Wacker, welcome back, man. Good to see you. It looks like you're having a really rough layover.

0:05.0

Hey, Rain. Thanks for having me back. Yeah, that life is good right now on my airline layover, but I appreciate you having me on.

0:13.7

Absolutely. Well, we talked last year about this time because you were working with Wings Over the Rocky and Dose Gringos for a benefit concert,

0:21.7

and sounds like that is also in the works for this summer as well. So I'd like to hear a little bit

0:26.2

about that. Absolutely. So the date to mark on your calendar is June 13th, and it's become an annual

0:33.1

tradition in only its second year. But at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, we're

0:38.9

hosting Dos Grangos again. This time, instead of at a restaurant, we're doing it at a hangar, an open

0:46.0

air hangar with airplanes and a little bit bigger venue, food trucks, drinks, all the fun stuff,

0:52.5

and an opportunity to celebrate fighter pilot

culture and camaraderie. And then also with the greater aviation community. Last year, I think

And his quote was priceless just off the cuff.

He goes, man, you guys must have terrible parents.

1:21.1

And he confessed that, you know, his daughters know all the words too.

1:29.4

But it's such a fun way to bring together, you know, old fighter pilots like us with the younger generation and anybody that can get to Denver on June 13th that's in and around the aviation community.

1:34.3

For me, and a lot of people, I hope, this is at the pinnacle of ways to celebrate that culture

1:40.1

and camaraderie together.

1:41.9

Yeah, absolutely.

1:42.6

I was fortunate to hang out with them in January. They had a big concert in Sumter, South Carolina. First time you're seeing it in person, right? But growing up, listening to Dos Gringos in the fighter pilot world, it was cool to be there in person. So if people haven't heard them, they can check it out on any of the streaming services. We have it live streamed from

2:02.5

last year's however like the audio there. It's not the best. But nonetheless you can kind of check out and get an idea if you have no idea what we're talking about. Highly encourage you to make your way to Denver in June. It's death worthy. You never know when when the last one's going to be, you know, even though it's an annual event.
