00:00.183 --> 00:03.683
(gentle orchestral music)

00:07.370 --> 00:09.690
- The radar pretty much touches

00:09.690 --> 00:13.293
every single component of
what its main missions are.

00:14.340 --> 00:16.640
My name is Staff Sergeant Cory Kirchoff,

00:16.640 --> 00:19.593
and I am a
Communications/Nagivations craftsman.

00:23.030 --> 00:27.350
We work on all radio and
radio-navigation systems

00:27.350 --> 00:30.040
on the plane, so anything they use to talk

00:30.040 --> 00:33.260
to ground units, to include
Special Operations Forces,

00:33.260 --> 00:34.383
or other aircraft.

00:36.430 --> 00:38.720
Using our radar system, they can fly

00:38.720 --> 00:41.540
250 feet off the ground,
and that allows them to

00:41.540 --> 00:44.170
fly under detection systems.

00:44.170 --> 00:47.009
It also allows them to do
resupplies and infil/exfil of

00:47.009 --> 00:49.063
any Special Operation Forces.

00:50.321 --> 00:53.488
(mechanical grinding)

00:55.687 --> 00:56.620
- My name's Major Brian Berg,

00:56.620 --> 01:00.230
I'm a Combat Systems Operator on MC-130H.

01:00.230 --> 01:03.310
Our navigation system and our
radar system makes us unique.

01:03.310 --> 01:05.810
Nobody else in the Air
Force has this ability,

01:05.810 --> 01:07.890
a terrain-following,
terrain-avoidance radar system

01:07.890 --> 01:10.740
that allows us to get that
low in all weather conditions.

01:11.940 --> 01:14.582
- Seeing a plane launch,
knowing that it's going to do

01:14.582 --> 01:17.590
a world-changing mission,
and knowing that you had

01:17.590 --> 01:20.770
a big part of that, it
really makes me proud to be

01:20.770 --> 01:22.970
a Maintainer in the
United States Air Force.
