(cheering)

00:03.746 --> 00:06.100
(jets flying by)

00:06.100 --> 00:07.747
- [George] The United States
Air Force Thunderbirds

00:07.747 --> 00:11.070
kicked off the Captain
Marvel premiere festivities

00:11.070 --> 00:14.400
with an impressive flyover
above Hollywood Boulevard.

00:14.400 --> 00:16.320
Stars of the film walked the red carpet

00:16.320 --> 00:19.320
and met with fans and
service members alike.

00:19.320 --> 00:21.660
One of the Air Force's most historic star,

00:21.660 --> 00:23.570
Brigadier General Jeannie Leavitt,

00:23.570 --> 00:26.020
Air Force's female fighter pilot

00:26.020 --> 00:29.100
and current commander of the
Air Force recruiting service,

00:29.100 --> 00:31.530
was proud to be a consultant on the film

00:31.530 --> 00:33.220
to help bring authenticity

00:33.220 --> 00:35.287
to the character of Carol Danvers.

00:35.287 --> 00:38.480
- It was a great opportunity
to work with Brie Larson

00:38.480 --> 00:41.000
and to work with the crew at Marvel.

00:41.000 --> 00:43.668
They were very interested
in getting the character

00:43.668 --> 00:45.590
as accurate as possible.

00:45.590 --> 00:47.440
I thought that was a very neat thing

00:47.440 --> 00:51.450
that they cared about the
genuineness of the character.

00:51.450 --> 00:52.470
General Leavitt added

00:52.470 --> 00:55.350
that the film will be a
great way for the Air Force

00:55.350 --> 00:56.780
to connect with the public

00:56.780 --> 00:59.690
since the title character
has such a strong link

00:59.690 --> 01:00.910
to the service.

01:00.910 --> 01:02.670
Staff Sergeant George Soules,

01:02.670 --> 01:04.203
Hollywood, California.
