- Fly The Barn is an exercise

00:14.670 --> 00:16.584
where we make every effort to

00:16.584 --> 00:19.010
get every aircraft we can possibly get

00:19.010 --> 00:20.520
up in the air at the same time.

00:20.520 --> 00:22.260
Marines put a lot of work into

00:22.260 --> 00:24.150
getting these aircraft mission ready

00:24.150 --> 00:27.530
and it is a goal-based event for them

00:27.530 --> 00:29.790
to see what we can achieve as far as

00:29.790 --> 00:32.576
the maximum readiness at
a scheduled point in time.

00:32.576 --> 00:35.510
(upbeat music)

00:35.510 --> 00:37.550
We were able to achieve
everything we started out.

00:37.550 --> 00:39.400
We got all the aircraft
up and out the door

00:39.400 --> 00:41.300
without any issues and returned safely

00:41.300 --> 00:42.360
in accordance with the plan,

00:42.360 --> 00:44.100
and it gives the Marines that are there

00:44.100 --> 00:45.720
chance to see a real tangible product

00:45.720 --> 00:47.380
of the wrench turning they do,

00:47.380 --> 00:48.700
the avionics troubleshooting they do,

00:48.700 --> 00:50.940
the fire control troubleshooting
that they do every day,

00:50.940 --> 00:54.828
into a tangible result
that they don't always get.

00:57.570 --> 01:00.610
Events like Fly The Barn give the Marine

01:00.610 --> 01:02.590
at the lowest level doing the most basic

01:02.590 --> 01:04.660
work on the aircraft a chance to see

01:04.660 --> 01:06.230
the fruits of their labor that they do

01:06.230 --> 01:11.090
day in and day out, to see the
Squadron output at its apex.
