Blue Angels select first female fighter jet demonstration pilot

Most men cannot do that type of flying, either. She was chosen for the squad's training, and still has to pass that " intensive five-month training program..."

The Navy is not going to risk highly-trained personnel and multimillion-dollar aircraft just to look "woke." :rolleyes:

Correct. This is what could happen if less-than-qualified-pilots are part of an airshow team:

67 people on the ground died.

The Ramstein air show disaster occurred on Sunday, 28 August 1988 during the Flugtag '88 airshow at USAF Ramstein Air Base near Kaiserslautern, West Germany. Three aircraft of the Italian Air Force display team collided during their display, crashing to the ground in front of a crowd of about 300,000 people. There were 70 fatalities (67 spectators and three pilots) and 346 spectators sustained serious injuries in the resulting explosion and fire, and hundreds more had minor injuries.[1] At the time it was the deadliest air show accident in history until a 2002 crash at the Sknyliv air show that killed 77.

The Sknyliv air show disaster occurred on Saturday, 27 July 2002, when a Ukrainian Air Force Sukhoi Su-27 piloted by Volodymyr Toponar and co-piloted by Yuriy Yegorov crashed during an aerobatics presentation at Sknyliv airfield near Lviv, Ukraine. The accident killed 77 people and injured 543, 100 of whom were hospitalized. It is the deadliest air show accident in history.

A much higher percentage of men than women could do the job. It has to do with things like testosterone.
I do hope she genuinely is qualified and she's didn't get the job due to "woke". That would indeed be dangerous for her and others.
 
Why do you deny biology? Men are in general more physically able and more aggressive than women. That's why there's men and women divisions in sports. Women can't compete with men and have any hope of winning.

WTF does genitalia have to do with flying aircraft? Do you even know how to fly? Do you have even the faintest fucking clue what's involved, Sawyer? Or are you just picking dingleberries out of your ass to make yourself feel superior to women? Jews? African-Americans?

Patty Wagstaff (née Patricia Rosalie Kearns Combs; born September 11, 1951)[1] is an American aviator and U.S. national aerobatic champion....

...In 1996, Wagstaff was the top-scoring US pilot at the World Aerobatics Championship. That year, she was also the first person to win the Charlie Hillard Trophy, awarded to the highest scoring U.S. pilot at the World Aerobatic Championships.

 
Is she transgender?

:thup:

And why have the wokesters dropped the term Birthing Person in this case. They're just going to confuse Justice Jackson.

And why aren't Dems accusing her of being a White Supremacist. We all know the Democrats still hate U.S. soldiers.
 
Lt. Amanda Lee was selected to be a F/A-18E/F demonstration pilot along with Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Zimmerman, a release from the Blue Angels states. While Lee has been selected, she will still need to complete an intensive five-month training program with the Blue Angels, which all new members are required to complete.

The F/A-18E/F is one of the six aircraft that fly during most of the Blue Angels demonstrations.

She is easy on the eyes.
As a flight simulator tech training fighter pilots I found women made better pilots than men in many areas.
 
Flying in general is not. Flying fighter jets definitely is.

Women can be just as physically, mentally, and psychologically qualified as men to be fighter pilots. We've had them since 1993.

But generally, most are not attracted to that type of job.

"WASP eventually flew 77 types of aircraft, including the P-38 and F-5, P-39, P-40, P-63, C-54, C-46, B-26 and B-24. Although ferrying was the first and principal duty of WASP, in 1943 women pilots were assigned to the Training Command where they gunnery towed targets and served as flight instructors."
 
So has America so I ask again what's the big deal about this Blue Angel pilot being a woman?

Dipshit cocksuckers like you are making the big deal, dumbass. You live on Mount Stupid.

In general I agree but there's some women that have man like personalities just as there's some men that are effeminate but not gay. Those that would celebrate this woman pilot for being able to do a mans job are mistaken if they think that means women in general could do it. She's a one-off. That is of course assuming she really can do the job and isn't a token offering which would be extremely dangerous to pilots she flies with

It has to do with things like hand-eye coordination, spatial ability, ability to withstand G forces, quick reflexes, ability to multitask, ability to stay highly focused, ability to work as a team (for the demonstration squad), physical fitness (not strength). Can you point out where men have more of these skills than women? Testosterone has nothing to do with any of these skills/abilities. Neither does estrogen.

Those are activities that involve physical strength. Flying a fighter jet is far more mental. There is no necessity to be aggressive when flying as a Blue Angel.

While I tend to agree, it's difficult to determine if the differences are cultural or genetic. I've trained a lot of foreign males and some, as a group, were clearly better than others. That's cultural. The worst were Saudis and Italians, the best Norwegians, Germans and Spaniards.

Part of the difference when training Third World pilots is that American kids grow up with tech; remote controls, now iPads and other electronic tech. Third World grows up like hillbillies without running water much less electricity.
