Isn't it strange that this story is not in MSM, but during Clinton's reign this would be front page news!

Amazing news. My unit has it's first female in flight school right now.

The real surprise here is that LTC McSally made quite a stir some years ago fighting against Islamic dress for military women stationed in Saudi Arabia. Guess bygones are bygones.

The first female fighter squadron commander recently took her A-10 unit from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, AZ, into combat.

Excuse me, but the A-10 is an attack aircraft, not a fighter, so wouldn't that be the first female *attack* squadron?

I have met this woman and listened to her speak. She is one hell of a type "A" fighter pilot and as a Korea and Vietnam USAF pilot I would be proud and willing to fly her wing anytime. She's one tough gal.

Well, I can think of two reasons why it would've been news; both Bill and Hil would've LOVED to jump a female pilot, LOL!

As we used to say in Junior High, "Girls Rule, Boys Drool." ;)

Seriously, I'm glad to see this. :)

In USAF lingo, "KC" means "Killer Chicks" -- epitomized by Captain Kim Campbell, who brought her shot-up A-10 back home -- with the hydraulic controls shot away.

For a moment, I thought it was "KC" who had been made squadron commander...

I salute her and her ability, I know I can't do that. It just scares me to think what would happen if she is shot down and captured. Things can happen to a woman that don't happen to men.

God bless her and Lord protect her.

Curious ... could this be KC? You know Killer Chick ... who was interviewed by ABC's Diane Sawyer in the early stages of the Iraq war in 2003. She subsequently had her Wart Hog riddled by anti-aircraft on a mission near Baghdad and returned to her base making an emergency landing without hydraulics.

McSally, wasn't that the female pilot from the "Boy From Syracuse" incident?
