Female warrior pilots? Thats nothing new

Never said it was. ... these were day fighters. Effectively so is the A-10. Other than the use of night vision goggles, it's a day fighter. No radar. Only IR guided self defense missiles.

This one was brought back to base by a Lady Hog Driver, after a little sojourn over Baghdad.

The driver of that Hog

(then)Captain Kim, "Killer Chick"/KC, Campbell

Bravo for her!

There was an A-10 in Desert Storm that took a direct rocket hit on the wing and it came back. IIRC It cut two of the spars and blew half of the wing skins off.

And then there is the F-15 that came back without one wing (Israeli)
