Gee, let me guess…..the first caucasion women lgbtqidfc to be a blue angels pilot. Always with the identity politics.
Best place to watch the whole Blue Angels is the Torpedo Pier right next to the bridge.
Who cares? People who act like women doing stuff is some major accomplishment must have a REALLY low opinion of the abilities of women if they think this is a big deal.
But does she fly the new tuk-tuk formation ?
Too bad I have to be out of town. It's always nice to see Blue Angels again.
How much does it cost to fuel the Blue Angels?
Depending on the model, a single F/A-18 fighter jet costs the Department of Defense approximately $17,838 to $21,288 to fly per hour, according to the U.S. Department of Defense's fiscal year 2022 reimbursement rates (a figure that includes estimates of maintenance, operations and crew costs).
