1. She's not a Black woman, right? Huh...What is the demographic for Black women pilots?
Or even Hispanic and Asian? Basically minorities. Huh, interesting stuff there. This is pretty awesome. I'm off to read the article in depth.

Oh as a note, the point of my first question is because of the clip above.

5. That would be awesome. Maybe we could ask KO or RM to interview her.
I'm sure Rachel Maddow would love to have her on the show.

11. 'Petite'? I'd say she's small. So were the original astronauts. nt

8. one of the first female pilots
was Bessie Coleman, but I don't know at present. Female pilots of any persuasion are still rare enough: since many pilots of big planes have a military background, I'd expect to see more in the coming years as more women look at military careers.

13. Very true. Thanks for the link on Ms. Coleman.
It's tragic how she died but she live an extremely exciting and full life (for some) in a short span.

3. I think she was one of the Marine One pilots intereviewed on the
National Geographic channel's show about Marine One. They also did a show about Air Force One. Both were great; definitely worth a watch.

4. Let's just hope she isn't menstruating when she's flying the President around.

What makes some guys think that they look good in a thong? I don't care how good looking they may be (not in this case, yuck!!), I just don't want to see their hanging package.

19. Sometimes, Captain Hilts, even 'alert' isn't enough. I opposed the death penalty, until today.

15. I had to post a note here
to give props to my hero and avatar, Amelia Earhart. She is one unspoken hero who worked and died for our country.
