This has got to be so inspiring for the younger generation today. 👍

[@guyray1504]

In the 20 years in the U.S A.F. I always wanted to jump out of a perfectly good airplane but never got the chance. Some call me Crazy but I think I'm just think it would be a thrill. I just turned 70 and had my first helicopter ride about two years ago. May be hope for me yet. LOL

I worked on Tripple Nickle aircraft while stationed at Udorn RTAFB. They flew the F4D aircraft in those days. While stationed at Ubon and Udorn, they had racked up over 25 mig kills. I left Udorn in October of 1968.

Here in Santiago, Chile, in the National Aviation Museum there is a Phantom F4 that was flown by Captain Walter Radecker and Shot down a Mig 21 on the Operation Bolo.

[@mattheweast5339]

If you watch really, really closely you can see she sits in the back seat...

[@JaxomUK]

The F16 comes in two varieties, Single seat and Dual Seat, she is climbing into the rear seat of a dual seat configuration (F-16D) which is the weapons Officer, not the Pilot.

This is probably her summer assignment because she has an interest in aviation. I have a child in a service academy too, and they were able to do similar activities. And has had a chance to fly as well but has has no interest in it ... sigh ... too desk like ... whatever ... lol

During World War II, a native Pole, Franciszek Gabryszewski, flew, among others, on the p47 thunderborld, he turned out to be the best pilot of the US Air Force in Europe. He defeated / shot down 28 German planes. He reached the rank of colonel. At least that's what the Pentagon said. But that's not the most important thing in this case. Well, his daughter-in-law has reached the rank of general and each of the ladies-pilots can do it.

That’s so awesome for her! I pray she gets a single seat.

[@ronaldnichols928]

they are not allowed to fly single seaters as a cadet. They have not been trained on the aircraft. All single seater aircraft have a two seater version. They are not allowed to fly a single seater version until they have been certified by an instructor pilot. This does not happen until they become active duty Air Force. Even the Thunderbirds have a two seater F16 version. The Thunderbirds often take dignitaries on rides in the two seater. When the Thunderbirds travel, their announcer flies the two seater.

[@TheC1kabar]

@@ronaldnichols928 I have a daughter her age, and I understand how it works. I was an instructor at Chandler and Sheppard. My point is that I hope the aspiring student gets her wings in a single seat platform in the end, and that she has a distinguished career.
