Congratulations and thank you for being an inspiration to other girls and young ladies. I am a retired Boom Operator (1995) and I remember getting the first female co-pilot in the squadron on my crew while stationed at Minot AFB, ND. Back then it was 4 of us on the plane. She was from St. Petersburg, FL, and we too did a show of force spending a week there and flying missions from there. I’ll never forget her and her husband who was B-52 pilot. We had some great flight times and alert times. SAC (Strategic Air Command) was the way to go! The KC-135 is still the best plane in the Air Force even at 67 years old.
