1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,833
(soft crackling)

2
00:00:00,833 --> 00:00:03,400
(dramatic music)

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,100
- I am LS1 Derrious Austin

4
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:07,016
and I'm the Crew Coordinator
for the Blue Angels.

5
00:00:07,016 --> 00:00:09,766
(dramatic music)

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,370
Right now we're in Miramar.

7
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:16,920
We perform about thirty-two
shows a year, so,

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,757
from mid-March to mid-November.

9
00:00:18,757 --> 00:00:21,270
(dramatic music)

10
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:24,690
The Blue Angels are the only
Navy flight demonstration team.

11
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:26,930
We're the longest flight
demonstration team

12
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:28,737
that has been performing in history.

13
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:31,800
(dramatic music)

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,690
They were originated by
Admiral Chester Nimitz.

15
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:35,204
Originally, Jacksonville, Florida.

16
00:00:35,204 --> 00:00:37,400
(dramatic music)

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,917
And actually, our first show
was in Jacksonville, Florida.

18
00:00:39,917 --> 00:00:42,667
(dramatic music)

19
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,190
Every pilot we have this team,

20
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:46,990
um, has a lot of experience behind them.

21
00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:48,510
Has, has a lot of flight hours.

22
00:00:48,510 --> 00:00:49,860
I don't think it's about
themselves anymore.

23
00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:51,760
It's not about them wanting to fly a jet,

24
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,070
or wanting to fly a demo.

25
00:00:53,070 --> 00:00:54,950
I think it's them wanting to do it

26
00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:57,188
because of the faces
that we draw in a crowd.

27
00:00:57,188 --> 00:00:58,100
(dramatic music)

28
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,280
We're not just coming here to try to

29
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,440
make somebody join the military,

30
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,830
but we're doing it because
we want them to know that

31
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:03,010
they can do something with their life.

32
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:04,190
They can do something better.

33
00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:06,760
Or, they can achieve the goals
that they set for themselves.

34
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,145
And we're trying to be
living examples of that.

35
00:01:08,145 --> 00:01:10,895
(dramatic music)

36
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:16,110
We appreciate everybody that
came and watched the show.

37
00:01:16,110 --> 00:01:17,870
Um, we really appreciate the people

38
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:19,574
that we met in the crowd,
that took the time to

39
00:01:19,574 --> 00:01:21,270
kind of talk to us and hang out with us,

40
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:22,580
and even the fellow
marines on that home base

41
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:23,514
that helped us out.

42
00:01:23,514 --> 00:01:26,264
(dramatic music)

43
00:01:49,981 --> 00:01:53,482
(soft crackling)

44
00:01:53,482 --> 00:01:56,232
(dramatic music)
