00:02.747 --> 00:04.997
- This is Rescue Fest 2017.

00:05.023 --> 00:07.222
We've done this every year since 2014,

00:07.222 --> 00:08.989
and it's basically our opportunity to give back

00:08.989 --> 00:11.957
^to community, and basically showcase

00:11.957 --> 00:14.699
^what the 31st Rescue Squadron which is the PJs,

00:14.699 --> 00:17.676
^the 33rd Rescue Squadron which is the helicopters,

00:17.676 --> 00:21.843
^and the HMU, the Helicopter Maintenance Unit, is capable of.

00:22.267 --> 00:24.850
^(lively music)

00:32.719 --> 00:35.886
We have our helicopter static display.

00:35.913 --> 00:39.184
We have a Survival Specialist at each squadron,

00:39.184 --> 00:42.357
and they're doing tactical camouflage paint.

00:42.357 --> 00:43.516
Inside's a climbing wall.

00:43.516 --> 00:45.417
It's an open climb, basically,

00:45.417 --> 00:47.824
it's a competition for all the kids to get to the top.

00:47.824 --> 00:50.431
We have a static display of all the PJ gear,

00:50.431 --> 00:52.833
so we have a couple of PJs who basically

00:52.833 --> 00:54.786
brought out their body armor, their helmets,

00:54.786 --> 00:57.893
and their weapons, and all the kids can pick up the weapons,

00:57.893 --> 00:59.893
take pictures with them.

01:01.351 --> 01:03.198
The crowd favorite today has honestly been the

01:03.198 --> 01:04.905
tactical vehicle rides.

01:04.905 --> 01:06.820
This is just kind of our way to say

01:06.820 --> 01:09.136
"Hey, here's our capabilities, and here's a way

01:09.136 --> 01:12.386
for families to come out and have fun."
