It’s well known the current Sec of the Air Force is an affirmative action airhead.

“It’s well known the current Sec of the Air Force is an affirmative action airhead.”

I offer the following. . .

Shelia Widnall, former Sec AF under Clinton, she was a MIT aeronautical researcher of some sort. I was in the Pentagon at the time and had to attend a “Women in Aviation” dinner of some sort. . .sat next to Widnall.

No kidding, the conversation went like this:

SW: “I see you have wings. Are you are a pilot?”

Me: “No ma’am, I am not”

SW” (Slightly confused look)

Me: “I am a FIGHTER pilot”

SW (after being taken slightly aback by the usual fighter pilot response to such a question): “Oh, what airplane did you fly?”

Me: “The last fighter I flew was the F-15E.”

SW: (a pause). . “Oh, the one with two tails?”

Me: “Yes, the one with two tails.”

No, she was not joking,. She was a serious as can be. The “one tail/two tail” characteristic was how my wife distinguished the F-15 from the F-16.
