00:00.457 --> 00:01.569
- And go!
(toy grinding)

00:01.569 --> 00:03.442
- [Speaker] No matter how old you get,

00:03.442 --> 00:06.045
^some things you just never get tired of,

00:06.045 --> 00:09.579
^like racing remote-controlled trucks for example,

00:09.579 --> 00:13.096
^which is exactly what these military members are doing.

00:13.096 --> 00:14.770
^- So I'm just here with some fellas, you know.

00:14.770 --> 00:17.520
^We're just here to have some fun,

00:17.961 --> 00:19.454
^and play with some RC cars.

00:19.454 --> 00:21.863
I guess we're all NCOs, Airmen, and grown kids

00:21.863 --> 00:23.249
at the same time.

00:23.249 --> 00:24.495
- [Speaker] Members of the Incirlik Community

00:24.495 --> 00:26.574
met up at the base's community center

00:26.574 --> 00:28.524
for an RC truck tournament, enjoying some

00:28.524 --> 00:31.418
friendly competition and discussing their hobbies.

00:31.418 --> 00:35.032
^- I've been into this for about three or four years.

00:35.032 --> 00:36.666
^I've never gotten a race other than . . .

00:36.666 --> 00:38.567
This is my first chance.

00:38.567 --> 00:40.355
It's nice to be able to actually put my hobby

00:40.355 --> 00:43.298
into something and do it with other people as well.

00:43.298 --> 00:44.304
- [Speaker] Despite the long hours

00:44.304 --> 00:47.296
and security restrictions, it's obvious that these airmen

00:47.296 --> 00:50.137
are still finding ways to enjoy themselves.

00:50.137 --> 00:51.338
- You know, I mean yeah we're locked down,

00:51.338 --> 00:53.499
but there's still other things to do.

00:53.499 --> 00:56.006
Have some fun; I mean I know we are.

00:56.006 --> 00:57.222
- [Speaker] Staff Sergeant Johnson is open

00:57.222 --> 00:59.876
to anybody who has questions or wants to learn more

00:59.876 --> 01:02.390
about RC truck racing, which has been a hobby of his

01:02.390 --> 01:03.723
for a long time.

01:04.371 --> 01:07.789
Airman Taylor Harrison, Incirlik Air Base, Turkey.

01:07.789 --> 01:09.679
