    Not to take anything away from Major Wolfe, but she is NOT the first female USAF fighter pilot. That honor goes to Brig Gen Jeannie Leavitt, who became the Air Force's first female fighter pilot in 1993. Other than that, great video.

      It's like the 'first female football player" in the US. Every few years, a new one comes on the scene and they media has to claim she's "the first" so they can push "girl power" propaganda.

    Love your footage always! Question for any in the know: What is your take on single engine fighters vs. two engine fighters? Have a rockin' day!

    • @cowbertnet
      @cowbertnet Год назад +1

      The in-flight reliability of engines today is such that having 2 would increase maintenance cost (because for each plane you have to do engine maintenance 2x). The acquisition cost of the weapon system would also increase as engines are typically at least around 25% of the cost of the vehicle (F-35A ~ $80M, F135 engine ~ $20M). The main reason today for having 2 engines is performance (thrust). Until the 1990s, a single engine didn't provide more than 22000lb of wet (afterburner) thrust given sensible fan diameter sizes so now we have the technological convergence of being able to provide more power in a more reliable package that reduces total cost of acquisition & operation. The F135 is currently the most powerful afterburning fighter engine in the world, being able to provide over 43000lb of wet thrust. The GE F414 is used in single engine configuration by the JAS 39 Gripen, which has a similar weight to the F-16.

    I'm not saying this to virtue signal, I promise. But I genuinely love seeing women in these aircraft kicking so much ass. This is progress, both for the US and for the military. Yes, I know there have been female combat pilots for a couple of decades now. But it still fills me with joy every time I see them doing so well.

    She's a great pilot for sure. She's not the first female USAF pilot, they have been around since the 90's in the fighters (Jeannie M. Leavitt) for the USAF. She is the first solo demo female pilot. But the thunderbirds have had female pilots before her so she's not the first USAF female demo pilot.
