2151 01:12:10,870 --> 01:12:09,120 causes a lot of sound but it's this 2152 01:12:13,270 --> 01:12:10,880 bullet going supersonic so every time 2153 01:12:16,149 --> 01:12:13,280 you hear shoot a gun you're hearing a uh 2154 01:12:19,270 --> 01:12:16,159 it it's a supersonic wave as well okay 2155 01:12:21,189 --> 01:12:19,280 um so this thing even i actually thought 2156 01:12:22,390 --> 01:12:21,199 it was smaller than what we just kind of 2157 01:12:24,630 --> 01:12:22,400 looked at 2158 01:12:26,390 --> 01:12:24,640 but even if it was small it should have 2159 01:12:27,590 --> 01:12:26,400 sounded like a bullet flying by these 2160 01:12:29,350 --> 01:12:27,600 guys if they were around you know it 2161 01:12:31,350 --> 01:12:29,360 should have been like a gunshot at least 2162 01:12:33,590 --> 01:12:31,360 even if it was bullet sized so if it's 2163 01:12:35,350 --> 01:12:33,600 like as big as a you know a bus it 2164 01:12:37,510 --> 01:12:35,360 should be making a full-on it should be 2165 01:12:38,630 --> 01:12:37,520 breaking windows and i mean right chris 2166 01:12:41,350 --> 01:12:38,640 they should have heard an aircraft 2167 01:12:42,790 --> 01:12:41,360 engine if it was something that we're 2168 01:12:45,350 --> 01:12:42,800 familiar with i mean it would it would 2169 01:12:47,669 --> 01:12:45,360 have sounded like an f-104 thunder chief 2170 01:12:49,350 --> 01:12:47,679 going by i mean that that's 2171 01:12:50,390 --> 01:12:49,360 you should hear something if that's an 2172 01:12:52,470 --> 01:12:50,400 aircraft 2173 01:12:54,390 --> 01:12:52,480 it's obviously whatever it is it's not 2174 01:12:58,870 --> 01:12:54,400 an aircraft there's obviously a flight 2175 01:13:01,590 --> 01:12:59,910 that's 2176 01:13:02,950 --> 01:13:01,600 wild so they had the power all the way 2177 01:13:05,030 --> 01:13:02,960 back right troy 2178 01:13:07,110 --> 01:13:05,040 yeah he's going from mach 20 plus down 2179 01:13:09,430 --> 01:13:07,120 to six so yeah just dial it back a 2180 01:13:10,950 --> 01:13:09,440 little bit but i do want to ask droid i 2181 01:13:13,510 --> 01:13:10,960 mean troy what do you think of that you 2182 01:13:16,229 --> 01:13:13,520 know is it uh do you just write it off 2183 01:13:17,590 --> 01:13:16,239 or yeah that that one i do that one i do 2184 01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:17,600 i mean i'm sure there's others that i'm 2185 01:13:22,390 --> 01:13:18,640 like 2186 01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:22,400 saw something one night and it boom did 2187 01:13:25,750 --> 01:13:24,480 this i i would believe you 2188 01:13:26,630 --> 01:13:25,760 period right 2189 01:13:29,430 --> 01:13:26,640 um 2190 01:13:31,110 --> 01:13:29,440 this this one here ah yeah i don't know 2191 01:13:33,270 --> 01:13:31,120 an amateur video that he doesn't want to 2192 01:13:34,630 --> 01:13:33,280 put out for three years 2193 01:13:36,790 --> 01:13:34,640 uh 2194 01:13:38,310 --> 01:13:36,800 it doesn't not today graphically it 2195 01:13:41,189 --> 01:13:38,320 doesn't look 2196 01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:41,199 as good as some other ones i've seen 2197 01:13:44,950 --> 01:13:42,560 you know but 2198 01:13:46,630 --> 01:13:44,960 that's just me i think i'm a little bit 2199 01:13:48,550 --> 01:13:46,640 on the other side of the fence because i 2200 01:13:52,070 --> 01:13:48,560 haven't seen enough 2201 01:13:53,110 --> 01:13:52,080 to start to get that interest and and 2202 01:13:54,630 --> 01:13:53,120 you know 2203 01:13:56,390 --> 01:13:54,640 yeah i think there's nice and strange 2204 01:13:57,750 --> 01:13:56,400 stuff out there let's go 2205 01:13:59,510 --> 01:13:57,760 keep going then what's the next one 2206 01:14:02,709 --> 01:13:59,520 though yeah no i think that's great okay 2207 01:14:06,470 --> 01:14:02,719 so here so this next one is um 2208 01:14:07,990 --> 01:14:06,480 was uh shared in 2019's came from jeremy 2209 01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:08,000 corbell and it's a 2210 01:14:12,229 --> 01:14:09,199 spherical 2211 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:12,239 ufo this was captured from the uss omaha 2212 01:14:16,470 --> 01:14:14,800 in a warning area off of 2213 01:14:18,950 --> 01:14:16,480 san diego 2214 01:14:20,310 --> 01:14:18,960 so let me full screen that and i've got 2215 01:14:22,149 --> 01:14:20,320 the audio on this one too because the 2216 01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:22,159 crew this is this was 2217 01:15:08,950 --> 01:14:31,750 yeah this is the beginning when he 2218 01:15:15,750 --> 01:15:11,030 some six foot swells well it's getting 2219 01:15:26,870 --> 01:15:17,750 yeah we have uh 2220 01:15:30,149 --> 01:15:27,910 all right 2221 01:15:31,669 --> 01:15:30,159 that's the clip 2222 01:15:33,590 --> 01:15:31,679 reactions troy what do you think about 2223 01:15:39,590 --> 01:15:33,600 that 2224 01:15:42,950 --> 01:15:41,189 a navy ship 2225 01:15:45,990 --> 01:15:42,960 correct yeah 2226 01:15:48,229 --> 01:15:46,000 it's the uss omaha that video was out of 2227 01:15:49,830 --> 01:15:48,239 the cic and i'll just say i'll just 2228 01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:49,840 preface this whole thing with saying 2229 01:15:54,870 --> 01:15:52,400 that i believe that the navy's given 2230 01:15:56,470 --> 01:15:54,880 these to jeremy corbell uh because i 2231 01:15:57,990 --> 01:15:56,480 don't think that video would make it off 2232 01:16:00,390 --> 01:15:58,000 the cic without someone getting 2233 01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:00,400 court-martialed so clearly someone is 2234 01:16:05,669 --> 01:16:03,360 allowing it to be emailed or somehow 2235 01:16:09,590 --> 01:16:05,679 dropboxed to jeremy corbell and that's 2236 01:16:12,630 --> 01:16:11,270 he's got four or five of them or 2237 01:16:14,870 --> 01:16:12,640 something i don't know two or three i 2238 01:16:16,470 --> 01:16:14,880 don't know how many but he's got i did i 2239 01:16:17,270 --> 01:16:16,480 just want to bring up one point since 2240 01:16:20,470 --> 01:16:17,280 you 2241 01:16:22,950 --> 01:16:20,480 brought it up uh nathan is um mick west 2242 01:16:24,870 --> 01:16:22,960 was saying he has an argument uh 2243 01:16:27,669 --> 01:16:24,880 that basically it's just a light behind 2244 01:16:30,550 --> 01:16:27,679 a it's like a flashlight on the horizon 2245 01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:30,560 okay a distant a distant plane 2246 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:32,159 it's a distant plane and that's at the 2247 01:16:35,189 --> 01:16:33,360 end that's what we're seeing right it's 2248 01:16:37,110 --> 01:16:35,199 just it's flying away you get this plane 2249 01:16:39,910 --> 01:16:37,120 that's that's flying away 2250 01:16:41,669 --> 01:16:39,920 you know on below the horizon 2251 01:16:43,750 --> 01:16:41,679 and so that's what you're seeing like 2252 01:16:45,990 --> 01:16:43,760 it's like going down like this you know 2253 01:16:49,189 --> 01:16:46,000 got it um that's that's spacey's main 2254 01:16:50,390 --> 01:16:49,199 argument um but the problem is at the 2255 01:16:52,630 --> 01:16:50,400 beginning if you go back to that 2256 01:16:55,590 --> 01:16:52,640 beginning section 2257 01:16:57,030 --> 01:16:55,600 uh when it's tracking right you can see 2258 01:16:58,390 --> 01:16:57,040 on the bottom screen if you go back to 2259 01:17:00,550 --> 01:16:58,400 the very beginning 2260 01:17:02,390 --> 01:17:00,560 the time 2261 01:17:03,590 --> 01:17:02,400 if you look at the azimuth on the bottom 2262 01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:03,600 bottom yeah it should be right at the 2263 01:17:08,149 --> 01:17:05,760 beginning at the bottom it says azimuth 2264 01:17:09,830 --> 01:17:08,159 and it says 15. 2265 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:09,840 do you read it uh 2266 01:17:12,950 --> 01:17:10,960 right now 2267 01:17:15,430 --> 01:17:12,960 i i can't read it on here nathan might 2268 01:17:17,590 --> 01:17:15,440 be able to but i'm trying hold on the 2269 01:17:19,510 --> 01:17:17,600 representation like our representation 2270 01:17:21,510 --> 01:17:19,520 isn't clear enough because you use this 2271 01:17:24,470 --> 01:17:21,520 system right you know the system dj 2272 01:17:28,149 --> 01:17:24,480 right is it mx13 or no the one the 2273 01:17:29,350 --> 01:17:28,159 aguadilla one i used uh okay yeah okay 2274 01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:29,360 which number would i be looking at the 2275 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:30,960 bottom left or the 2276 01:17:34,709 --> 01:17:33,600 yeah uh so right in the center if you go 2277 01:17:35,910 --> 01:17:34,719 down 2278 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:35,920 if you can maybe follow along with your 2279 01:17:39,270 --> 01:17:38,159 mouse i can track you down it says 15. 2280 01:17:41,590 --> 01:17:39,280 okay yeah 2281 01:17:43,030 --> 01:17:41,600 yeah oh so that is that's azimuth right 2282 01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:43,040 so that's how it's looking left and 2283 01:17:48,229 --> 01:17:44,800 right and then right next to it is 2284 01:17:49,990 --> 01:17:48,239 elevation el and that's up and down um 2285 01:17:51,669 --> 01:17:50,000 but i i tried to use that for my 2286 01:17:53,270 --> 01:17:51,679 original video when i was analyzing this 2287 01:17:54,630 --> 01:17:53,280 but i think it's it's not accurate 2288 01:17:56,390 --> 01:17:54,640 enough because i think the ship is like 2289 01:17:57,510 --> 01:17:56,400 listing 2290 01:17:59,430 --> 01:17:57,520 it's not 2291 01:18:00,950 --> 01:17:59,440 a line but the azimuth does look 2292 01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:00,960 accurate to me 2293 01:18:04,950 --> 01:18:03,840 um so if you measure the angles and i 2294 01:18:05,910 --> 01:18:04,960 did 2295 01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:05,920 um 2296 01:18:11,750 --> 01:18:08,880 from time 0 0 when it's at 15 degrees 2297 01:18:15,030 --> 01:18:11,760 there so if you go forward 25 seconds if 2298 01:18:16,709 --> 01:18:15,040 you just hit play here we can watch it 2299 01:18:18,149 --> 01:18:16,719 and you'll see as he tracks to the right 2300 01:18:19,669 --> 01:18:18,159 right so he had to move to the right 2301 01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:19,679 he's having to move to the right and 2302 01:18:23,430 --> 01:18:21,360 when he moves the screen when he moves 2303 01:18:24,830 --> 01:18:23,440 the actual image you'll see the azimuth 2304 01:18:28,070 --> 01:18:24,840 go to the right 2305 01:18:31,510 --> 01:18:28,080 right um so basically 2306 01:18:36,390 --> 01:18:31,520 yeah so in 25 seconds okay he's 2307 01:18:38,630 --> 01:18:36,400 the camera has to move uh 25 degrees 2308 01:18:40,950 --> 01:18:38,640 does that make sense yeah 2309 01:18:43,110 --> 01:18:40,960 yep so it moves 25 degrees in 20 seconds 2310 01:18:45,030 --> 01:18:43,120 and so i did like some math 2311 01:18:47,270 --> 01:18:45,040 it's like the normal mil radian math i 2312 01:18:50,790 --> 01:18:47,280 do i've done in the past 2313 01:18:52,709 --> 01:18:50,800 so you can read this so 25 degrees 2314 01:18:55,189 --> 01:18:52,719 right and then if you if you use mil 2315 01:18:57,669 --> 01:18:55,199 radian math i figured out at three miles 2316 01:18:59,590 --> 01:18:57,679 how far did he go 2317 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:59,600 right and then i'll do six miles and 2318 01:19:03,030 --> 01:19:01,199 then 10 miles oh yeah let's see if you 2319 01:19:05,110 --> 01:19:03,040 can bring it up yeah hold on what's it 2320 01:19:07,270 --> 01:19:05,120 going to take it off real quick 2321 01:19:10,070 --> 01:19:07,280 yeah all right 2322 01:19:11,910 --> 01:19:10,080 yeah can you read that yeah hold on i'm 2323 01:19:13,910 --> 01:19:11,920 gonna get you 2324 01:19:15,669 --> 01:19:13,920 there we go yep there you go okay so 2325 01:19:16,950 --> 01:19:15,679 spherical shape ufo right there's your 2326 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:16,960 time 2327 01:19:23,830 --> 01:19:19,280 so it travels uh 2328 01:19:25,910 --> 01:19:23,840 25 degrees in 20 25 seconds so 2329 01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:25,920 sorry it's backwards so that's 25 2330 01:19:29,510 --> 01:19:27,520 degrees off the nose of this basically 2331 01:19:32,470 --> 01:19:29,520 up the nose of the ship it tracks right 2332 01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:32,480 yep so i calculated how far it would 2333 01:19:36,550 --> 01:19:34,719 have traveled if it was three miles away 2334 01:19:39,350 --> 01:19:36,560 if it was six miles away 2335 01:19:40,310 --> 01:19:39,360 and if it was 10 miles away 2336 01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:40,320 right 2337 01:19:45,189 --> 01:19:42,400 yep so you can show them out there if it 2338 01:19:47,110 --> 01:19:45,199 was three miles away at the top 2339 01:19:50,550 --> 01:19:47,120 then basically you can 2340 01:19:53,990 --> 01:19:50,560 it would be going 0.3 2341 01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:54,000 okay so around 250 miles an hour 2342 01:19:58,709 --> 01:19:56,159 now if it's six miles away 2343 01:20:00,310 --> 01:19:58,719 it's going around point six two mark 2344 01:20:02,870 --> 01:20:00,320 okay 2345 01:20:04,550 --> 01:20:02,880 and if it's ten miles away it's going 2346 01:20:06,709 --> 01:20:04,560 past the speed of sound like we talked 2347 01:20:07,990 --> 01:20:06,719 about supersonic okay 2348 01:20:10,310 --> 01:20:08,000 um 2349 01:20:12,550 --> 01:20:10,320 so it's kind of the same issue that mick 2350 01:20:14,950 --> 01:20:12,560 west ended up with in in the gimbal in 2351 01:20:16,709 --> 01:20:14,960 the gimbal argument is 2352 01:20:17,750 --> 01:20:16,719 it can't be a distant plane over the 2353 01:20:20,950 --> 01:20:17,760 horizon 2354 01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:20,960 unless it's going well over super sonic 2355 01:20:25,110 --> 01:20:23,360 uh because the and that's what he what 2356 01:20:26,709 --> 01:20:25,120 he'll do right or i i've seen a lot of 2357 01:20:27,510 --> 01:20:26,719 debunkers do it is they'll just pick one 2358 01:20:30,950 --> 01:20:27,520 little 2359 01:20:33,270 --> 01:20:30,960 this doesn't work 2360 01:20:34,709 --> 01:20:33,280 but their argument's incongruent because 2361 01:20:36,950 --> 01:20:34,719 at the beginning of the video like i 2362 01:20:39,189 --> 01:20:36,960 just showed it's tracking 2363 01:20:40,790 --> 01:20:39,199 so yeah if it's a jet in the distance 2364 01:20:42,790 --> 01:20:40,800 it's going well over supersonic and 2365 01:20:44,310 --> 01:20:42,800 that's just if it 10 miles away and we i 2366 01:20:45,750 --> 01:20:44,320 mean this thing if it's 10 miles away 2367 01:20:48,629 --> 01:20:45,760 you should be able to see what it is i 2368 01:20:51,990 --> 01:20:50,070 apologies if i'm asking a dumb question 2369 01:20:53,189 --> 01:20:52,000 but if it were that jet right and it 2370 01:20:55,350 --> 01:20:53,199 were 2371 01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:55,360 moving at the degree change that you at 2372 01:20:58,070 --> 01:20:56,400 the azimuth change that you've 2373 01:21:00,790 --> 01:20:58,080 referenced wouldn't we 2374 01:21:02,310 --> 01:21:00,800 see some sort of profile of this object 2375 01:21:03,990 --> 01:21:02,320 like not just the 2376 01:21:05,510 --> 01:21:04,000 down the tailpipe 2377 01:21:10,310 --> 01:21:05,520 yeah well i guess his argument is that 2378 01:21:12,550 --> 01:21:10,320 it could be a just a point source 2379 01:21:14,390 --> 01:21:12,560 a heat point source or or it's out of 2380 01:21:16,149 --> 01:21:14,400 focus or something 2381 01:21:18,149 --> 01:21:16,159 i don't it doesn't make sense 2382 01:21:20,070 --> 01:21:18,159 at all really um 2383 01:21:21,430 --> 01:21:20,080 but yes if it was 10 miles away if it 2384 01:21:22,870 --> 01:21:21,440 was a plane 2385 01:21:24,709 --> 01:21:22,880 uh we should be able to see it should 2386 01:21:26,149 --> 01:21:24,719 look like more like a plane more like a 2387 01:21:28,550 --> 01:21:26,159 couple lightning should see yeah if it's 2388 01:21:29,430 --> 01:21:28,560 traveling this way you know at 2389 01:21:31,750 --> 01:21:29,440 uh 2390 01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:31,760 500 miles an hour we should see heat 2391 01:21:36,310 --> 01:21:34,400 shooting out this way you know right it 2392 01:21:39,110 --> 01:21:36,320 shouldn't just look like this 2393 01:21:42,629 --> 01:21:39,120 this consistent ball of of heat energy 2394 01:21:44,709 --> 01:21:42,639 just very strange to me um yeah so i'd 2395 01:21:47,910 --> 01:21:44,719 it's just more mick 2396 01:21:51,189 --> 01:21:47,920 clownery where he is trying to debunk 2397 01:21:53,030 --> 01:21:51,199 navy videos and since he can't attack 2398 01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:53,040 the totality of it he'll try to find 2399 01:21:56,550 --> 01:21:54,080 something instead of just saying you 2400 01:21:58,790 --> 01:21:56,560 know what i don't know what it is and 2401 01:22:00,790 --> 01:21:58,800 that's good enough you know because we 2402 01:22:03,110 --> 01:22:00,800 don't know what it is but instead he's 2403 01:22:05,750 --> 01:22:03,120 trying to say it's not this 2404 01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:05,760 so that he can support his brand his 2405 01:22:10,790 --> 01:22:09,040 book his website and he's not even 2406 01:22:12,470 --> 01:22:10,800 approaching it from a position of hey 2407 01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:12,480 let's try to figure out what this thing 2408 01:22:17,030 --> 01:22:14,639 is where it is in space and what it's 2409 01:22:19,910 --> 01:22:17,040 doing so that we could try to analyze 2410 01:22:22,550 --> 01:22:19,920 what it might be instead he's starting 2411 01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:22,560 from a position of it's not and this is 2412 01:22:26,629 --> 01:22:24,480 why and i'm just going to take that one 2413 01:22:28,390 --> 01:22:26,639 little sliver of the cheesecake out say 2414 01:22:29,750 --> 01:22:28,400 that it is yeah 2415 01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:29,760 yeah but it doesn't work right because 2416 01:22:35,990 --> 01:22:31,760 he says it's 2417 01:22:37,350 --> 01:22:36,000 it might it's obviously a plain range 2418 01:22:39,189 --> 01:22:37,360 you know it is clever right when you 2419 01:22:40,310 --> 01:22:39,199 look at the light if they have a 2420 01:22:42,950 --> 01:22:40,320 flashlight i don't have a flashlight 2421 01:22:45,510 --> 01:22:42,960 hanging but if you do a flashlight 2422 01:22:47,430 --> 01:22:45,520 you know below it it does actually 2423 01:22:48,629 --> 01:22:47,440 it does look like it okay so they're 2424 01:22:50,470 --> 01:22:48,639 they're clever 2425 01:22:52,149 --> 01:22:50,480 his argument makes sense in that 2426 01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:52,159 specific little point right but he 2427 01:22:54,709 --> 01:22:53,520 doesn't apply the argument over here 2428 01:22:56,629 --> 01:22:54,719 because his argument doesn't make sense 2429 01:22:59,350 --> 01:22:56,639 over here yeah right if it wasn't if it 2430 01:23:01,270 --> 01:22:59,360 was a plane at range it can't be going 2431 01:23:02,229 --> 01:23:01,280 well over supersonic that's at 10 miles 2432 01:23:03,990 --> 01:23:02,239 right so 2433 01:23:05,830 --> 01:23:04,000 you know it it went 2434 01:23:07,270 --> 01:23:05,840 it's basically this the distance it is 2435 01:23:09,350 --> 01:23:07,280 so if it's 20 miles away it's going to 2436 01:23:10,310 --> 01:23:09,360 be going mach 2. 2437 01:23:12,070 --> 01:23:10,320 so 2438 01:23:14,390 --> 01:23:12,080 you know most things can't go mach 2 at 2439 01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:14,400 that at low altitude 2440 01:23:16,950 --> 01:23:15,840 and you know it's not that far away the 2441 01:23:18,229 --> 01:23:16,960 curve of the earth is going to make some 2442 01:23:20,310 --> 01:23:18,239 big difference so 2443 01:23:21,430 --> 01:23:20,320 you know you can't go mach 2 it at a 2444 01:23:23,030 --> 01:23:21,440 thousand feet above the ground there's 2445 01:23:25,189 --> 01:23:23,040 just i don't know many planes that can 2446 01:23:28,070 --> 01:23:25,199 even do that um 2447 01:23:30,470 --> 01:23:28,080 yeah so yeah it's it's just uh it's not 2448 01:23:32,550 --> 01:23:30,480 an honest analysis of of what we're 2449 01:23:34,709 --> 01:23:32,560 looking at it's an analysis to try to 2450 01:23:36,790 --> 01:23:34,719 draw the conclusion that he wants it to 2451 01:23:40,310 --> 01:23:36,800 be instead the rest of us are like i 2452 01:23:43,030 --> 01:23:41,830 any other any other partying thoughts on 2453 01:23:45,350 --> 01:23:43,040 this one troy before we go to the next 2454 01:23:47,110 --> 01:23:45,360 one chris how would the math change if 2455 01:23:48,870 --> 01:23:47,120 the like do we know if the ship is 2456 01:23:50,709 --> 01:23:48,880 stationary or could it be moving in the 2457 01:23:52,950 --> 01:23:50,719 opposite direction at 2458 01:23:55,510 --> 01:23:52,960 15 knots and how would that change math 2459 01:23:57,510 --> 01:23:55,520 yeah it could but but um but that 2460 01:24:00,310 --> 01:23:57,520 doesn't change the angles right 2461 01:24:03,990 --> 01:24:00,320 you know if it's far away 2462 01:24:05,430 --> 01:24:04,000 uh it it it it would just mean that it's 2463 01:24:07,030 --> 01:24:05,440 closer 2464 01:24:08,950 --> 01:24:07,040 right because my camera's got to move a 2465 01:24:10,790 --> 01:24:08,960 little bit quicker to the right if i'm 2466 01:24:13,430 --> 01:24:10,800 going in the opposition oh no if he's 2467 01:24:15,270 --> 01:24:13,440 sailing in the same direction right then 2468 01:24:17,350 --> 01:24:15,280 and then do we not have a range on this 2469 01:24:19,350 --> 01:24:17,360 object like uh is that just a camera not 2470 01:24:21,910 --> 01:24:19,360 a radar right so we really don't know 2471 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:21,920 how far that is you know that uh well on 2472 01:24:26,310 --> 01:24:23,360 this one there's no 2473 01:24:28,790 --> 01:24:26,320 there's no range from the laser 2474 01:24:30,709 --> 01:24:28,800 so there's no laser range finding 2475 01:24:32,070 --> 01:24:30,719 i believe they don't get any returns so 2476 01:24:34,629 --> 01:24:32,080 they're i think they're they're hitting 2477 01:24:36,390 --> 01:24:34,639 lasers at it and so so it's capable 2478 01:24:39,830 --> 01:24:36,400 so this camera is capable of giving you 2479 01:24:43,510 --> 01:24:39,840 a range it just isn't in this scenario 2480 01:24:45,110 --> 01:24:43,520 lrf armed no return okay so i i'm pretty 2481 01:24:46,470 --> 01:24:45,120 sure they fired at this thing with their 2482 01:24:48,709 --> 01:24:46,480 laser 2483 01:24:51,110 --> 01:24:48,719 and they get nothing back um but yet he 2484 01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:51,120 said mark bearing in range so perhaps he 2485 01:24:55,030 --> 01:24:53,120 knows what it is but the data wasn't 2486 01:24:56,830 --> 01:24:55,040 displayed or given to us was that on the 2487 01:24:59,669 --> 01:24:56,840 splash though or on the object 2488 01:25:01,990 --> 01:24:59,679 oh splash maybe that's just a common 2489 01:25:03,590 --> 01:25:02,000 phrase to use to say hey write down the 2490 01:25:06,950 --> 01:25:03,600 details 2491 01:25:10,709 --> 01:25:09,189 write something down yeah 2492 01:25:12,229 --> 01:25:10,719 nathan if you would bring up that 2493 01:25:13,669 --> 01:25:12,239 pyramid one thing because i just can't 2494 01:25:15,030 --> 01:25:13,679 get enough of seeing that thing if you 2495 01:25:16,390 --> 01:25:15,040 can okay 2496 01:25:18,149 --> 01:25:16,400 real quick i mean we don't have to spend 2497 01:25:19,510 --> 01:25:18,159 a lot of time on it but i love looking 2498 01:25:20,310 --> 01:25:19,520 at this thing because it just blows me 2499 01:25:22,550 --> 01:25:20,320 away 2500 01:25:25,270 --> 01:25:22,560 but and so troy i think this is one of 2501 01:25:27,830 --> 01:25:25,280 the best you know ir videos we have of 2502 01:25:30,310 --> 01:25:27,840 the sphere and then the pyramid one that 2503 01:25:31,669 --> 01:25:30,320 dj's talking about was the same 2504 01:25:32,790 --> 01:25:31,679 uh the same 2505 01:25:34,229 --> 01:25:32,800 time frame 2506 01:25:36,070 --> 01:25:34,239 same event i think it was a different 2507 01:25:37,590 --> 01:25:36,080 day or actually it may have been that 2508 01:25:39,270 --> 01:25:37,600 night actually i think it was different 2509 01:25:41,030 --> 01:25:39,280 craft though remember because one of 2510 01:25:43,189 --> 01:25:41,040 them i think this is the omaha and the 2511 01:25:44,790 --> 01:25:43,199 other one is the uss russell there it is 2512 01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:44,800 yeah that's awesome yeah but they're all 2513 01:25:49,669 --> 01:25:47,760 together they're on the same uh group 2514 01:25:52,149 --> 01:25:49,679 there was a viper group that basically 2515 01:26:00,149 --> 01:25:52,159 um oh the viper team 2516 01:26:03,990 --> 01:26:01,669 that's right this is yeah 2517 01:26:05,750 --> 01:26:04,000 yeah if you can find a different version 2518 01:26:09,890 --> 01:26:05,760 the one that shows the whole 2519 01:26:09,900 --> 01:26:17,189 [Laughter] 2520 01:26:20,550 --> 01:26:18,950 that one really blows my mind that 2521 01:26:23,510 --> 01:26:20,560 pyramid one it should have been on 2522 01:26:24,950 --> 01:26:23,520 jeremy's or yeah george's website sorry 2523 01:26:28,390 --> 01:26:24,960 i just didn't have it ready so that's 2524 01:26:32,149 --> 01:26:30,550 they have one 2525 01:26:33,510 --> 01:26:32,159 right there the one that has jeremy 2526 01:26:35,510 --> 01:26:33,520 corbell's logo on it i don't know if 2527 01:26:37,110 --> 01:26:35,520 that'll be it but anyway 2528 01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:37,120 i was just curious what you guys think 2529 01:26:42,709 --> 01:26:38,560 of that what is your thoughts on that 2530 01:26:47,350 --> 01:26:45,990 my own just assessment um 2531 01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:47,360 is that that 2532 01:26:50,310 --> 01:26:48,800 the light 2533 01:26:51,750 --> 01:26:50,320 that's that they're emanating whatever 2534 01:26:53,590 --> 01:26:51,760 these objects are 2535 01:26:55,110 --> 01:26:53,600 is just so weird 2536 01:26:57,270 --> 01:26:55,120 that it's causing these kind of weird 2537 01:26:58,550 --> 01:26:57,280 effects inside of the night vision 2538 01:27:00,070 --> 01:26:58,560 devices 2539 01:27:03,189 --> 01:27:00,080 but that's what i think it's showing up 2540 01:27:04,870 --> 01:27:03,199 as this weird triangle shape 2541 01:27:08,470 --> 01:27:04,880 uh the only the reason i say that is 2542 01:27:10,790 --> 01:27:08,480 just because they were they were um 2543 01:27:12,709 --> 01:27:10,800 it's too convenient that all of the 2544 01:27:14,790 --> 01:27:12,719 angles line up the same right if you 2545 01:27:15,669 --> 01:27:14,800 measure the angle of that triangle right 2546 01:27:17,430 --> 01:27:15,679 there 2547 01:27:19,510 --> 01:27:17,440 and you measure it uh 2548 01:27:23,110 --> 01:27:19,520 it it's basically the orientation 2549 01:27:27,830 --> 01:27:25,350 as the other ones does that make sense 2550 01:27:30,149 --> 01:27:27,840 it seems like it's inside the it 2551 01:27:31,910 --> 01:27:30,159 the bokeh the bokeh or bokeh effect 2552 01:27:33,510 --> 01:27:31,920 however you say it no 2553 01:27:35,350 --> 01:27:33,520 it appears like 2554 01:27:37,590 --> 01:27:35,360 it's just so coincidental that they're 2555 01:27:39,110 --> 01:27:37,600 all lined up at the same angle right so 2556 01:27:41,669 --> 01:27:39,120 that's why to me it seems like there's 2557 01:27:43,910 --> 01:27:41,679 some effect i guess it could be triangle 2558 01:27:45,669 --> 01:27:43,920 or pyramid shape craft happen to all be 2559 01:27:47,750 --> 01:27:45,679 in the same angle 2560 01:27:50,790 --> 01:27:47,760 but i think yeah more likely is that 2561 01:27:53,669 --> 01:27:50,800 it's those those circle balls 2562 01:27:55,430 --> 01:27:53,679 but the light is just so weird that it's 2563 01:27:57,430 --> 01:27:55,440 and non-compatible that it's causing 2564 01:27:59,110 --> 01:27:57,440 some weird effects on the microphone so 2565 01:28:01,189 --> 01:27:59,120 is this somebody is this somebody on the 2566 01:28:04,310 --> 01:28:01,199 ground filming this this is a navy ship 2567 01:28:06,550 --> 01:28:04,320 cockpit okay this this is the uss 2568 01:28:08,950 --> 01:28:06,560 russell and they're using it if i you 2569 01:28:10,550 --> 01:28:08,960 guys can correct me chris or nathan it's 2570 01:28:12,149 --> 01:28:10,560 an on-deck 2571 01:28:13,830 --> 01:28:12,159 uh night vision device that they're 2572 01:28:17,110 --> 01:28:13,840 looking through and it's filmed by a 2573 01:28:19,189 --> 01:28:17,120 navy pilot from what i understand troy 2574 01:28:20,709 --> 01:28:19,199 so i think he's just one of the pilots i 2575 01:28:21,669 --> 01:28:20,719 don't know if he's a helicopter or a 2576 01:28:23,590 --> 01:28:21,679 fighter pilot 2577 01:28:25,189 --> 01:28:23,600 what did this object do did it 2578 01:28:27,910 --> 01:28:25,199 did it just kind of suspend there or did 2579 01:28:29,510 --> 01:28:27,920 it like leave at some point or is it or 2580 01:28:31,110 --> 01:28:29,520 is it going like left to right it's just 2581 01:28:32,950 --> 01:28:31,120 hard to tell because the angle of the 2582 01:28:35,110 --> 01:28:32,960 camera 2583 01:28:37,030 --> 01:28:35,120 uh on this you know i actually found i 2584 01:28:39,270 --> 01:28:37,040 actually thought that they were um just 2585 01:28:42,149 --> 01:28:39,280 sitting there kind of motionless 2586 01:28:43,669 --> 01:28:42,159 but they said george knapp um and jeremy 2587 01:28:46,310 --> 01:28:43,679 corbell they said that these were 2588 01:28:49,430 --> 01:28:46,320 actually following the ship so basically 2589 01:28:51,350 --> 01:28:49,440 going along next to the ship okay 2590 01:28:53,270 --> 01:28:51,360 uh and then going into the water with 2591 01:28:55,189 --> 01:28:53,280 them so mirroring them and there was 2592 01:28:56,870 --> 01:28:55,199 multiples of them basically they said 2593 01:28:58,470 --> 01:28:56,880 that there there seemed to be like one 2594 01:29:01,110 --> 01:28:58,480 that was up high and it would be kind of 2595 01:29:02,550 --> 01:29:01,120 like flashing this weird flash pattern 2596 01:29:05,030 --> 01:29:02,560 and then the other two would be like 2597 01:29:07,669 --> 01:29:05,040 just hanging out not flashing 2598 01:29:09,030 --> 01:29:07,679 and and once again troy the navy is 2599 01:29:11,830 --> 01:29:09,040 they're choosing 2600 01:29:13,350 --> 01:29:11,840 and under george knapp is a peabody 2601 01:29:16,310 --> 01:29:13,360 award-winning journalist he's been 2602 01:29:17,910 --> 01:29:16,320 following the ufo topic for many years 2603 01:29:20,310 --> 01:29:17,920 and he has an underling who's a 2604 01:29:22,470 --> 01:29:20,320 filmmaker named jeremy corbell and for 2605 01:29:25,030 --> 01:29:22,480 some reason they have chosen to give 2606 01:29:26,070 --> 01:29:25,040 these videos exclusively to jeremy 2607 01:29:28,470 --> 01:29:26,080 corbell 2608 01:29:29,990 --> 01:29:28,480 and i don't know why but i'm sure it's 2609 01:29:31,669 --> 01:29:30,000 coming with with 2610 01:29:34,070 --> 01:29:31,679 somebody on that ship is approving the 2611 01:29:35,350 --> 01:29:34,080 release of this video because if not i 2612 01:29:37,030 --> 01:29:35,360 mean they would it wouldn't take him 2613 01:29:39,430 --> 01:29:37,040 very long to figure out who gave it to 2614 01:29:43,910 --> 01:29:39,440 him yeah 2615 01:29:47,430 --> 01:29:45,430 uh is this to me i don't know i can't 2616 01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:47,440 see either both of you both of you i 2617 01:29:51,030 --> 01:29:49,760 can't see you nathan 2618 01:29:53,510 --> 01:29:51,040 both of you 2619 01:29:55,510 --> 01:29:53,520 i think jeremy they just 2620 01:29:56,629 --> 01:29:55,520 it was the viper team right so a viper 2621 01:29:59,830 --> 01:29:56,639 team 2622 01:30:02,629 --> 01:29:59,840 essentially you know they're like it's 2623 01:30:05,430 --> 01:30:02,639 like a tiger team for information 2624 01:30:07,910 --> 01:30:05,440 um and so basically they were 2625 01:30:09,750 --> 01:30:07,920 they were filming inside the cic you 2626 01:30:12,790 --> 01:30:09,760 know i think it was basically 2627 01:30:14,149 --> 01:30:12,800 uh personnel from off the ship 2628 01:30:16,149 --> 01:30:14,159 came onto the ship 2629 01:30:18,149 --> 01:30:16,159 that's my understanding what i'm saying 2630 01:30:20,870 --> 01:30:18,159 is if the video was given to jeremy 2631 01:30:22,629 --> 01:30:20,880 somebody okayed that it didn't no one 2632 01:30:24,709 --> 01:30:22,639 just said oh i'm going to take my 2633 01:30:26,790 --> 01:30:24,719 private oh you mean like 2634 01:30:29,830 --> 01:30:26,800 the provenance of the video and you know 2635 01:30:33,430 --> 01:30:29,840 yeah like it was proven up higher to be 2636 01:30:35,510 --> 01:30:33,440 leaked yes it was authorized for release 2637 01:30:37,430 --> 01:30:35,520 i'm not saying the word leak 2638 01:30:39,270 --> 01:30:37,440 because that that 2639 01:30:41,910 --> 01:30:39,280 that means not authorized 2640 01:30:43,510 --> 01:30:41,920 right that that they authorized it to be 2641 01:30:44,950 --> 01:30:43,520 released to him for whatever their 2642 01:30:46,790 --> 01:30:44,960 reasons are i have no idea what those 2643 01:30:49,430 --> 01:30:46,800 reasons are 2644 01:30:51,590 --> 01:30:49,440 i don't know i i mean my impression is 2645 01:30:53,669 --> 01:30:51,600 that um 2646 01:30:56,149 --> 01:30:53,679 no they just uh he got the information 2647 01:30:58,310 --> 01:30:56,159 and it was unclassified 2648 01:31:00,070 --> 01:30:58,320 that's so that was my impression but 2649 01:31:01,350 --> 01:31:00,080 yeah it's interesting all right let's 2650 01:31:03,110 --> 01:31:01,360 look at one more i know we had a couple 2651 01:31:06,950 --> 01:31:03,120 others let me do one more 2652 01:31:10,550 --> 01:31:09,030 he's gotten two or three videos i i 2653 01:31:12,310 --> 01:31:10,560 can't believe that's a coincidence that 2654 01:31:13,830 --> 01:31:12,320 nobody's in trouble 2655 01:31:16,070 --> 01:31:13,840 oh yeah 2656 01:31:17,270 --> 01:31:16,080 i don't know i mean like like that 2657 01:31:18,870 --> 01:31:17,280 compared to the other ones where they're 2658 01:31:20,790 --> 01:31:18,880 they're moving 2659 01:31:24,470 --> 01:31:20,800 abnormally this one seems to be sitting 2660 01:31:26,390 --> 01:31:24,480 there like how i would put a drone over 2661 01:31:27,669 --> 01:31:26,400 over a city or 2662 01:31:29,270 --> 01:31:27,679 uh 2663 01:31:30,950 --> 01:31:29,280 and you know sometimes we think too i 2664 01:31:32,790 --> 01:31:30,960 think the general public like oh wow 2665 01:31:34,790 --> 01:31:32,800 you're in the air force then you know a 2666 01:31:36,550 --> 01:31:34,800 lot more 2667 01:31:38,550 --> 01:31:36,560 to a civilian than you actually know 2668 01:31:40,229 --> 01:31:38,560 right it's like uh yeah i had maybe a 2669 01:31:42,830 --> 01:31:40,239 top secret clearance but i still know 2670 01:31:45,830 --> 01:31:42,840 anything like i'm not 2671 01:31:47,590 --> 01:31:45,840 like could that be uh could that be an 2672 01:31:49,189 --> 01:31:47,600 iranian drone i don't know where they're 2673 01:31:50,790 --> 01:31:49,199 at where they're at that that's that's 2674 01:31:52,070 --> 01:31:50,800 not what would it be i'm 2675 01:31:53,669 --> 01:31:52,080 that's not the question that i'm at 2676 01:31:54,950 --> 01:31:53,679 would there be consequences basically 2677 01:31:58,229 --> 01:31:54,960 right that's true 2678 01:32:01,990 --> 01:31:58,239 no i'm saying if if that video left that 2679 01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:02,000 ship and got to a dropbox or an email 2680 01:32:07,910 --> 01:32:05,280 jeremy corbell somebody okayed that they 2681 01:32:10,229 --> 01:32:07,920 didn't just email it to jeremy corbell 2682 01:32:12,149 --> 01:32:10,239 or send it to his dropbox that's what 2683 01:32:15,910 --> 01:32:12,159 i'm saying they may have different navy 2684 01:32:19,350 --> 01:32:17,590 yeah but the same viper team i don't 2685 01:32:20,950 --> 01:32:19,360 know my impression is there's just one 2686 01:32:22,470 --> 01:32:20,960 guy who was on that viper team that gave 2687 01:32:24,149 --> 01:32:22,480 all the information but 2688 01:32:25,910 --> 01:32:24,159 that's just a guess honestly i'm not i'm 2689 01:32:27,669 --> 01:32:25,920 not even saying that's not true i'm not 2690 01:32:30,709 --> 01:32:27,679 at disputing that point i'm saying 2691 01:32:32,229 --> 01:32:30,719 somebody okayed that up up up top 2692 01:32:34,070 --> 01:32:32,239 i doubt it man 2693 01:32:36,790 --> 01:32:34,080 i don't know i've got i've got video 2694 01:32:38,790 --> 01:32:36,800 that i probably shouldn't have 2695 01:32:42,790 --> 01:32:38,800 i'll do you oh okay well flying around 2696 01:32:46,790 --> 01:32:44,149 i didn't ask uh 2697 01:32:49,270 --> 01:32:46,800 cat5 if i could you know 2698 01:32:50,790 --> 01:32:49,280 keep this video or whatever right so 2699 01:32:52,470 --> 01:32:50,800 maybe not i mean if the pilot's got a 2700 01:32:53,750 --> 01:32:52,480 set of mvgs and he filmed it on his 2701 01:32:54,950 --> 01:32:53,760 personal 2702 01:32:56,550 --> 01:32:54,960 whatever 2703 01:32:58,950 --> 01:32:56,560 maybe not you can't even you can't have 2704 01:33:01,189 --> 01:32:58,960 a cell phone inside the cic i mean 2705 01:33:02,390 --> 01:33:01,199 that'd be like taking it in the jock 2706 01:33:04,229 --> 01:33:02,400 i know that that's not that's nice i 2707 01:33:06,390 --> 01:33:04,239 thought there's a shot out on a navy 2708 01:33:09,350 --> 01:33:06,400 ship i thought it was fun 2709 01:33:11,270 --> 01:33:09,360 yeah no no this is from up and dec uh dj 2710 01:33:13,189 --> 01:33:11,280 which one but i'm saying they're all 2711 01:33:14,870 --> 01:33:13,199 being given to him it's not a 2712 01:33:17,270 --> 01:33:14,880 coincidence what i'm saying is 2713 01:33:18,790 --> 01:33:17,280 somebody's allowing that that video came 2714 01:33:20,709 --> 01:33:18,800 off of the cic 2715 01:33:23,350 --> 01:33:20,719 someone uh authorized that it wasn't the 2716 01:33:25,750 --> 01:33:23,360 cic well the first one i mean it's 2717 01:33:27,510 --> 01:33:25,760 possible right so i guess it's it's um 2718 01:33:29,110 --> 01:33:27,520 that's you know the cic's down in the 2719 01:33:30,870 --> 01:33:29,120 center of the ship right so that's right 2720 01:33:33,110 --> 01:33:30,880 so the the first one the sphere when we 2721 01:33:34,470 --> 01:33:33,120 looked at was cic the the triangle one 2722 01:33:36,390 --> 01:33:34,480 was dec 2723 01:33:39,030 --> 01:33:36,400 right right correct no no i don't think 2724 01:33:42,149 --> 01:33:39,040 it's cic that you're uh that that sphere 2725 01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:42,159 one that's that's up in the in the deck 2726 01:33:46,470 --> 01:33:44,400 oh yeah that's what i read was whatever 2727 01:33:49,110 --> 01:33:46,480 it was on this cockpit 2728 01:33:51,430 --> 01:33:49,120 oh really i believe so i mean i don't 2729 01:33:52,550 --> 01:33:51,440 think they're filming down in the cic um 2730 01:33:56,310 --> 01:33:52,560 yeah 2731 01:33:58,709 --> 01:33:56,320 filming that was the um 2732 01:34:00,790 --> 01:33:58,719 that's the spinning marine radar it's 2733 01:34:02,470 --> 01:34:00,800 like seeking 2734 01:34:04,390 --> 01:34:02,480 uh and then i think they just had the 2735 01:34:06,229 --> 01:34:04,400 other one like up on the on the screen 2736 01:34:08,550 --> 01:34:06,239 so it's not classified 2737 01:34:11,189 --> 01:34:08,560 like the cic should have all your 2738 01:34:12,950 --> 01:34:11,199 the c giraffe whatever that classified 2739 01:34:15,189 --> 01:34:12,960 system radar is that we'll never see 2740 01:34:17,510 --> 01:34:15,199 right but they have all the information 2741 01:34:19,910 --> 01:34:17,520 you know they should have had like high 2742 01:34:22,149 --> 01:34:19,920 high quality radar track on that thing 2743 01:34:23,189 --> 01:34:22,159 oh yeah not just like this spinny radar 2744 01:34:25,270 --> 01:34:23,199 that we're seeing you know you should 2745 01:34:26,790 --> 01:34:25,280 have weapons quality you know radar 2746 01:34:28,550 --> 01:34:26,800 tracking it 2747 01:34:30,070 --> 01:34:28,560 um so where's all that information you 2748 01:34:32,470 --> 01:34:30,080 know i think if it was really going to 2749 01:34:33,830 --> 01:34:32,480 be approved for release hopefully we 2750 01:34:35,750 --> 01:34:33,840 would get more information than just 2751 01:34:39,030 --> 01:34:35,760 this these kind of crappy 2752 01:34:40,950 --> 01:34:39,040 uh well not crappy but 2753 01:34:43,189 --> 01:34:40,960 let's say short uh 2754 01:34:44,790 --> 01:34:43,199 truncated videos right don't have a lot 2755 01:34:46,390 --> 01:34:44,800 of information 2756 01:34:47,830 --> 01:34:46,400 right more would be better well let's 2757 01:34:53,910 --> 01:34:47,840 look at this last one here then we'll 2758 01:34:57,030 --> 01:34:55,350 there's a whole fleet of look on the 2759 01:35:00,149 --> 01:34:57,040 essay 2760 01:35:01,510 --> 01:35:00,159 oh my gosh 2761 01:35:25,669 --> 01:35:01,520 they're all going against the wind the 2762 01:35:29,910 --> 01:35:26,709 all right 2763 01:35:36,390 --> 01:35:32,310 so what do you what do you hear him say 2764 01:35:45,270 --> 01:35:38,149 no at the beginning when he talks about 2765 01:35:50,390 --> 01:35:47,910 what do you hear him say 2766 01:35:51,590 --> 01:35:50,400 it's uh it's an effing

01:43:16,149 --> 01:43:14,239 i haven't heard any yeah 2973 01:43:18,470 --> 01:43:16,159 well i think it's so easy yeah like you 2974 01:43:21,590 --> 01:43:18,480 said it doesn't apply so 2975 01:43:23,590 --> 01:43:21,600 you just let it go you know or um 2976 01:43:25,910 --> 01:43:23,600 i could just see how i can imagine just 2977 01:43:27,750 --> 01:43:25,920 hundreds of these stories happening but 2978 01:43:29,350 --> 01:43:27,760 just like you said in a bar people are 2979 01:43:30,310 --> 01:43:29,360 talking about it somebody's drunk yeah i 2980 01:43:31,990 --> 01:43:30,320 saw this 2981 01:43:33,830 --> 01:43:32,000 flying saucer thing it was flying next 2982 01:43:35,430 --> 01:43:33,840 to me and then flew off 2983 01:43:38,310 --> 01:43:35,440 and and like just like you said it'd be 2984 01:43:39,669 --> 01:43:38,320 like oh that's crazy you know and then 2985 01:43:41,109 --> 01:43:39,679 everyone just goes on with their lives 2986 01:43:42,629 --> 01:43:41,119 like nothing changes i really think 2987 01:43:43,990 --> 01:43:42,639 that's that's what because it really 2988 01:43:45,669 --> 01:43:44,000 takes somebody to 2989 01:43:47,750 --> 01:43:45,679 to just like raise their hand and be 2990 01:43:48,870 --> 01:43:47,760 like wait hold on you know it's like 2991 01:43:50,390 --> 01:43:48,880 everyone's already left you know 2992 01:43:52,550 --> 01:43:50,400 everyone's ready you know they're going 2993 01:43:54,390 --> 01:43:52,560 to the party but you're like wait hold 2994 01:43:55,270 --> 01:43:54,400 on well yeah and if you haven't captured 2995 01:43:56,870 --> 01:43:55,280 it 2996 01:43:58,790 --> 01:43:56,880 right now now you can't 2997 01:44:00,149 --> 01:43:58,800 kind of prove it or analyze it and now 2998 01:44:02,310 --> 01:44:00,159 we're starting to do that right and is 2999 01:44:04,950 --> 01:44:02,320 there any connection between the amount 3000 01:44:07,270 --> 01:44:04,960 of cameras everybody has in their pocket 3001 01:44:09,830 --> 01:44:07,280 compared to 70 years ago the amount of 3002 01:44:12,229 --> 01:44:09,840 electronic 3003 01:44:14,310 --> 01:44:12,239 just energy we we shoot out there i mean 3004 01:44:16,470 --> 01:44:14,320 does it make sense that we're picking up 3005 01:44:17,990 --> 01:44:16,480 so much more footage than we did 70 3006 01:44:21,270 --> 01:44:18,000 years ago 3007 01:44:23,750 --> 01:44:21,280 i i tend to think maybe yeah 3008 01:44:25,830 --> 01:44:23,760 i also i also said to them troy if you 3009 01:44:28,709 --> 01:44:25,840 look at the eglin range 3010 01:44:31,109 --> 01:44:28,719 there are more systems with sensors 3011 01:44:32,870 --> 01:44:31,119 operating on the eglin range on a 3012 01:44:33,669 --> 01:44:32,880 nightly basis than anywhere else in the 3013 01:44:36,149 --> 01:44:33,679 world 3014 01:44:37,709 --> 01:44:36,159 and i'll challenge anybody you have 3015 01:44:40,550 --> 01:44:37,719 mc-130s 3016 01:44:44,310 --> 01:44:40,560 ac-130s of different types you have 3017 01:44:47,590 --> 01:44:44,320 f-15s you have f-16s you have f-35s you 3018 01:44:50,470 --> 01:44:47,600 have f-22s all operating on one range 3019 01:44:52,950 --> 01:44:50,480 and i haven't heard of one but for some 3020 01:44:54,870 --> 01:44:52,960 reason the nuclear-powered navy ships 3021 01:44:56,629 --> 01:44:54,880 they're interested in 3022 01:44:57,750 --> 01:44:56,639 so what are you trying to say 3023 01:44:59,830 --> 01:44:57,760 i don't know 3024 01:45:03,189 --> 01:44:59,840 i'm saying it's not up there's not a 3025 01:45:05,830 --> 01:45:03,199 yeah the uf the the uap tf report 3026 01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:05,840 indicated there's a collection bias 3027 01:45:09,669 --> 01:45:07,920 that may be because the navy's out there 3028 01:45:11,510 --> 01:45:09,679 with all these sensors and i was like 3029 01:45:12,790 --> 01:45:11,520 well then if that's the case the eglin 3030 01:45:15,189 --> 01:45:12,800 range we should be seeing them every 3031 01:45:17,350 --> 01:45:15,199 night because there's more sensors 3032 01:45:18,870 --> 01:45:17,360 on that range every night than any other 3033 01:45:19,590 --> 01:45:18,880 place on the planet that i could think 3034 01:45:20,950 --> 01:45:19,600 of 3035 01:45:23,430 --> 01:45:20,960 not just sometimes 3036 01:45:25,189 --> 01:45:23,440 like in a 24 hour period but i just 3037 01:45:26,470 --> 01:45:25,199 wonder though too if you're not 3038 01:45:27,590 --> 01:45:26,480 you know 3039 01:45:28,629 --> 01:45:27,600 if you don't have your sensors pointed 3040 01:45:30,229 --> 01:45:28,639 in the right spot you're not going to 3041 01:45:32,550 --> 01:45:30,239 see anything besides what you've seen 3042 01:45:34,709 --> 01:45:32,560 every night for the last 20 years on the 3043 01:45:36,229 --> 01:45:34,719 range right um sure 3044 01:45:38,310 --> 01:45:36,239 maybe something's even come up on it but 3045 01:45:39,910 --> 01:45:38,320 it's just uh 3046 01:45:42,950 --> 01:45:39,920 i didn't even kind of yeah something 3047 01:45:45,750 --> 01:45:42,960 unusual is there but hey my job is to 3048 01:45:46,629 --> 01:45:45,760 run these these widgets and 3049 01:45:48,229 --> 01:45:46,639 you know 3050 01:45:49,669 --> 01:45:48,239 yeah well there's an operating paradigm 3051 01:45:51,830 --> 01:45:49,679 right so like if it doesn't fit within 3052 01:45:53,590 --> 01:45:51,840 that paradigm it's just it's just noise 3053 01:45:55,350 --> 01:45:53,600 it's just not easily dismissed right 3054 01:45:58,229 --> 01:45:55,360 exactly yeah that could be there could 3055 01:46:01,189 --> 01:45:58,239 be two so yeah just hope this time we we 3056 01:46:02,470 --> 01:46:01,199 you know we focus down and 3057 01:46:05,030 --> 01:46:02,480 i don't know what's going on why do i 3058 01:46:06,629 --> 01:46:05,040 look like i'm glowing 3059 01:46:08,709 --> 01:46:06,639 you're fading out on me 3060 01:46:10,390 -->
