00:00I joined the Air Force on August the 8th, 1941.

00:10Why did you join the Air Force?

00:11Well, the war was on.

00:13That's what you did.

00:15You joined the service.

00:17You had any gumption at all.

00:26Everything that put on the uniform before us has molded where we are today.

00:31There's nothing that builds character like the military.

00:36And the friends you make are lifelong friends.

00:39The camaraderie within a squadron almost guarantees trust.

00:43You trust each other with your life.

00:45I feel I have a sense of purpose being part of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

00:50I really love it.

00:51It's not just a job.

00:52It's a way of life.

00:54The RCAF has given me that desire to want to make myself better.

00:58It is the most diverse it has ever been in history.

01:01And I think that's opened my eyes to exactly what Canada is and what it means.

01:06When you join the forces, it's because you want to make a difference.

01:09And sometimes you will give your life for the people.

01:12We will give, give, give, give, give until we cannot give anymore.

01:17The RCAF really follows a no-fail mission ideology.

01:21If we don't show up and do our job the right way the first time,

01:24aircraft fall out of the sky,

01:26you know, people get hurt,

01:27or the mission isn't achieved.

01:32We need a strong and viable Air Force to protect the country

01:37because nobody else is going to really do it except us.

01:42We help save people's lives.

01:44Canadians help save people's lives.

01:47We do everything we can to save someone's life

01:52or touch someone's life in such a personal way

01:55that they're probably going to remember for the rest of their life.

02:00Every day is a different day.

02:02Every day is a different adventure.

02:05You can't fly scared.

02:07You've got to fly aware,

02:09but great detail goes into planning a show.

02:11It's a big coordinated effort.

02:13It's very rewarding to do that because people are coming to you

02:16and being very cognizant of what you do is very special.

02:27We fly so superbly.

02:29The traditions that we have,

02:31the rigor with which we bring to it,

02:34the standards that we have,

02:36the lucky geography of this huge country

02:38that allows us to be sort of a national hero.

02:41A huge country that allows us to be sort of a natural training ground for pilots.

02:45Flying airplanes in support of our country

02:48to the absolute best of everybody's ability.

02:51I'm hugely proud of that.
