Just take it out there.

You've got your choice of every fighter jet in the inventory to test it against.

You don't need to test it against the public relations team of the Air Force, right?

I mean, if a mishap happened there, I mean, man, it'd be over for that entire project and technology.

So that's why that one to me,

I was like, this doesn't seem like anything that our guys would be launching towards us.

Number three.

All right, so that's the 2018.

This one was out over the Nellis Ranges.

We did... I got like the sweetest deal in the world.

So after I left the Thunderbirds, I became an instructor.

And then there were times where I just needed to take an F-16 out and stay current.

And so, I mean...

It was just an amazing time in life.

And so I was actually in a two-seat F-16 at this point, flying with another member of the team, and we're out over Death Valley.

And there's certain restrictions there where you have to stay, like, I think it's 2,000 feet above certain areas.

And just some background, we would go over the areas at 2,000 feet and stay legal.

But then there was other areas where you could drop down and do little mini low levels and things like that.

And so, of course, like, I had to do that on every mission, right?

Go low, go fast.
