[engine sputters]

[engine roars]

[man on radio] Transcom 47,

contact departure, good day.

[soft music]

[woman 1] Aerobatic is unique,

it's very special.

[woman 2] It's amazing that you

can make an airplane do that.

[man] What impressed me the

most was what the earth looks

like from upside down,

straight down, straight up.

It's really spectacular.

You have such a feeling

of freedom.

[woman 3] I'm not fearless

in general but

I feel so great in here that

no, there's no fear.

[woman 4] For me, being in my

plane is where I'm comfortable.

And once I'm sitting in

that cockpit, it's game on.

[woman 1] I think we must

stop discussing

about women in aerobatic

and men in aerobatic

It's just aerobatic.

And I think it makes

no difference

if you are a woman

or a man.

[upbeat music]

[engine starts]

[drums]

[woman 1] I think it's more or

less a man's sport.

Don't know why.

[man] Women are becoming

more empowered

and I realize that they can

do anything as well,

if not better than

the men.

So we're seeing far more

women now exposing

themselves to you know,

skydiving, aerobatics,

you know, extreme skiing.

And it's a great thing, you

know, like why wouldn't they?

[plane roars]

Hi, I'm Connie Baker.

I'm here with

Andrew Wright.

We'll be flying in the

Giles two-oh-two,

the hottest plane in the

circuit today.

When anybody experienced

and Aerobatic flight

for the first time, it's

something you never forget.

[man on radio] How do you feel?

Do you feel okay?

-I feel fine.

-You feel great? Awesome.

- Yeah!

- All right.

We're gonna roll

up on the up line

and then we're gonna roll

on the down line.

This must be kind of

weird 'cause you're

not used to seeing

the world coming around from

these directions.

First we're gonna pick up

a little speed here downhill.

And then we're gonna come out

at a pretty fast speed.

Here we go,

full vertical.

Woo!

Look left, look left,

look left.

Ah!

Look left.

That's two.

Hammer head coming up,

three, two, one.

Pivot.

Look straight down.

That's a quarter roll,

that's a quarter roll,

that's a quarter roll.

Coming up.

[laughter]

I did it!

Yay for me!

You did, you're doing

awesome.

How do you feel?

I feel great!

-See, really?

-Yes!

Awesome, awesome, good.

I've had many people that

are like totally done.

Totally like "Get me out of

here right now, done."

The first time I got in

a plane I was I don't know,

maybe one week

old or two.

First time I flew was a

long time ago now.

I was fourteen.

I in fact didn't start flying

at all until my 30s.

I got a ride by somebody

in an airplane

and started flying the very

next day actually.

I start flying when I was

sitting beside my husband

and I was wondering when he

became ill, what happened.

My grandmother

was a pilot.

Her fun thing to do with

the grandkids

was take you up

in the cessna.

I just absolutely fell in

love with aviation

and Aerobatics at a

very young age.

[Rihn-Harvey]

Well I'm third generation

of pilot in my family.

I've flown Aerobatics

for 35 years.

And I've been to this will be my

fifteenth world championship.

I think it's just time.

It's time to retire.

I'm Debby Rihn-Harvey from

the United States.

I'm Kathel Boulanger and

I'm an Aerobatic Pilot

on the French Team.

My name is Aude, I'm an

airline pilot on Boeing 777.

My name's Ann Marie Ward

and I am a member

of the Canadian Aerobatic

Team.

I'm Dagmar Kress, I'm on the

German Aerobatic Team.

My name is Heike Sauels, I'm

part of the German Team.

My name's Melissa Pemberton

and I'm a professional

air show pilot and

display skydiver.

[tense music]

[male announcer] Here we

are at the 2013 World Aerobatic

Championship in Texas.

Our first female pilot is

Debby Rihn-Harvery.

She has flown at the unlimited

level for 31 years.

And this is her last World

Championship.

Will she finally be able to

take home the title?

[upbeat music]

[Rihn-Harvey]

You know, I've always

competed against the guys.

Now there's a little

controversy.

My husband used to say that

I learned Aerobatics because

a man could do something

that I couldn't do.

So I said "No, that

wasn't true."

I really didn't know that it was

strange to have a woman

as a pilot or a woman racing

cars or anything else.

So I did it all.

It's in my blood.

Debby Rihn-Harvey is somebody

that I admire very much.

Of course, I have to be neutral

here because I'm on the jury.

She is an extremely

talented pilot.

She has more experience

than any other pilot

on this air field at

the moment.

There's nobody that has

competed in more

World Championships

than she has.

She's flown in all

the wind conditions,

all the weather,

all the different temperatures.

And of course, all kind of

different air fields

and that's also

an advantage for her.

And she's flown at

this Nationals

here for over

30 years.

My grandfather flew in

the teens and twenties.

Was a barn stormer.

My father flew during

World War II and taught my

brothers and I how to fly when

we were in our early teens.

[Heuer] We're seeing more women

airline pilots than ever before.

More women in the military

flying aircraft there.

And why we've not seen

a growth in aerobatics,

I don't have a definitive

answer for you.

But we're doing our best

to encourage it.

The few number of woman

pilots in general in aviation

is a real mystery for me.

The woman that compete

at World Championships

are far better than

the men quite often.

So it's not a physical barrier,

I think it's more a case

of women aren't exposed

to it as much.

If more women fly airplanes

we would have

more women aerobatic pilots.

So it's pretty much as

simple as that.

[plane roars]

Personally, I've seen

first-hand how challenging

it has been for Melissa

to excel in what is

a male dominated sport.

There's still traditional

feelings I think within

the sport where maybe males can

do this better than females

and kind of that stigma to

it, which is not true.

A woman can fly just

as good as a male.

[Pemberton] Rex talks about

the ups and downs in the sport

and a lot of them for me have

been because I'm a woman.

Because I've been

doing this for 11 years

and I'll still be

looked at and go

"Oh, here's the up and coming."

Because I'm a young girl.

It's like, this is

all I've done.

So sometimes there'll be a male

that comes into a sport

will be in it a couple years

and they're instantly viewed

as being more experienced than

me because they're a male.

And that for me

is really tough.

I see myself just

as a pilot.

And being a woman is

completely secondary,

it's not meaningful.

There were obstacles

along the way.

But I just worked harder to try

to overcome that obstacle

and prove that I could

do the same job.

[planes roar]

There's till the

battles to be fought.

And I think that the women

who have come before

us have fought many of those

battles and have made it

come a long long way

for women.

And I hope that by doing

what we do,

we can keep on making

that progression.

[in French] I have studied

the relationship

women have with

aviation quite a bit,

and I still have a film

project that I want to direct

about airplanes and women.

So, I read a lot of

bios on women,

and in the 30s,

and in the 20s,

there were many women

who were pilots

and some set world records.

[soft music]

[soft music]

[indistinct chatter]

[engine roars]

I really never thought I would

be interested in aerobatics

only because I thought

those people were crazy.

Why would anybody want

to do that

in a perfectly good

airplane.

You get to fly upside down

in two dimensions.

It's another way of

flying really.

You're doing loops,

you're doing rolls.

It's like that thrill of

a roller coaster ride.

[in French]

But a plane, it's just a plane.

It's just pieces of wood,

metal, a motor, etc.

Well, actually, not really,

somehow it has a soul,

somehow we speak to it,

somehow there is

a connection with it,

somehow there is a magic

that happens.

The first aerobatic

maneuver that I ever saw

and felt was a loop.

The first time I did spins

I was scared to death.

I was almost afraid to go

upside down for the first time.

And then there it was

and it was just

another maneuver

and another way to fly.

And it opened up a whole

new world of flying.

[man] Where's your seatbelt?

Is it tight?

[woman]

Oh, the bottom one.

Put a few more on that

so you're uncomfortable.

Okay, I'm uncomfortable.

Okay that's good.

Here's what we're gonna do,

we're gonna roll upside down

and you're gonna decide

it was too loose. Okay?

- Okay.

- Here we go.

[shrieking]

You didn't fall in so it

couldn't be that loose.

Oh my god!

You want to make it any

tighter or is that okay?

Believe it or not,

I think I got it.

All right, all right.

Well here's a roll,

here's a roll.

Looking straight ahead,

there we go.

Whoa!

That's a roll,

that's the easy roll.

All right.

Okay.

Now I told you about

that fast roll.

Brace your head.

Elbows and brace

really good.

Okay here we go.

[screaming]

Here we go!

[laughing]

Woo!

That was awesome!

You look like you're having

a good time up there.

[Pemberton] Among the women

that we have.

Today we have a very very

strong playing field.

I think that everyone has

spent a lot of time

preparing to be here.

Of course, Svetlana has

won top placing female

more times than I know.

So I would probably put

her right at the top

of someone who's gonna be

quite tough to beat.

[Heuer] Svetlana Kapanina

is probably the finest

woman aerobatic

pilot of all time.

She's won the World Champion

Title now I think seven times.

We've never seen such

a consistent performance.

[Boulanger] Before Svetlana,

no woman had this quality

of fight as high

as a man had.

For one, she's very

very talented.

She has a lot of

natural ability,

and then on top of that,

the Russian team has fantastic

coaching program that they

developed over many years

to develop many world

championships.

She's part of the system

and I think the combination

of those two, good airplanes,

good coaching and pure talent

and natural ability is what

puts her at the very top.

What makes the top performers

in anything in life?

What brings them

to the top?

And it's always the talent.

It is an amount of practice

and very hard work at it.

If you only have the talent

and you don't work at it,

you won't get there.

If you only work at it and you

don't have the talent,

you won't get there either.

You need both.

And then you need circumstances

in life that put you

in the position to take

advantage of it.

And she probably has an

ability to focus on it

and stay concentrated.

So I wish her the best for this

year's competition again.

[in French] If we stick to the

strict reading of the results,

we can see for example,

that the Russian Kapanina

is able to compete with

the best male pilots

at the highest

international level.

So we can think that her

aggressiveness and energy

allows her to rival

the best male pilots.

[Heuer]

Svetlana does exactly what

you have to do to win.

And she's consistent

about it.

In other words, she comes

here well prepared,

well practiced, she's very

concentrated,

she does not make

mistakes,

she flies the figures

extremely precisely.

And she never goes

outside the box.

An aerobatic box is sort

of like a tennis court,

only it's three dimensional.

The box is 1000 meters square,

but also it's 1000 meters high.

So it's a cube.

And the pilot must fly their

competition routines

or what we call sequences inside

that box and to remain

inside the box in order to

avoid getting penalties.

What the judge does, they're

judging figure quality only.

They're watching the pilot

fly the figures

and they're marking

them from 0 to 10.

But we have judges also

on the corners,

and they have devices out

there that they site on.

They look at and they can tell

when the pilot's out.

And then they

call it in.

So what's good about

this system is,

is that it lets the judges

totally concentrate

on the quality of the maneuvers

and the figures themselves.

And then the other judges take

care of determining whether

or not the pilot is in

or outside the box.

I can't emphasize how important

it is that they observe

the limits of the box.

That's why you'll hear many

discussions among

pilots here about the box.

And they don't like

it too much.

Is anybody not familiar

with that?

The first reaction when you

come to land and you see

your results you're

thinking about the judges.

They do not, well--

they do not ride.

You can imagine most of

the aircraft like the one behind

me are typically flying

at over 200 miles per hour

at the bottom of some

of the figures when they're

at their fastest speeds.

And it doesn't take long

to go through

a 1000 meter distance at

200 miles per hour.

So it's extremely challenging

for them to do

those figures in the box.

[plane roars]

[ in French]

The specificity of aerobatics

is that the pilot undergoes

forces of acceleration

during the different maneuvers.

Those forces of acceleration

are called Gs.

We are taking up to 90s

in positive and minus six

minus seven on the flight.

And it can have huge

difference between positive

and negative in just

a second.

When we are talking about

positive G's it means

that you are pulling like

this, like vertically.

You have the feeling that

you are going down

and all your blood goes from

the head to the feet.

And this is totally the opposite

in negative G's.

You have your blood going

up to the head.

Here we go, we're gonna

look forward

and then you're gonna

look left.

Three, two, one, go.

[shouting]

Okay, I should've

warned you about that one.

Look left now, look left.

Pick your head up,

look left.

Okay now hold your

head up,

don't let your head fall back

like that again.

-Okay.

-You can't pick it up

can you?

No.

No I can't.

So that's the problem

with the G.

Once your head falls back

you can't pick it up.

Wherever your arms are,

they're staying there 'cause

they weigh three, four,

five, six times.

Holy moly.

It's a large range of G

but you're only pulling

it for a couple of seconds.

So you can just resist against

it by using your muscles

or the negative G

by relaxing.

Which we of course

over the season,

build up our G tolerance.

If you think they I'm sitting

here and I pull ten G's.

Suddenly that's ten times my own

weight going down on my body

and on your internal organs

and everything.

So by tightening your muscles

you're able to resist

against that, you're

able to keep the blood out

to your extremities

instead of being pushed in

towards your heart

and your brain and causing

what we call that tunnel

vision or

possible gray outs

and black outs.

[in French] The visual field

will gradually shrink

to have a tunnel

vision effect.

This is the first stage.

Then we lose the

vision of colors.

You can even see

a flickering phenomenon.

The next step is total

loss of vision.

But the pilot remains

conscious.

The final stage is the

loss of consciousness

that can last from one

to several seconds

and with a return to reality

which could be

a bit problematic.

I have experienced a loss

of consciousness in

an aerobatic flight,

early on in my training.

All I was doing was inverted

turns and then a pull down.

And I didn't realize that

you don't have to do

high negative G's it's just

sustained negative G's

and a pull down that

can get you.

And the wall went gone,

I was out.

Completely unconscious

for a few seconds.

The recovery was

frightening because it took

a minute before I knew

where I was.

And then I almost had the

shakes or something.

And I couldn't really control

things for a moment or two,

I was just lucky I was

in a climb.

And by the time things

settled down

and I was able to fly

again safely.

[upbeat music]

When I hear a woman

who dares,

what that brings to mind

is women who are willing

to go out there and

try something.

Go out there and take

a chance.

I'm not even sure if we

are women who dare.

Because it is very calculated.

I think that for women to

just have the courage

to take opportunities when

they have them,

I think that that's a daring

woman right there.

[Andronicou]

The only thing stopping you

in life to do things

is really yourself.

Most things happen in life

because you want them to happen.

I haven't flown in nine

years, about nine years.

From 1999-2008

I haven't flown.

And the reason why I stopped,

I became more aware of the risk.

Also, my brother's wife passed

away in an airplane accident

when his son and my daughter

were just a little under

three years old.

And when she didn't come home,

that was really hard.

And I just quit, I got so afraid

to not come home anymore.

So I'm not afraid when

I see Kathel's plane.

because everything

is well prepared.

We share the same passion,

the same sport,

so I know how it works.

Mechanical failure actually

we are trained for them.

And no, maybe the only fear in

the championship is the mistake,

the mistake I will do.

[Rex Pemberton] I may say "Hey

Melissa, look at this thing

on the airplane it seems

to be cracked."

And Melissa will walk

up and go

"You're an idiot, this doesn't

matter it's nothing."

But for me,

it's not nothing.

For me, it's something

that if it breaks,

oh my gosh what

would happen?

Would Melissa go into

a wild spin and crash?

Stuff like that is

important to me.

But at the same time,

she's got the experience

so when she says it's fine,

I need to back off.

And go "Okay, it's fine,

it's gonna be fine."

If you look at the statistic

an aerobatic competition

has a very low accident rate

and I want to say

I'm not sure if I'm right,

but I think there have been

only two fatalities in 40

years of competition.

One was in 1976 and the other

one was Vicki Cruse.

[tense music]

The 27th World Aerobatic

Championship takes place

over a ten-day period

and includes 60 pilots

from 18 different countries.

Each pilot must perform

four programs,

Known, Unknown, Free,

and Four-minute Freestyle.

These strong willed female

pilots will be tested

on their physical abilities,

knowledge and skills.

Kathel Boulanger has done

a wonderful job preparing her

newly designed pink

extreme air XA-41 plane

to win this championship.

She's been a member

of the French Team since 2004

and has one thing

in mind, winning first place.

[extreme music]

The next pilot preparing

is Aude Lemordant

also representing

France with her CAP-232 plane.

She finished second in the last

World Championship.

Will this be the year

she takes down Svetlana,

the highest ranking female

pilot of all time?

When I meet people

like Kathel and Aude,

one thing I know is that they

love what they do.

And they love flying

and they love aerobatics

more than anything.

[in French] We are thankful to

the women of the French team,

they are our ambassadors

to promote this sport.

I started aerobatic just

because one of my friends

took me for a ride,

I loved that.

I still needed some more hours

of flight for my professional

licenses and I said "Oh I like

aerobatics so I will pass

my second degree of aerobatics."

And I actually never stopped.

[in French] I started flying

gliders at the age of 14.

I realized an airplane could

be a good office.

Then I decided to make

it my career.

[birds cawing]

[thunder]

[rain pours]

Well, nothing's been happening

here because of low cloud,

rain and winds that

are too high.

We're going stir crazy

to be honest.

Like this weather is terrible

and it's because there's

like a tropical storm or cyclone

coming out of Mexico right now.

And it's just dumping rain

here in Texas.

There's supposed to

be four programs

and I guess maximum

we'll get two.

Which are not the most selective

programs because the more

selective ones are the

unknowns.

So I don't think we'll get

a chance to do it.

I haven't flown yet so I still

have to be thinking about

my program and ready

to fly.

But that's a tough thing to

maintain when it's just

day after day of sitting around

with dreary weather

inside of a hotel.

[upbeat tune]

Ladies and gentlemen,

here's our youngest pilot

in the competition, Melissa

Pemberton of the United States.

She's a very talented young

lady and this is her second

World Competition and she's

got big shoes to fill.

Will she be the next Debby

Rihn-Harvey or Pattie Wagstaff?

My dad was a deep-sea

diver and we dredged

for gold as kids growing up.

And he would take us rock

climbing as a family.

I think that my father's

adventurous side

was really passed

on to me.

And my mom comes from

an aviation family.

So when I told them, "You know,

Mom and Dad I think I want to

become an airshow pilot and

a professional aerobatic pilot."

I don't think they were

all that surprised.

I have a couple of little

traditions that I keep up.

But I always do my nails

to they're in

their red white and blue.

And that's my own little

good luck charm.

I do that for world level and

national level competitions.

Melissa is a great pilot

and a great aerobatic pilot.

And I think if she chooses to

continue at this level

in competition,

she'll do very well.

What most pilots do that are

serious about competing

is they start at sportsman and

then they work their way up.

And gradually gain the

experience and skill that they

need, that's exactly what

Melissa did.

And plus, she has

a good aircraft,

good support.

I think that you do have a

relationship with your airplane.

Me, I call it, I always

say it's our baby.

I spend way more time with that

airplane than I do my husband.

Well we met actually

in Australia.

Melissa decided to tour

Australia for a year.

And bring her aircraft

down from the

United States to

Australia to train.

And I met her through a mutual

passion of base jumping,

which is jumping off cliffs

with parachutes.

Something that really

attracted me to Melissa

in the first place when we first

met was just that pure drive

that she has to set

a goal and then go after it

and not let anybody get

in the way.

We're seeing far more women

now exposing themselves

to skydiving aerobatics,

extreme skiing.

And it's a great thing,

why wouldn't they?

[in French] Women are not denied

access to extreme sports.

I think it is just

a cultural problem

where the practice was further

developed by men,

but there is equal access

for women and men in

these disciplines.

There's no difference.

The difference between say the

French and Russian teams

and the other countries

is they are teams.

They have structure,

they have coaching,

they have support from

their national aero club.

They have sponsors,

they run training camps,

that is how you win

a championship.

[in French]

To win, you must have a team.

We can only win

if we have a team behind us.

For many women that are now

still early in their careers

that have recently entered

aviation as a career field,

they're not at the point

in their lives yet where

they may be able to

afford it.

Certainly, that's true

in America.

Now the subsidized or the

state supported teams,

that's a little different.

Many countries, it is a hobby

and so therefore you have

to weigh your time and your

commitment to that hobby.

Versus making a living

to pay for the hobby

and what your participation

level will be.

It's very expensive to become

involved in aerobatics because

first of all, you have to be an

experienced pilot to begin with.

And then there's the purchase

of the air craft and

the air crafts now are all in

six figures in U.S. dollars.

Two to 400,000 dollars.

But then the training

of course is also

very intensive

and very expensive.

I will say this,

it's not so expensive to start

in aerobatics, it's only

when you get into

serious competition later.

Not only money,

but also a lot of time.

[Pemberton]

I'm on the road from January

through November with air shows.

And then adding a world level

completion and training

to the mix, it leaves me with

very little spare time.

[Rihn-Harvey]

It requires a lot of

dedication and a lot of

sacrifice from other parts

of your life and family.

This is one of my favorite

air show moves.

We're gonna roll up,

roll up, roll up, roll up.

We're gonna transition into

an upright flat spin.

Spinning down, spinning

down, spinning down.

It's kind of wild, but it's

actually gentle, it really is.

- Okay.

- I wouldn't kid you

about that.

But you might want to brace

your head okay.

You might want to brace

your head.

Ready, here we go, we're

going down first.

We're just going down

right here.

Going down approaching

show center.

Coming up into that.

Wow!

Pulling up 7 G's.

Rolling to the right,

to the left.

Rolling, rolling, rolling

to the right.

Rolling to the right.

You still with me?

-I'm here.

-There we go.

Oh my God!

Flat spin to the left.

Woo!

[chuckles]

That's one of my

favorite ones.

You can relax.

We'll take a break here.

We can edit out all the break

scene stuff no problem at all.

How you doing?

Doing okay, that

one hit me.

I thought it might've.

We have such skilled

men and women

and as far as figuring out

who the biggest competition is,

oh that's a tough one.

My competitors are

all my friends,

so it makes it extra fun.

My biggest competition I would

say the Russians and the French.

Biggest competitor will be

the Russians for sure.

And I think this year,

American Team

will be very strong

as well.

My biggest competitor

is myself.

This is my first World

Championship.

And my expectation if

I do really well,

I'll be in maybe the middle

or the lower middle.

The last World Championship

I was second

so the guy in front of

me was Svetlana.

The aim is to one day

go past her.

Well my expectations for the

World Aerobatic Championship

is of course first place.

I now go to the competition,

especially to this one,

I'm just so happy

to be here.

This is the best thing, I meet

people from all over the world,

I see old friends,

I make new friends.

And just to be part of it

is very special

and it's a privilege I think

because it is a select group

of pilots at the World

Championships.

[tense music]

This is the last day

of the competition,

the big showdown for female

pilots to become

the 2013 World

Aerobatic Champion.

Who will take home the title?

[tense music continues]

[tense music continues]

[Rihn-Harvey] Any of the women

at any time can win.

[Andronicou] You need teamwork,

you need structure.

You need discipline, drive,

determination.

All of those things to

get the top result.

I don't really see the

difference between men

and women, especially

in aerobatics.

[upbeat music]

The top women

pilots are fantastic pilots.

[soft music]

[cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

[in French]

What makes a good champion?

That's a good question.

What does it take to be

a champion in aerobatics?

A lot of people talk about

natural skills.

That is only a very small part

of becoming a champion.

[Houdier in French]

Sometimes it is disappointing,

because there is only one

champion of the world.

Sometimes you can be so close,

at the end, it is perseverance

that ends up winning.

[Rihn-Harvey]

I just feel that I've gained

so much from aviation

and hopefully I've helped to

pave a path so that it's easier

for other young

women to get where I am

and beyond where I am.

[applause]

Ladies and gentlemen,

the winner of the

2013 World Aerobatic Women's

Championship is...

Aude Lemordant.

[Berger in French]

At the last French

Championships,

we spoke with Aude.

She told me "I feel, this year,

I can be the world champion."

I think she felt the improvement

in her abilities.

She realized that being

world champion was possible.

I'm having a hard time

realizing I won.

I'm very happy because

I can say "I did it!"

But, it is a bit difficult

to believe the reality.

And now I say to myself,

"So what now?"

[Rihn-Harvey]

Someday a woman will be the

overall World Champion,

I believe.

If they hang in there

long enough.

Okay, I am going out.

I could have the speed there.

Oh my gosh.

Awesome job, awesome

job Connie.

I can't believe I did it.

How you doin'?

[soft music]

Oh, I have slipped the surly

bonds of Earth and danced

the skies on laughter-

silvered wings.

Sunward I've climbed.

And joined the tumbling mirth

of sun-split clouds.

And done a hundred things

you have not dreamed of.

Wheeled and soared and swung

high in the sunlit silence.

Hovering there.

I've chased the shouting

wind along.

And flung my eager craft

through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delirious

burning blue.

I've topped the wind-swept

heights with easy grace.

Where never lark,

or even eagle flew.

And while with silence lifting

mind I've trod the high,

untrespassed sanctity

of space.

Put out my hand

and touched the face of God.

Testing testing,

one, two, three.

My name's Melissa Pemberton.

No your name is

Rex Pemberton.

This is about the level

that we were talking at.

[soft music]

That was so surreal!

[music continues]

Oh my god that was

incredible.

I feel like I'm watching

a movie, it's not real.
