 Most of my pieces of here are chips and get-a-backs, so usually a lot of people mess with me. I'm Lieutenant Commander Josh Wofford, an MH65 Delta pilot for the United States Coast Guard. We're here for the air show just to kind of show our appreciation for the public and us being able to be able to serve them for so many years with this awesome helicopter. Just to give people a chance to come out, check out and see what the Coast Guard's about. Let their kids come, hop in the pilot's seat, get a feel for the controls and hopefully one day maybe consider the Coast Guard as a place to work. The MH65 Delta is our short-range response helicopter up in Alaska. We're out of Kodiak and we do what's called the Alaska Patrol Mission, basically where we take off from the back of Coast Guard cutters in the Bering Sea, do search and rescue, law enforcement, fisheries enforcement, and just helping out the local community and doing whatever is needed as far as search and rescue goes. Coast Guard here in Alaska, as awesome as this helicopter is, it doesn't have de-icing capability, so that presents a challenge, particularly operating in the winter, but we've got awesome crews who are very professionally trained. We work really hard and do the best that we can to make sure that we're able to safely operate up here. My favorite part about being stationed here is just seeing all the beautiful mountains. I love the glaciers down in Cordova, the sun being up most of the time in the summer, and the fishing's awesome too. My favorite part of the air show is, I'm a little partial to the F-22, that's probably my favorite performance so far. And just seeing everybody out again smiling happy and talking to each other just makes me happy. If you've never been to an air show, I recommend you come out to our Thunder, check it out. It's amazing to see all these capable aircraft, see what the US military is up to, even civilian aviation. And if you have any interest in becoming a pilot, flight mechanic, or serving either the military or just in aviation at all, come and talk to any of us. We pilots, aviators love to talk. We'd love to tell you about our jobs. Our crew and artist leaders, ready to meet, ready for member of the member of the family, they are returning our glory to the wind. You be all ready and all the care, supporting your people, staying in your nation, your nation. Now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'll just... God, we are blessed today to have this opportunity to rise and rise for others and do good deeds that go unnoticed. The slow speed control is just as important to those in flight. A serious approach is built better from your right. Notice the great pain scheme of the F-161 that's designed to make it... There you go. Love your jacket and your dress. Very pretty. Tom Larkin and I'm the owner and pilot of Minijet Air Shows. I've been piloting Minijet for five years, but I started off in the Air Force actually with the 525, which is here now. I was an F-15 driver in Pittsburgh with them, and now it's an F-22 Raptor Squadron up here. Absolutely. I got my license at 19. I was flying radio control before that. And I've been flying nonstop for 40 years now. So this is an awesome way to get back to the crowd. Because the kids love it. It's something that attracts the kids, so it allows them to engage. And it allows me to take the wigs off and travel the country with my wife. I do. I do. I went over to the 525 last night, and it was just, oh my gosh, do I miss it? I love serving my country, and I love flying jets. So doing the two to combine was the highlight of my life. It is. It is. It's what I do it for. I only fly for 12 to 15 minutes per act, but I try and spend at least a couple hours engaging with the kids. It's just awesome to see how they react to the aircraft, the air shows, and I remember doing that when I was a kid. More engaged, the audience is better. Just do it. Just go out and take one lesson. Just go out and get one ride in an airplane, and you're going to fall in love with it. That's what I did, and I've been flying ever since. I took one ride, one lesson when I was 19, and I had my license 62 days later. So just take the first step. Go get an incentive ride. Go get one ride in an airplane, and you fall in love with it, and it becomes something you'll never get over. Yeah, we do this all over the country, all summer long, from the spring to the fall. And this is one of the best crowds I've ever seen. So, Joint Base Salmon Dwarf, Arkted Thunder 2022, you guys rock. Great crowd, great venue, great people, and really privileged to be here. My name is Melissa Burns, and I fly the Edge 540. I had the Edge built for me back in 2005, so I've been flying it for, gosh, over 15 years now. It's a great airplane. It's built in Guthrie, Oklahoma, and it's a US-built plane. It's one of the most high-performance aerobatic planes on the planet. I grew up in a flying family. My grandmother was a pilot. She did flight instruction. My grandfather was an Air Force test pilot. So I actually learned to fly with my grandpa at an air park in Butler, Pennsylvania, where my grandma lived at. Yeah, where generations were flying. I went from learning to fly in high school. I went to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University out in Arizona, and then I got involved in competition aerobatics. I was a limited team when I was only 20, I think I was 22 years old. And yeah, I got into competitions, got into air-showing, and it just sucked me in. You know what, this right here is one of my favorite shows to come to. I'm not from Alaska. My husband is from Tel Ketna, and I actually met him here at this show six years ago. And we've got two little kids now, so this show is a really special spot for us. I work in flying Alaska, so for me, being able to connect with other Alaskans, being able to inspire these kids and give them a chance to see what we can do with airplanes. I just hope that, you know, I hope they get inspired. I hope that they want to go out and chase their dreams. And I hope that they love being a part of Elmendorf's air show. I tell them, you know, for kids, stay in school, you know, study hard, make good decisions. Flying is something that is a privilege, so we've always got to keep making those good decisions so that we don't lose that privilege and get involved. If you're into airplanes, go volunteer at the airport. Go meet people. Go help out at an aero club. One of the best ways to get involved in aviation is just networking and just coming out here. If you see me, come say hi. Oh, yeah, to the Arctic Thunder Open House audience, thank you for being here. If it wasn't for you guys, we wouldn't have an air show. We are here for you. We can go fly anytime, but we do these events for the audience. The Yorca Flight Returning Michelle Center. She's continuing to race series of dogs. To make it one of the most survivable heavy platforms in the U.S. Alongside her other qualities, this capability lets the C-17 carry 30 Hercules. The C-17, two Apache helicopters or an entire N1, allows the Globemaster to move this code for independent computers. That was me! Hi, team Reds! We have several size, those winglets are nearly nine feet tall. Hey everybody, we're out here at J-B-E-R. It's a beautiful day with really thick air. We're on daunted air shows. I'm Stephen Christopher flying Red. Dodd Rudberg here flying Orange. And we're having a ball flying for you today. Hope to see you come out here. We fly a two-ship aerobatic routine. We're out of the Pacific Northwest in Washington. We love being in Alaska. We built our own airplanes and we love to fly them for you. Another highlight is obviously the Thunderbirds. They're on point here. Apparently they like thick air as much as we do. And it's really fun being here with the huge crowds. And what a successful show this has been. Fantastic, thanks.
