00:04.740 --> 00:06.851
the tempo for reconnaissance missions

00:06.851 --> 00:09.129
on the Dragon Lady is extremely upbeat .

00:09.129 --> 00:11.296
No one knows that better than pilots .

00:11.296 --> 00:13.296
At the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing

00:13.440 --> 00:15.690
today was a personal milestone I

00:15.700 --> 00:17.922
reached under the combat sorties in the

00:17.922 --> 00:20.160
Youtube . Right , let's not forget

00:22.040 --> 00:25.280
we do multiple short tv wise

00:25.280 --> 00:27.710
attachments around the world . Flying

00:27.710 --> 00:30.860
combat and other operational sorties ,

00:32.590 --> 00:35.120
departure have to play . Uh , for me ,

00:35.180 --> 00:38.440
100 combat stories need to is just the

00:38.470 --> 00:42.470
culmination of 3-4 years deploying with

00:42.470 --> 00:45.080
the 99th constant squatting . It's

00:45.080 --> 00:47.730
great to see a guy that's uh , so

00:47.730 --> 00:49.674
dedicated to the mission . Uh , he

00:49.674 --> 00:52.090
comes out here every two months . Uh ,

00:52.100 --> 00:54.810
he flies consistently and he flies well

00:55.090 --> 00:57.220
and it's good to see have role models

00:57.220 --> 01:01.030
like that in the Youtube . There's

01:01.030 --> 01:04.460
10.5 . There's 21 pilots

01:04.940 --> 01:07.107
get pretty run down fatigued . It kind

01:07.107 --> 01:08.884
of wears on you flying for long

01:08.884 --> 01:11.890
duration outside sorties and this is 3

01:11.890 --> 01:14.001
to 4 years of doing this two or three

01:14.001 --> 01:16.170
times a year . So , uh , it's kind of

01:16.170 --> 01:19.710
the end of high Ops tempo for me . So

01:19.720 --> 01:23.140
it was nice to get get this milestone

01:23.140 --> 01:26.000
out of the way before I , before I

01:26.010 --> 01:28.066
stopped deploying for a little while

01:28.066 --> 01:30.010
leaving the bar in the , you are a

01:30.010 --> 01:32.560
little bit higher from southwest Asia .

01:32.650 --> 01:34.450
