A Dutch man is the pilot in command, a German is a Flight Engineer, an American is a Radar technician. Good to see different countrys that work together.
-
Huge respect to your editors. Especially their audio skills
-
BBC interviewer - “So tell us Major Diebels, as the pilot in command, who is flying the plane now?” Major Diebels - “ah crap….”
-
I am astonished by the commitment of the BBC crew, which spent 7 hours airborne to give us a glimpse on all these people who keep our sky safe these troublesome days!
-
“I am the radar technician, I’m in charge of the radar, we use it to scan the air” I love that this man is both trying to boil it down as much as possible to avoid both complicated terms and classified terms lol
-
Very multi-national aircraft team. Americans, Dutch, Estonians, Germans and others. Great to see them work together. It is a genuinely NATO aircraft.
-
I would not have ever thought of the crew being as international that it is
-
I flew AWACS 1980-90......I Thank this crew for their service !!
-
Ah yes, that is very good audio balancing BBC News. 10/10 effort to your editors.
-
Really nice to see all the different nationalities actually working together on the plane rather than by each nation individually working for NATO.
-
It’s really awesome seeing all these different country’s men and women working together so closely
-
I feel so isolated seeing the passenger deck without window and closed space
-
"does it ever feel like you are just watching..?" ..literally their job.. brilliant
-
My left and right ears enjoyed this very much (separately from one another mind)
-
Is there a longer segment of this news report? Seems pretty short report for a 8 hour flight.
-
Really fantastic audio skills! Unbelievable!! Thank you editor's!!!
-
BBC as always, nailing audio! By the way, great coverage of the situation.
-
Even though I spent almost 2 years driving to, from and around these planes stationed at Tinker AFB, bringing and servicing ground equipment, I never realy got to look inside. Thanks for the peek
-
Great work on the sound mix here ... can whoever edited this get taught what stereo is?
-
So how you missed Soviet era drone going 1000km in NATO territory?
