She's the 1st pilot, booms. Met her at the BX when they were at Scott AFB in Aug. Unfortunately didn't have the camerain my pocket. She seemed like a nice person. She flies #3. She was with #2 and he was a right prick. IMHO, of course.

Like 30mm mentioned, she's the first pilot.

from the interview
<b>Women have served in the Thunderbirds since 1974, just not in a pilot capacity, Major Malachowski said. Of the 130 officers and enlisted personnel on the Thunderbird team, 15 are women.</b>

Thats, A/C,C/P,Flying C/C,DCC and ACC,and the entire Medical staff on board. Some of you remember the first "Female Fighter pilots"
