00:00I got to keep up some other fans.
00:30So
01:00Okay.
01:30So right now the co-pilot is going over the arming, checking the arming wires to make
01:54sure that they're seated through the bomb correctly and that the bombs are pre-flighted
01:59correctly.
02:00And then once they have done the pre-flight of the weapon, they're going to pull the arming
02:03pin and then we'll be ready to go.
02:06It just takes a long time because we have 27 bombs and each bomb requires specific pre-flight
02:12for each one of them.
02:13So moving a ladder around, climbing up, fitting in between all these can take a long time.
02:18So it's a labor-intensive process, so that's why we give ourselves extra time during the
02:22pre-flight.
02:23The mission for today is going to be to practice dropping live weapons.
02:27It's good for the crew members to get a chance to see what it's actually like to not simulate
02:32and use real ordnance.
02:35Just feel how it comes off the jet and just the different switchology that there might
02:38be every time that we launch a real weapon.
02:41So today we've got 27 internal bombs on our jet and we'll be dropping them nine at a time.
02:47There we go.
03:01So, we've got one up here.
03:04Now, once again we're getting pizza and the fruits are ready for what we were getting done.
18:43Okay.
19:43All right.
23:43Oh, there he goes.
