sky_king Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) The Thunderbirds do aerial acrobatics now? Is this some kind of consolidation with Tops in Blue for a cost savings measure? Looks like she also rode along on a JSTARS mission. That's nearly as death defying! Edited July 1, 2014 by sky_king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurelySerious Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The Thunderbirds do aerial acrobatics now? Isn't that just nomenclature for trying to use a piddle pack on a pond crossing with a poopy suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 A recent New York Times profile said that as a staffer for the House Committee on Armed Services, she was nicknamed "sledge" for the sledgehammer approach she took to the job. wat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach braff Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 She seemed to have a good sense of humor about it. Also notable that she jumped in for a regular practice, not a special flight…so she experienced what the T-Birds & F-16 can do without causing extra funds or (too much) additional hassle on the unit. I like this SECAF. zb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
