It's an honor to be a part of this elite group, the demonstration teams are made up of our finest aviators, not that they're any better than the rest of them, but they represent our armed forces well, and in my experience with them for the last 25 years, I’m so proud to be a part of that.

To me that’s what's so impressive being able to show the taxpayers, show the mom and dad and the kids growing up that they'd be proud of what we have in the United States, here’s your Air Force. We’re representing the past, present and future.

It ranks way up there. One of the biggest things is that they asked me to do it. It’s a real honor to be involved in such an event. It’s going to be watched by billions of people. No pressure.
