Anyone who can fly an F-16, deserves respect. I doubt many of us could do it. My son will soon enter USAF RPA pilot training, but there are only two aircraft in the USAF inventory that he can fly.
So... which male pilot puts himself at risk to cover her ass in a dogfight...?
Women do NOT belong in combat.
End of story.
A good friend of mine from my ROTC days went to flight school and ended up flying the KC-10 tankers. He was so tall that his sitting height placed his head above the canopy piercer so he could not fly fighters.
Even that is wrong.
Wrong location.
My sister kept the fighters in working order.

Well, fortunately, you’re opinion isn’t the end all/be all.
I’m a Caucasian skinned dude with Sickle Cell. Am I “not quite black”? Yup. But I’m also “not quite white”.
I’m what’s called, a Human. We’re a mix of different ethnic groups, but we’re all the same on the inside.
Good for her. I preferred to be inside, out of the elements. I remember six people, 5 men and one woman, who cross trained into air traffic control, from the aircraft maintenance field. Three of them did ok, and the other three, including the black female, washed out, and were returned to their maintenance jobs. I am sure they were good at fixing aircraft, they just couldn’t figure out how to control them. 😁 Not everyone is cut out for it. Sometimes I wondered if I was. 🤔
