00:00.380 --> 00:01.213
- [Man] Take it away.

00:01.213 --> 00:02.510
- Hey team America.

00:02.510 --> 00:04.110
- [Christopher] General Mark D. Kelly,

00:04.110 --> 00:06.140
commander of Air Combat Command,

00:06.140 --> 00:09.023
visited Nellis Air Force Base last week.

00:10.160 --> 00:12.597
During his visit, he was able

00:12.597 --> 00:15.040
to fly alongside young
United States Air Force

00:15.040 --> 00:16.533
weapons school pilots.

00:17.600 --> 00:20.450
General Kelly says "he's
not required to fly",

00:20.450 --> 00:22.937
but "doing so helps him
understand the pilots

00:22.937 --> 00:25.230
and their modern challenges".

00:25.230 --> 00:27.473
- I can read about or see on slides,

00:27.473 --> 00:29.830
challenges with sustainment,

00:29.830 --> 00:31.050
challenges with airspace,

00:31.050 --> 00:32.703
challenges with scenarios,

00:33.880 --> 00:37.033
challenges with just the duty
day of our aviation nation.

00:37.958 --> 00:40.960
But I won't really understand
it or keep tabs with it,

00:40.960 --> 00:41.793
and keep a pulse on it
unless I get out there

00:41.793 --> 00:45.480
every now and then and
see what's going on.

00:45.480 --> 00:47.800
- This marks General Kelly's first visit

00:47.800 --> 00:50.987
to Nellis since taking
command this past August.

00:50.987 --> 00:53.590
Reporting from Nellis air force base.

00:53.590 --> 00:56.307
I'm Airman First Class Christopher Stolze.

00:56.307 --> 00:58.974
