For the American Airforce the future is now. This spot, developed by Austin, Texas-based GSD&M Idea City, shows the fly boys and girls on a recue mission in a not-too-distant, disaster-ridden future, saving people from a collapsing bridge. The ad goes on to show that though the Airforce’s capabilities may seem a product of science fiction, they’re not as futuristic as one might think.
