(soft ambient piano music)

00:05.013 --> 00:07.299
- So a question we get
a lot at crowd line is

00:07.299 --> 00:10.499
how much of the demonstration
that we do that is automated,

00:10.499 --> 00:12.164
or computer controlled.

00:12.164 --> 00:14.723
And it's a fair question
because it's 2018,

00:14.723 --> 00:17.963
and most of our world
is going that direction.

00:17.963 --> 00:20.919
But the reality is none of
it is computer controlled.

00:20.919 --> 00:22.894
(plane engines roar)

00:22.894 --> 00:24.447
So when it comes to automation,

00:24.447 --> 00:27.335
and whether the demo is automated,

00:27.335 --> 00:28.613
it's funny to hear that because

00:28.613 --> 00:31.366
we just know how much work is involved,

00:31.366 --> 00:33.683
behind the scenes, to
put the demo together.

00:33.683 --> 00:34.866
- Looks like I've got good comms.

00:34.866 --> 00:36.288
- Alright, Sir.

00:36.288 --> 00:38.895
- In fact, the flying that
we do is the most hands-on

00:38.895 --> 00:42.169
stick-and-rudder flying that
I've ever done in my career.

00:42.169 --> 00:44.435
So to refute that automated question,

00:44.435 --> 00:45.764
no, none of it is automated.

00:45.764 --> 00:46.764
Far from it.

00:46.764 --> 00:49.038
(soft ambient music)

00:49.038 --> 00:50.264
(plane engines roar)

00:50.264 --> 00:52.960
- When we go to places where
automation is prevalent,

00:52.960 --> 00:55.948
I hope serve as a powerful
reminder that not what machines

00:55.948 --> 00:58.531
can do, but what people can do.

00:59.440 --> 01:04.045
We've been doing this Blue
Angel mission since 1946.

01:04.045 --> 01:08.301
In our 72 year history, it has
always been about the people.

01:08.301 --> 01:10.355
The people that fly the airplanes.

01:10.355 --> 01:12.763
The people that work on the airplanes.

01:12.763 --> 01:15.693
How we're able to take
this Blue Angel product,

01:15.693 --> 01:18.579
and move it from show site to show site.

01:18.579 --> 01:20.372
Different cities each and every week.

01:20.372 --> 01:23.102
Put on a safe and effective
flight demonstration.

01:23.102 --> 01:24.147
It's truly incredible.

01:24.147 --> 01:26.351
But that wouldn't happen
if it wasn't for the people

01:26.351 --> 01:27.472
in the team we've got involved.

01:27.472 --> 01:28.390
(cheering)

01:28.390 --> 01:31.128
The trust, and the
dedication to the mission,

01:31.128 --> 01:33.039
and the sheer grit involved
(clapping)

01:33.039 --> 01:34.959
in flying our flight demonstrations,

01:34.959 --> 01:37.141
are the critical components of what we do.

01:37.141 --> 01:41.151
(plane engines roaring)

01:41.151 --> 01:44.151
