- Wonderful to see you again, General.
- You, too, Colonel. Mrs Hall.
1:16:04
- And, of course, you know Major Thorn.
- Thorn.

(deep sigh)
1:16:29
- Tank crew ready, sir.
- Very good, Bilko. General.
1:16:32
Master Sergeant Bilko.
It's an honour to meet you.
1:16:34
- You look terrific! Have you lost weight?
- Who is this?
1:16:38
Members of Congress, General Tennyson,
colleagues from the defence industries...
1:16:43
...distinguished guests, welcome.
1:16:46
The weapon system
you are about to see today...
1:16:49
...can be called the world's first
truly all-terrain assault vehicle...
1:16:55
...which I'm proud to say was developed
entirely in-house, here at Fort Baxter.
1:17:00
I give you the armoured attack platform
to lead American defence forces...
1:17:05
...into the 21st century.
The HTX-1 hovertank.
1:17:20
Water and rough terrain can stop
an ordinary M1 or APC...
1:17:24
...but the hovertank can literally rise
above these obstacles.
1:17:27
And that is the capability
we will show you here today.
1:17:31
Hovertank, you are looking good.
1:17:35
Hovertank, fire when ready. Hoo-ah!
