Congratulations Captain Satz! What an accomplishment, and by age 29, too!

I hope she is capable and not just a diversity promotion (there have been some of those in the past, and the results were tragic).

I wonder what she looks like in a bathing suit.

Very trendy. 29 year olds should be creating a home, and having babies.

I read about her the other day, and what I found interesting is they're going straight from basic pilot training to the F-35.

With the AV-8B, it was found that if the pilot spent some time in the Hornet, getting used to staying ahead of a jet before moving to the Harrier, there were a lot fewer 'Carolina Lawn Darts'.

Fly-by-wire, the great equalizer.

Our friends’ daughter has flown for the Navy for a long time. I have pictures of her when she was about eight coloring pictures in our house. Who knew she’d grow up to do that?

Fantastic accomplishment. I have the utmost respect for any fighter pilot. It takes, guts, brains and persistence.

Kudos to this lady!

First flight is “by yourself.” A woman would say that. LOL

It is a thrill. We called it “solo.” My first flight in an F-84F was solo and my instructor took off as my wingman. All flights were solo, they never built a two seater.

A long time ago, I have to add. LOL

Are we supposed to be happy about this? Turns out the first female Navy combat pilot was not well trained and died in a crash. Diversity strikes again.
