Way overdue. I hope women continue to show their abilities in this area.

DH said she probably makes for a better pilot.

I guess the World would probably be in a better place with women in charge.

She is indeed beautiful. I'm glad she was given this chance, and happy she excelled.

During WW2 women flew with the Air Transport Auxiliary in Britain. This was a civilian ferrying service. They were exceptional women, flying sometimes in combat situations without armament since Britain had enemy aircraft in its skies. Some of these women were American. They flew every aircraft, including 3 women qualified to fly the heavy bombers (which women in the American Air force were not permitted to do.)

Much of this flying was seat of your pants, with only a small pocket sized book of info with a page of pertinent info for each aircraft. They received the same pay as their male counterparts, held the same rank.

Many, many women fliers came before this young woman, and the other women now flying military aircraft, and to say they would be proud to see this is an understatement. It's about time is right.
