00:00.752 --> 00:03.169
(soft music)

00:05.280 --> 00:07.250
- So, a question we get a lot at Crowdline

00:07.250 --> 00:10.640
is how much of the demonstration
that we do is automated

00:10.640 --> 00:12.290
or computer controlled.

00:12.290 --> 00:13.380
And it's a fair question.

00:13.380 --> 00:15.927
Because it's 2018 and much of our world

00:15.927 --> 00:18.220
is going that direction.

00:18.220 --> 00:21.123
But the reality is none of
it is computer controlled.

00:22.950 --> 00:24.470
So, when it comes to automation

00:24.470 --> 00:26.120
or whether the demo is automated,

00:27.330 --> 00:29.860
it's funny to hear that because
we just know how much work

00:29.860 --> 00:33.979
is involved behind the scenes
to put the demo together.

00:33.979 --> 00:34.812
- [Pilot] I got good comms.

00:34.812 --> 00:36.400
- [Man #2] Alright, sir!

00:36.400 --> 00:39.270
- In fact, the flying that we
do is the most hands-on and

00:39.270 --> 00:42.370
stick and rudder flying that
I've ever done in my career.

00:42.370 --> 00:44.790
So to refute that automated question, no.

00:44.790 --> 00:46.963
None of it is automated, far from it.

00:50.310 --> 00:52.940
When we go to places where
automation is prevalent,

00:52.940 --> 00:55.600
I hope we show as a powerful
reminder that not what

00:55.600 --> 00:57.863
machines can do, but what people can do.

00:59.670 --> 01:04.490
We've been doing this Blue
Angel mission since 1946, and

01:04.490 --> 01:08.188
our 72 year history, it has
always been about the people.

01:08.188 --> 01:09.990
The people that fly the airplanes,

01:09.990 --> 01:11.890
the people that work on the airplanes,

01:12.920 --> 01:16.750
how we're able to take this
Blue Angel product and move it

01:16.750 --> 01:19.210
from show sight to show
sight, different cities,

01:19.210 --> 01:22.190
each and every week, put on
a safe and effective flight

01:22.190 --> 01:25.150
demonstration is truly incredible,
but that wouldn't happen

01:25.150 --> 01:28.530
if it wasn't for the people
and the teamwork that involves.

01:28.530 --> 01:32.120
The trust, the dedication to
the mission, and the sheer grit

01:32.120 --> 01:35.630
involved in flying our
flight demonstrations are the

01:35.630 --> 01:38.365
critical components to what we do.

01:38.365 --> 01:40.948
