Hi, I'm LGen Eric Kenny,

5
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:20,270
the Commander of the Royal
Canadian Air Force. Here we go.

6
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:23,065
"Why is celebrating the RCAF
Centennial so important?"

7
00:00:23,065 --> 00:00:25,651
Because this is your Air Force,
it's an opportunity to highlight

8
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:28,737
our history as well
as our future.

9
00:00:28,737 --> 00:00:31,740
"What's the best advice
you've ever received?"

10
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,534
Be an active listener and learn.

11
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:35,911
"The RCAF has likely taken you
around the world.

12
00:00:35,911 --> 00:00:37,496
Which country has been
your favourite?"

13
00:00:37,496 --> 00:00:39,456
Italy. It was
my first deployment;

14
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,708
they have great pizza
and coffee.

15
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,877
"What would you tell someone
looking to pursue

16
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:46,380
a career in the Air Force?"
The future is very bright.

17
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:49,675
We're modernizing, this is
the time to join the Air Force.

18
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:53,303
"What lesson has been learned in
the last 100 years of the RCAF?"

19
00:00:53,303 --> 00:00:56,849
Technology changes,
but people are our foundation,

20
00:00:56,849 --> 00:00:59,726
and it's our people that really
deliver operations every day.

21

"Top Gun or The Aviator?"

22
00:01:03,605 --> 00:01:07,025
Of course, Top Gun.
Top Gun 2 is just as good.

00:01:07,025 --> 00:01:09,903
"What is the most rewarding
part of being a leader?"

24
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,447
Being able to see teams
come together to develop,

25
00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:15,868
and ultimately, to excel.

26
00:01:15,868 --> 00:01:18,787
"What is the vision
for the RCAF Centennial?"

27
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:22,207
It's to commemorate our history,
to recognize our people,

28
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:24,626
and to inspire for the future.

29
00:01:24,626 --> 00:01:26,962
"If you could have an unlimited
supply of anything,

30
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:29,131
what would it be?"
That would be more people.

31
00:01:29,131 --> 00:01:32,926
People to be able to deliver
on RCAF operations.

00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:35,262
"What is your favourite
aircraft to fly?"

33
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:37,472
For me, it's the F-18 Hornet.
I flew it for 18 years.

34
00:01:37,472 --> 00:01:40,976
But, as the Commander of the
Air Force, I love all aircraft.

35
00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:42,728
"What are the top
three characteristics

36
00:01:42,728 --> 00:01:44,646
of a good leader?"
For me it's all about trust,

37
00:01:44,646 --> 00:01:48,692
so if you have character
and competence, you get trust.

38
00:01:48,692 --> 00:01:51,445
"What's in store for the RCAF
in the next century?"

Obviously more
technology changes,

00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,907
the space domain
is going to grow,

41
00:01:54,907 --> 00:01:56,909
but continued excellence

00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,834
which was to Aviano Air Force
Base in Italy,

45
00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:08,003
