- [SrA. Rella] Arctic
Challenge exercise 2019

00:04.180 --> 00:08.670
offers participating nations
diverse training opportunities.

00:08.670 --> 00:10.770
Captain Beau DeLeon, a pilot

00:10.770 --> 00:13.640
with the 141st Air Refueling Squadron,

00:13.640 --> 00:15.950
Joint Base McGuire,
Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey,

00:15.950 --> 00:18.030
had the opportunity to
see what is was like

00:18.030 --> 00:20.690
to prepare a KC-135 for take off.

00:20.690 --> 00:21.556
- I always wanted to do this.

00:21.556 --> 00:24.830
It's a lot more than just,
you know, the crew chiefs

00:24.830 --> 00:26.070
and then the pilots get to see,

00:26.070 --> 00:27.776
and then the jet just goes.
- Right.

00:27.776 --> 00:28.940
- There's a lot of other

00:28.940 --> 00:31.190
pieces and people that make it happen.

00:31.190 --> 00:32.380
It's amazing to see

00:33.400 --> 00:35.412
just how many different
specialties there are.

00:35.412 --> 00:38.071
'Cause you always just think
the pilot and crew chiefs,

00:38.071 --> 00:40.296
but you don't think of like
all the other specialties.

00:40.296 --> 00:41.129
When we get into the jet,

00:41.129 --> 00:43.270
you guys open up, everything
is already turned on for us.

00:43.270 --> 00:44.530
I don't wanna take that for granted

00:44.530 --> 00:45.547
for what you guys are doing.

00:45.547 --> 00:48.410
It's cool to see how everything
kinda comes together.

00:48.410 --> 00:51.210
You know with the maintenance
side, the operation side.

00:51.210 --> 00:53.270

00:53.270 --> 00:56.264
