  1. I watched that about the teen pilot and she is awesome. Talent like that is highly sought after especially these days when we can’t fill jobs with anything but unqualified and unmotivated.

    1. Yeah, normally if the news is on, I’m waiting for a weather report, but this story caught my ear.
      A pretty neat story. Something tells me she’s going to get recruited by somebody before she finishes her freshman year.

      1. She’s a good candidate for the program at West Point. I can just see her showing up for flight school at Fort Rucker and saying: “Can we just skip to the Check Ride?”

  2. There were a lot of “Teen Pilots” in the Nam … not all came home, some are here but not yet home. Today we send mothers with babies into combat, lot’s of them flying and doing a wonderful job. I have to wonder what will become of those mothers who never came home, and those who are home but haven’t yet come back.
    This young lady is a great role model for all, she’s living my dream … but then what do I now? I’m just an old fart.

    1. Lt. Mike, I appreciate your reminder of the teenage chopper pilots fifty years, and more, ago.

      There were a lot of “Teen Pilots” in the Nam … not all came home, some are here but not yet home.

      Indeed, some not yet home.

      Carry on

    2. It´s an american luxury, that they fight their wars far from home since the ACW.
      A luxury most if other societies didn´t´ve.
      Remember Lady Agnes and her sisters, look into besieged citie´s Carthage, Jerusalem, Rome, Paris or Samarkand and in more modern times the bombardment of Coventry and Leipzig.

      The same goes for campaigns of armies, woman didn´t wear a uniform but they were none the less part of war, participients of war and they´d children often enough babies

      How different would it be if the father didn´t come home yet ?
