Impressive brief. Keep up the great work Captain Katie Higgins!!

[@StormLaker]

Huge amount of respect for Capt. Higgins, we need more women like her in this country!

[@taz9609]

we need more women like her in the world! Only solution to empower them and treat them as equals from the moment they are born.

[@richielamb2733]

She got where she is with hard work and dedication, I’m a British veteran,seen how hard women have to work to prove themselves as an equals,good on her 👍

[@maxwelter9545]

Well at least now we all know who the twat is lol

[@jleif7736]

She got where she is by working just as hard as the next fighter pilot.

[@merlina995]

Capt. Higgins and her husband were the blue angels pilots. Her family background polished her until she is became as she is today. Her dedication to serve this country and her career it just amazing. Kudos Capt. Higgins!👌👍

[@jimtwohig7414]

Should’ve done this elsewhere! Too much ambient noise!!! Couldn’t understand over half of her talk! A good sound-tech would have anticipated that!

[@md4840]

Captain Katie Higgins is not only a female pilot, but also a true American Hero and combat proficient, Thanks for all you do !!

[@windshearahead7012]

She swallowed the script. It’s impossible to remember all that.

[@whiteribbonman1]

She has lived it and knows her job really well!

[@roccop3760]

How is it impossible to remember that? Are you really that bad at the English language? Their lives depend on performing the routine within certain specifications...of course they memorize exactly what they’re supposed to be doing. The f-18 pilots have a far more complex routine, and they memorize the entire thing. That’s their job!!

[@markaliano8563]

I was very impressed with the brief....love to hear pilots speak with aviation terminology!

[@tannerfinley4845]

You probably dont care but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@tannerfinley4845]

@Karson Conor thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@tannerfinley4845]

@Karson Conor it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@karsonconor904]

@Tanner Finley No problem :D

[@renerich]

Amazing speech, just love her.

[@patrickevans574]

that's not a crew brief. She may call it that, but shes telling the passengers what she's gonna do, not briefing the crew.

[@jakeshifflett8922]

Love that you can hear Sean D Tucker in the background

[@Matt-mo8sl]

I LOVES me some lady pilots, especially the ones who are in charge !

[@lidianeto2501]

Wonderful!

[@user-nj1gs1gf6g]

Captain Katie Higgins Greetings of love and appreciation from the heart to the heart May God bless you with all the love and goodness

[@RelaxingPeacefulMusicChannel]

Awesome!

[@pizzasubs]

in this video here is this the 1st Fat Albert plane, cause since this was recorded 8 years ago, if correct they actually purchased a 2nd Fat Albert plane, so if this is actually the 1st one, has this one been officially retired or does the team still use this one for lets say transportation purposes but not for any more aerobatic performances????

[@porkrinds9572]

I’m in love with that girl

[@raymondlarimore2341]

There is also a Russian female aerobatic pilot that is pretty awesome also. That's not to take anything away from this girl. I love here too.

[@davidbabcock1231]

Yea she is beautiful

[@owensweetland342]

Ah...can you go over the middle part?

[@arkadious9320]

First part of the briefing is straight memorization, prior to being accepted for training for the job she had to have that memorized.

[@marianomruiz]

Ok but why the boots on the left and right don't have their cover on???

[@Aryajet]

I admire Captain Katie Higgins. Hope to meet her one day. Eye Eye Captain

[@Aryajet]

Thanks I stand corrected. BTW English is not my mother language

[@drumdude46]

Impeccable presentation. 'Yes Ma'am! .... Total Respect!

[@MrBroomy]

Impressive!

[@jeristone8811]

Wow! Lots of pressure on this professional! She did a good job!

[@dwaynebontrager3376]

I love you Katie 💓

[@sshannon1948]

Bravo to her...

[@jimmygadd]

its so deep down in the rutine, she just don't don't stop talking, these guys and girls know exactly what they are doing! Best demonstration team in the world, all of them, jets or props and ground!

[@ricardobernalcavero5289]

Capitan Katie Higgins,dele un saludo muy especial a su amiga SHAYE LYNNE HAVER,y gracias por su ayuda que NO llegó a su destino

[@michaelderamo1115]

The funny thing is I've never flown in my life but understood everything in her brief. But I guess that's from going to school for aviation mechanics.

[@hallandrum6157]

I sure would like to fly in fat Albert

[@bwagenberg]

How does a plane back up without a push truck?

[@jessenguyen]

Propeller aircraft are able to change their Angle on propellers which allows them reverse thrust

[@lornayoung6947]

I like her!

[@882952]

To hell with Cardi B, THIS woman right here, giving little girls a standard to reach for. Marine Corps Cpt., AND member of the Blue Angels team.

[@mrcarlo1966]

Watching this I realize how completely stupid I am.I couldn’t possibly remember a fraction of that.That is one smart lady!

[@ChironZore]

I watched a movie while I was at work today.

[@eduardo9788]

Meu Deus como fala, já estou tonto

[@antunvidos]

Super Katie.Byutifel.

[@kevinmadore1794]

"It'll look like we're gonna crash, but I promise we're not going to." Love it!!!! She's a bad-ass!

[@debbielocklin7563]

I love y’all❤❤❤❤

[@sammysouth8372]

she is just the cutest. lucky is her husband

[@three11forlife]

sorry. missed what she said... entirely. lol

[@whiteribbonman1]

Stop touching yourself and pay attention!

[@AC-hl7pc]

She's a bad ass....

[@pkelly3463]

Polished ❤

[@TheNavigator2346]

When do the oxygen masks come down?

[@bubbawoods2805]

God damn that gets me excited…

[@curtvona4891]

They shouldn't fat shame that beautiful bird.

[@Kjellberg6762]

Just an FYI she left the Blue Angels in 2018

[@lordscribnuts]

they only tour with the angels for a few years

[@ronellomaghanoy4539]

Hello❤

[@1965super]

Katie I love you....😍😁😎✌

[@leandro50163]

Son robotitos esta gente

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Everybody got that?

[@freddy7700]

She is a great Lady.

[@abdosaber5780]

Hi

[@Sadik15B]

I dont get the rank, she is a marine and 2bars is Lt, why does she say captain?? I dont see a bird

[@joeblow5037]

2 bars in Marines is a Captain (2nd Lt, 1st Lt, Captain) as a squid she would be a Lt (Ensign, Lt Jg, Lt)

[@ethanb-c5729]

What’s Jada

[@MrGrip75]

Ethan B-C J.A.T.O. Jet Assisted Take Off

[@MrJwarren100]

Marine, Pilot, Cute.....I'm in love

[@ericlakota1847]

I never knew c130 hade reverse

[@ProducerCliff]

This is not a preflight briefing, this is a preflight nag..

[@mickemike2148]

LMAO! :D

[@maxwelter9545]

lol yak yak yak yak yak I totally agree.

[@HighMo]

You morons.....she didn't decide to do this on her own - the Marine Corp and US Navy requires it.

[@DavidP747]

You are an idiot, I am sorry your life is defined by taking orders from your wife. All pilots (male or female) give the exact same briefing.

[@shylabutters8886]

I got to go in that fat Albert

[@ttttek6318]

Veli Good ALI us

[@danmaltby3271]

She is cute

[@Lenoch_]

Air Force was not and still has not gotten rid of the H-model

[@paloma1238]

My kind of plots Been there

[@paloma1238]

She married a blue angle pilot

[@carbonking53]

She talks to damn fast! Briefing should be paced and deliberate

[@hiropro2746]

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WITH A BRAIN. I've just spent 40 minutes watching this hotdog crew on YT almost crash on two occasions. Pensacola and Melbourne 2015. I blame the half assed lackadaisical attitude on Major Dusty Cook and it might cost the crew their life someday.

[@jdbspeedofflight]

Having gotten the press ride in 2014. She was definitely slower than the brief I experienced!

[@carloslvaldez7239]

carbonking53 I understood everything she said, & talked about

[@carloslvaldez7239]

carbonking53 Uhhhh, she was deliberate in her profile narration

[@dennistedder3384]

You've never been in the Marines. "Should" be? Who are you? How many hours? Junior?

[@arr64lima63]

Captain Katie has to work twice as hard to be considered to be half as good as a man. It's not fair, but things are slowly changing.

[@ckmoore101]

Idiotic statement. The 70's called, and would like their misogyny back. Strong capable women have been commanding aircraft for 3 decades now. Stop getting your social education from movies.

[@dustyflair]

she's hot!!!

[@paloma1238]

She can be my boss

[@AviationNut]

I would have laughed if she would mess with the guy's head and said she doesn't know what the stall speed of her aircraft is. I wonder if they would still want to go for a flight?. LOL

[@iliasstaridas8005]

Background noise is all the money

[@neldasmith4811]

CAN'T HEAR !

[@bernabecaneta6154]

God Bless American eagles thaks for support Ukraine soldiers and NATO nation from phillipens Bernabe asid çañeta castellejos zambales

[@UncleBoratagain]

Pre flight chat, “If I cannot see a clear outline of your scrotal sac or vulva go back to your tailors”.

[@apburner1]

Is she the inflight entertainment?

[@WH-um2gx]

No. But a dicklet like you would be.

[@irgski]

Does she really know what she’s saying? Sounds like she’s just repeating something she memorized....

[@jimmymac63]

I guarantee she is probably 100% better at her job than you are at yours! First, she is a Marine....enough said right there...Second, as if she really needs it, but she is part of an elite demonstration team...That means she is better than all of the other pilots who were in line for the job she holds! OOOhhhrrrraaaa Semper Fi!

[@dennistedder3384]

It's all memotised.

[@nickc8819]

irgki, ...bet her IQ is higher than yours dummy

[@roccop3760]

irgski I mean I guess you’re right in the sense that she memorized exactly what to say and says the same thing every time but she ABSOLUTELY knows exactly what she is talking about

[@jjguerra]

Stand still

[@Bayu-xg6tx]

great👍..you speak too fast like you flies..beuty capten..

[@davidcole333]

Seriously...she's obviously a great aviator and Marine, but slooooow down. I'm also not sure what that modified parade rest with a mixed in eyes right the six behind the captain are doing is about. This is just too staged for the camera. I suspect this is just a "for show" briefing.

[@renatovonschumacher3511]

She gets on my nerves.

[@anthonyzanca3641]

Where are the guns, show me the guns.....if your not Spectre your not sh

[@maxwelter9545]

I wish her well but glad she is off the team so we do not have to keep hearing about a female Blue Angel pilot from the liberal, politically correct shit media.
