00:00.009 --> 00:02.299
This is our annually held spouse flight

00:02.309 --> 00:04.289
weekend . We invite squadrons and

00:04.300 --> 00:06.356
leadership that assist with the 54th

00:06.356 --> 00:08.510
helicopter mission . Primarily SFG

00:08.520 --> 00:10.742
spouse is enlisted officer . Any spouse

00:10.742 --> 00:12.964
can come to that the rides for about 45

00:12.964 --> 00:15.020
minutes and then we take off locally

00:15.020 --> 00:16.798
and then the team departs , the

00:16.798 --> 00:19.020
airspace flies around town . There's no

00:19.020 --> 00:20.853
question that the people run the

00:20.853 --> 00:20.629
mission . And you know , it takes a

00:20.639 --> 00:22.528
team to help that happen . So any

00:22.528 --> 00:24.528
person the 91st or fifth that helps

00:24.528 --> 00:26.695
support the mission , the spouse helps

00:26.695 --> 00:28.861
the war fighter and then helps get the

00:28.861 --> 00:31.083
mission done as a team unit . I had the

00:31.083 --> 00:32.861
opportunity to sight see from a

00:32.861 --> 00:34.972
different level . You know , it's one

00:34.972 --> 00:37.306
thing to be flying over in the aircraft ,

00:37.306 --> 00:36.819
but to be on a helicopter with the door

00:36.830 --> 00:39.060
open , that's a lot cooler . So I know

00:39.069 --> 00:41.700
there are a lot of spouses who are new

00:41.709 --> 00:43.931
to the air Force as well and they don't

00:43.931 --> 00:45.987
really know what we do besides go to

00:45.987 --> 00:48.042
work every day . So when events like

00:48.042 --> 00:49.931
this are held , it gives them the

00:49.931 --> 00:49.889
opportunity to see it from a different

00:49.900 --> 00:52.240
perspective . If a spouse is like , do

00:52.250 --> 00:54.380
you really have to do this . They get

00:54.389 --> 00:56.556
to see first saying like , yeah , they

00:56.556 --> 00:58.333
really do have to do it and how

00:58.333 --> 00:58.400
critical that is for the mission .
