1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:03,822
(airplane engine revving)

2
00:00:03,822 --> 00:00:06,739
(computer beeping)

3
00:00:08,178 --> 00:00:09,011
- [Tower Announcer] Jacksonville Tower

4
00:00:09,011 --> 00:00:11,041
to three zero zero zero.

5
00:00:11,041 --> 00:00:12,735
Break up to 1500 pattern.

6
00:00:12,735 --> 00:00:16,021
Altitude is 1000 feet, good position.

7
00:00:16,021 --> 00:00:16,854
602

8
00:00:16,854 --> 00:00:17,697
1500

9
00:00:17,697 --> 00:00:19,864
(mumbles)

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,470
- It's a lot of plane, it's a lot,

11
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:29,770
and it weighs more than anything
we've ever flown before.

12
00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:32,760
It's also a lot faster,
a lot more powerful.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,540
It's got a lot more thrust
then we've ever touched.

14
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:39,997
It just wants to go to the moon, you know.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,160
- The primary mission is
ASW, Anti-Submarine Warfare

16
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,450
but intelligence
surveillance reconnaissance

17
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:50,950
using all the sensors that
are inherent to the aircraft.

18
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:54,480
Whether they be sonobuoys
for tracking submarines,

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,480
the radar, the cameras, all
those pieces of the aircraft

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,390
go into the multiple missions sets

21
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,510
that the P8 is able to accomplish

22
00:01:05,510 --> 00:01:07,210
when it goes out over the horizon.

23
00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:10,680
- I think the P8 is most relevant aircraft

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,690
that the Navy has today.

25
00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:16,910
You turn on like any 24 hour news cycle,

26
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,750
more than likely you're
gonna see a P8 on there.

27
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:22,430
I can't tell you how many
times I'll be in class

28
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:24,140
or in the gym or something,

29
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:26,547
and one of my friends will
send me a picture like

30
00:01:26,547 --> 00:01:27,590
"Isn't that your plane",

31
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:29,610
you know, on the news.

32
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:30,873
They're always out there.

33
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,663
So I think that in today's
global environment,

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,440
having a long range plane like this

35
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:44,900
really gives us an advantage,
and like I said it's the most

36
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:46,913
relevant aircraft carrying forward.

37
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,900
- The reason why it's
important to the fleet

38
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:53,435
is it's the eyes and ears of the fleet

39
00:01:53,435 --> 00:01:54,767
and the fleet commander,

40
00:01:54,767 --> 00:01:57,570
so if there anything that is of concern

41
00:01:57,570 --> 00:01:59,890
to the fleet commander
he's gonna send out that P8

42
00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:04,296
to figure what's going on,
for him and for his team,

43
00:02:04,296 --> 00:02:07,510
and then ultimately we
become part of the solution

44
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:09,960
all the way through the kill chain

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,063
finishing whatever target is required.

46
00:02:13,386 --> 00:02:15,803
(calm music)
