Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem
Got the chance to fly a C-130 out of our U.S. Coast Guard base in Kodiak, Alaska. Air Station Kodiak is essential to our mission success for reconnaissance and search & rescue in Alaska and the Arctic.

DHS head Kristi Noem flies C-130 while visiting Coast Guard’s far-flung Alaska station
Fly High, with MAGA Barbie!
A fun plane to jump from.
“Secretary Noem holds the yoke while the automatic flight director flies the C-130 aircraft.”

I like Kristi Noem, but let’s not do a pResident Autopen show.
💯.
I hope someone took pictures; truly a Kodiak moment.
So glad she was my governor!
I like her hands on approach. She seems to be exploring every aspect of her agency from the front lines on up. She could sit at her desk in a big fancy office in D.C. and tell everyone what to do but what would she know about the nuts and bolts doing that?
“ She’s a good plumber and a great electrician too.”

Well, she’s a lifelong farm girl so she just might have developed some expertise in those areas.
Two days after getting sworn in she was in the Bronx with an ICE crew for a pre-dawn raid.
Few days later she's at the southern border on horseback.
Whether you like her or not, she's a "do-er" like the rest of Trump's Cabinet.
bttt
Kristie has been doing a lot of photo ops and commercials. In every photo, her hair is perfect. Reminds me of her jobs ad campaign. She hasn’t gotten around to reforming DHS and cutting the bloated bureaucracy though.
Can she see over the steering wheel?
Never jumped from a 130. 123s and 141s.
I can’t remember if I did a jump out of the C-119, or the C-123, but it was one of them in 1972, to me the C-141 was luxurious the way it would just suck you out but I came to like exiting from the C-130 and the C-160 as more interesting and engaging, helicopters were a fun sensation for jumping.
My favorite too. At Benning we were using the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcars when I was in jump school, not so much fun. Good Days.
In 1972 at jump school do you think I would have jumped from the 119 or 123, it seems to me that I used to say the 119.
