00:04.240 --> 00:09.770
Hello

00:09.770 --> 00:11.881
and welcome to around the Air Force .

00:11.881 --> 00:15.110
The C . 17 Globemaster three has served

00:15.110 --> 00:17.443
the US Air Force for nearly two decades ,

00:17.443 --> 00:19.600
but it was only recently purchased by

00:19.600 --> 00:22.140
the Royal Australian air Force . Senior

00:22.140 --> 00:24.360
Airman David Clarke takes us to Hickam

00:24.360 --> 00:26.850
Air Force Base Hawaii and introduces us

00:26.850 --> 00:28.906
to an Australian load master who was

00:28.906 --> 00:30.961
learning the ins and outs of the C .

00:30.961 --> 00:34.820
17 . This preflight safety briefing

00:34.820 --> 00:37.042
may look like any other taking place at

00:37.042 --> 00:38.987
U . S . Air Force bases around the

00:38.987 --> 00:41.153
world , but one of these airmen is not

00:41.153 --> 00:43.153
quite like the others hate Sergeant

00:43.153 --> 00:45.209
David Pyott . He's a load master and

00:45.209 --> 00:47.431
the Royal Australian Air Force and he's

00:47.431 --> 00:49.542
here at Hickam as part of an exchange

00:49.542 --> 00:51.653
program between the US and Australian

00:51.653 --> 00:53.764
Air Forces which states programs such

00:53.764 --> 00:55.910
as this provide uh the airman and

00:55.910 --> 00:58.370
offices the chance to work with C 17

00:58.380 --> 01:00.810
and it's a chance to develop our skill

01:00.810 --> 01:02.500
sets and knowledge about 17 .

01:02.500 --> 01:04.667
Operations sergeant highlights tour at

01:04.667 --> 01:06.850
Hickam ends in three years and for him

01:06.860 --> 01:09.027
that's just the beginning with all the

01:09.027 --> 01:10.749
skills and knowledge that I've

01:10.749 --> 01:12.804
developed here , work with a pack up

01:12.804 --> 01:14.860
and go back to Australia and pass on

01:14.860 --> 01:17.082
those skills and develop my experiences

01:17.082 --> 01:19.082
in C . 17 Globemaster . Not only is

01:19.082 --> 01:21.027
sergeant quiet gaining a wealth of

01:21.027 --> 01:20.950
knowledge and experience from this

01:20.950 --> 01:23.170
exchange . Our two nations will reap

01:23.180 --> 01:25.320
great benefits as well . I think in

01:25.320 --> 01:27.920
terms of the pacific Air force will

01:27.920 --> 01:29.976
pack up and the Royal Australian Air

01:29.976 --> 01:32.220
Force being in close proximity to

01:32.220 --> 01:35.260
countries with regard to mutually being

01:35.260 --> 01:36.927
able to support each other in

01:36.927 --> 01:39.149
humanitarian and military operations in

01:39.149 --> 01:41.316
the region and through this exchange ,

01:41.316 --> 01:43.093
our nations are able to build a

01:43.093 --> 01:45.204
stronger , more interoperable force .
