AFTER SIX HOURS OF DOCTORS
VISITS, SURVIVAL TRAINING....
AND REALLY BAD
PARACHUTE LANDING PRACTICES,
NEWS 5'S
HAYLEY MINOGUE GOT THE CHANCE TO
FLY
ALONG IN A T-38 TALON OUT OF
TYNDALL AIR
FORCE BASE IN PANAMA CITY.
PHOTOJOURNALIST JASON GARCIA
JOINED HER AS SHE TOOK OFF....
ABOVE THE BEAUTIFUL GULF.
HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE A
MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN BEAGLES
SQUADRON--- WHERE PULLING 6 G'S
IS ALL IN
A DAY'S WORK.
ACDC "thunder" plays on
cellphone in the locker
room
signing papers
"i'm pretty anxious, they've
hyped it up all day."
gets flight suit
handed a pair of boots
puts on flight suit
boots hit the floor
lacing up boots as WAN watches
"that just took me like 10
minutes"
slo mo walk
record scratch
"ok.... Im good."
AFTER GETTING FITTED FOR MY
G-SUIT... its an
easy fit, that's what i like
WHICH WOULD, FINGERS CROSSED,
KEEP ME CONSCIOUS
DURING MY FLIGHT...
AND GETTING MY HELMET.... WE SAT
DOWN IN THE BRIEFING ROOM TO GET
THE FLIGHT DETAILS.
air force talk flight details
"it was a foreign language i
have no idea what he just
said. i heard weather.... and
new orleans."
THEN, OUT TO THE FLIGHT LINE.
I FLEW WITH CAPTAIN WHITLOCK....
CALL SIGN
WAN.
WE GOT IN OUR T-38 TALON NAT
PREPPED FOR OUR TAKE OFF BY
GETTING
STRAPPED IN-- WITH HELMETS ON.
THEN-- ROLLED OUT.
NATS MOVING TO TAKE OFF
THE FEELING OF A FEW G FORCES
CRUSHING
DOWN ON YOU DURING TAKEOFF... IS
NOTHING LIKE THE 6 G'S WE CAUGHT
DURING
SOME DOG FIGHTING MANUEVERS.
VID
AND THE VIEW OF THE BEAUTIFUL
WHITE GULF
BEACHES FROM THOUSANDS OF FEET
ABOVE-- IS OUTSTANDING.
CAPTAIN WAN EVEN LET ME STEER
FOR A
MINUTE...
SO I BET YOU'VE BEEN
WONDERING... DID YOU
GET SICK UP THERE?
I THOUGHT I WOULD SEVERAL
TIMES....
BUT WAS HAPPY TO REPORT ONCE ON
THE
GROUND... WAVING PUKE BAG
"i didnt throw up. i want to sit
down so bad."
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID...
ON THE
FLIGHT LINE... AND IN THE LOCKER
ROOM.
AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PULL MYSELF
UP, WE
TALKED TO CAPTAIN WAN ABOUT WHAT
HE
HOPES CIVILIANS LEARN FROM THE
BASE'S
UPCOMING AIR SHOW.. THE GULF
COAST
SALUTE
CAPTAIN CALEB "WAN" WHITLOCK,
U.S. AIR
FORCE
"it's vitally important that we
keep a combat ready air force
and our squadron's a support
asset in that role. i hope
everyone just gains an
appreciation for what it
entails day to day and gets a
good view of it."
THE AIRSHOW WILL BE WORTH THE
DRIVE...
BUT I'LL KEEP MY FEET PLANTED
FIRMLY ON
THE GROUND.
WITH PHOTOJOURNALIST
JASON GARCIA, I'M HAYLEY
MINOGUE,
NEWS 5.
