Yeah. Very rudimentary. They'd look at, you know, and then yell down corrections to their cannons. And, of course, that progressed through, obviously, into World War I, early airplanes, Sopwith Camel, et cetera, et cetera. Then, you know, World War II, of course, was the first real air war. And throughout all, and then, of course, Vietnam through the Cold War.

But the first, during those 20th century wars, you know, we'd take imagery from, Take pictures, and if anyone's ever watched that movie 13 Days, where it shows the F-8 Crusader flying over Cuba, taking a picture of the Soviet missiles and then landing in D.C., and it shows how all the steps the guys had to run the film through before it gets shown to the president.

You know, airborne reconnaissance was a tool of the strategic commanders, generals, secretaries, presidents. The average guy on the ground like you and I, we didn't see those pictures in World War II or Vietnam, Korea. But what we saw in our war, in the global war on terror, was a closure of that information loop to where

every operator on the ground was starting to get access to that information. And that was a game changer on so many occasions. See how many guys are in the compound. See where the rocket point of origin site's on the ridgeline. See where the enemy's squirting off to.

And seeing that information in a timeline that you can make a tactical decision, not strategic, not we're going to invade the country on the east instead of the west because that's where the missiles are, but a split-second decision, squirter out the north end, you know, go. So I was part of that era, and I started flying planes when I was a kid.

My neighbor growing up was a Navy pilot, Harry Tebow, great man, Korean War era Navy pilot. And he took me out flying when I was about eight years old, and I fell in love with it right away. I'm like, flying is going to be my life. And he started teaching me how to fly, and his son, Steve Tebow, started teaching me how to fly. And I was flying planes before I was driving cars.
