00:11.199 --> 00:14.670
I am so excited that after five years

00:14.939 --> 00:17.161
that we've opened up the base and every

00:17.161 --> 00:19.780
piece of shade is full . We've got

00:19.790 --> 00:21.846
folks that are walking around . I've

00:21.846 --> 00:23.969
had so many people come up , thanking

00:23.979 --> 00:26.035
us for opening the base . People who

00:26.035 --> 00:28.090
have never been to the base before .

00:28.090 --> 00:30.090
People have been at their first air

00:30.090 --> 00:32.146
show ever . They're just excited and

00:32.146 --> 00:34.146
they're actually glad to be part of

00:34.146 --> 00:36.423
this . It just you can feel the energy .

00:36.430 --> 00:38.430
So we appreciate the opportunity to

00:38.430 --> 00:41.310
showcase the professionalism of our

00:41.400 --> 00:43.567
airmen and families of everything that

00:43.567 --> 00:45.759
we do on white . It's important for ,

00:45.770 --> 00:47.992
again , the citizens who are around the

00:47.992 --> 00:50.419
local area from Kansas City to Saint

00:50.430 --> 00:52.597
Louis , North and South and everywhere

00:52.597 --> 00:54.750
in between to really get a feel for

00:54.759 --> 00:58.700
what we do here . This is a difficult

00:58.709 --> 01:00.720
place to have an air show and we

01:00.729 --> 01:03.009
appreciate their patience . We also

01:03.020 --> 01:05.750
appreciate them caring enough to come
