00:01.440 --> 00:03.607
Hi everyone . I'm Lieutenant Colonel ,

00:03.607 --> 00:05.718
mike pall adore and I'm the commander

00:05.718 --> 00:07.884
of the 13th Bomb Squadron . And before

00:07.884 --> 00:07.210
you hear from some of my other young

00:07.210 --> 00:09.321
pilots , I just want to take a moment

00:09.321 --> 00:11.377
to introduce you to our squadron and

00:11.377 --> 00:13.432
what it is we do in the grim reapers

00:13.432 --> 00:15.766
simply put we are the B two schoolhouse ,

00:15.766 --> 00:17.877
all new pilots that come to white men

00:17.877 --> 00:19.932
come to the 13th Bomb Squadron first

00:19.932 --> 00:22.210
and we teach them how to fly the B two ,

00:29.640 --> 00:31.807
We'll get all kinds of new students to

00:31.807 --> 00:34.580
the G38 here at White Men . Um and the

00:34.590 --> 00:36.812
end goal is always the same to get them

00:36.812 --> 00:38.979
to be a safe proficient incompetence .

00:39.340 --> 00:42.430
2 38 pilot , all we do is basically

00:42.430 --> 00:44.652
take them , put them in the appropriate

00:44.652 --> 00:46.541
syllabus and we're gonna run them

00:46.541 --> 00:48.550
through basic aircraft control type

00:48.560 --> 00:51.180
rides where they learn how to take off

00:51.190 --> 00:53.430
land , go out to the area , do loops

00:53.440 --> 00:55.440
building the pilot skills that they

00:55.440 --> 00:57.607
need or run into an instrument block ,

00:57.607 --> 00:59.496
teach them how to safely fly this

00:59.496 --> 01:01.496
aircraft in the weather . So once a

01:01.496 --> 01:03.650
quarter we try and do a basic bomber

01:03.650 --> 01:05.706
fundamentals course where we call it

01:05.706 --> 01:07.860
talent Fury , where we'll bring J tax

01:07.860 --> 01:11.250
out from other locations to work with

01:11.740 --> 01:13.796
pre I . Q . T . Students . These are

01:13.796 --> 01:16.018
guys who have not yet touched the B two

01:16.018 --> 01:18.240
and probably have no idea about weapons

01:18.240 --> 01:20.240
employment at all to give them that

01:20.240 --> 01:22.910
introduction safe , fairly inexpensive

01:22.910 --> 01:25.640
way to train people up . So this is the

01:25.650 --> 01:28.250
T 38 8 model and it's been around since

01:28.250 --> 01:31.980
1950 , The jet behind me is

01:32.040 --> 01:34.780
about 1967 . Its service ceiling of

01:34.780 --> 01:36.880
50,000 ft . It's a supersonic jet

01:36.880 --> 01:40.250
trainer , Go about 800 knots . It's

01:40.250 --> 01:42.690
been pretty much untouched . So it is

01:42.690 --> 01:44.880
flying history to fly about one hour

01:44.880 --> 01:46.936
sorties . We've got about £4,000 of

01:46.936 --> 01:50.530
gas and then weighs about £12,800 and

01:50.530 --> 01:53.080
we've got about £7,000 of thrust in

01:53.080 --> 01:56.340
afterburner . So I'm flying the A model

01:56.340 --> 01:58.396
is a real pilot . Ege , it makes you

01:58.396 --> 02:00.618
kind of feel like you're flying a piece

02:00.618 --> 02:02.970
of history . It's all based on just the

02:03.060 --> 02:05.282
inputs that you're getting from the air

02:05.282 --> 02:07.393
around you . And then it's got little

02:07.393 --> 02:09.449
computers inside of it that are very

02:09.449 --> 02:12.150
rudimentary . I like flying the T 38

02:12.160 --> 02:14.160
because it's definitely a different

02:14.160 --> 02:16.382
type of flying . So you got the B . Two

02:16.382 --> 02:18.438
flying . It's definitely the brain ,

02:18.438 --> 02:20.438
lots of tactics . And then the T 38

02:20.438 --> 02:22.604
it's a lot about the left hand , right

02:22.604 --> 02:24.827
hand going out there . Flying formation

02:24.827 --> 02:26.993
being as precise as you can . And it's

02:26.993 --> 02:26.560
pretty cool to go fast .

02:33.040 --> 02:34.651
It's definitely a fast paced

02:34.651 --> 02:36.762
environment here . Um being the worst

02:36.762 --> 02:38.929
civilian contractor looking to do what

02:38.929 --> 02:40.873
we can do with a minimal amount of

02:40.873 --> 02:43.096
manpower . Everybody has to chip in one

02:43.096 --> 02:45.151
of the things that shows you that is

02:45.151 --> 02:44.350
the fact that everyone here serves as a

02:44.350 --> 02:46.350
crew chief as well as whatever your

02:46.350 --> 02:48.660
other duty title or specialty is , it's

02:48.660 --> 02:50.650
busy . It's fast paced thanks .

02:52.440 --> 02:54.820
I do enjoy working on 38th . Very much

02:54.820 --> 02:57.153
so . I think the coolest thing about it ,

02:57.153 --> 02:59.376
it's the fastest ride a white man . And

02:59.376 --> 03:02.450
that's that's why I like this jet . So

03:02.450 --> 03:05.050
13 Bomb Squadron dates back to 1917

03:05.050 --> 03:07.217
when squadron was founded during World

03:07.217 --> 03:09.272
War I . The squadron's evolved since

03:09.272 --> 03:11.217
then , have been involved in every

03:11.217 --> 03:13.217
major conflict that this nation has

03:13.217 --> 03:15.439
fought . We have folks all the way back

03:15.439 --> 03:17.383
to World War Two now hearing their

03:17.383 --> 03:17.260
stories , um , and how they serve their

03:17.260 --> 03:19.371
country . This inspires us to live up

03:19.371 --> 03:20.371
to their ideals .

03:27.140 --> 03:27.460
Mhm .
