Recruiters and subject matter experts made approximately 35,000 direct engagements, with approximately 350,000 indirect interactions, via their presence at Fan Fest over six days. Nearly 5,000 people rode Rapid Strike, and there were numerous broadcast and print stories covering the Air Force presence, including ESPN, local coverage and Arizona Tech Beat.
