she was just a victim of a well-known deficiency in the F-14’s Pratt & Whitney engine.
If it's such a well-known deficiency, shouldn't such a good pilot have avoided the problem? They report this like it wasn't a screw-up, but I think it was a screw-up. And let's be clear: everybody screws up. But if it's a woman, then it's the engine's fault.
Ten dead pilots in two years should tell you something.
It was not a deficiency of the engine. It was a characteristic of Naval aircraft. The Navy always insists on having two engines because pilots cannot bail out over ocean as easily as an air force pilot can bail out over land.
Two engines generally has one on each side with air intakes on each side.
What fake female "fighter" pilot #1 did was to shadow her engine's air intake by getting the fuselage moving off center from her direction of travel, this caused a flame out because the engine was deprived of it's air stream because the fuselage was in the way.
This is a known issue on all naval fighter aircraft and the right engine could have flamed out just as easily if she had turned the other direction at low speed.
She should not have tried to turn at such a slow speed and she should have gone full power with the remaining engine in an effort to recover.
They passed her through training because of pressure from President piece of sh*t.
