Not sure I know what "nail it" means in this context.  If a pilot can't fly in formation they have no business in the cockpit.  It is a flyover not a Blue Angels or Thunderbirds performance.

I don't know, let's start with not crashing and burning into the stadium as has been postulated here?


Might want to take in your sarcasm meter for a recalibration on Monday.  I don't think anyone actually thinks this is even the most remote possibility in real life.

Who the heck pays attention to the gender makeup of flyover jets? They fly over, and then the game starts. What does it matter whether it's all women or all men? Nobody cares.

How many black female pilots do you think there are?

"Women comprise just 7 percent of the 48,308 active duty, National Guard and reserve pilots now serving in the military. Of those 3,314 female pilots, only 72 identified as African American or Black, according to military data obtained by McClatchy."

Honest question. Would she want to be added to a flyover because of her gender? I’d imagine the rank and file hate this kind of shit.

Anything offered to her based solely upon gender is ignored.

Were she ordered to fly it would be different; much mutterings of “this is bullshit”.

That’s very cool and congrats to you both.

I don’t think many would have an issue if women were selected because they had earned it. The issue for me is the team was selected based on whatever merit the Commodore or Skipper or whoever chose. And then the SECNAV specifically said no to those deserving dudes and selected unquestionable less qualified pilots due to their gender. Less qualified because one had a hook slap at the ship and another is super junior and a guy with the same experience would never have been selected.

Also, I wonder if day one of a war with China if the first sorties will be women?

Not directed to you or your daughter……I’m just rambling in general. I just wish people could be judged based on merit and not other things.

Generally speaking flying against China, Russia, or other enemies is what they live for.

They would really love to get to Africa and address some of the organizations wandering around there kidnapping and murdering schools full of kids.

I can see that.  It’s not like they get box seats at the game after the fly by.  It just a mission from their point of view.  Patsy Schroeder approved though.

Another teenage level garbage post that should join where your pizza should have ended up.

The overwhelming majority of GD simply wants individuals to ascend based upon their merits. Human beings are flawed, so that process was never without defect, but it was largely the foundation for building the greatest nation the world has ever seen. We as a nation seem to be parting from that process to a slightly greater degree every year.

They're Navy, they're aircraft qualified, they're female, that's all the Navy wanted.  This is the 50th anniversary of female aviators so that's why they're doing this.  

One of the pilot's interviewed said she's never done a slow pass over a populated area and she's "very nervous".  Good luck with that, sportsball fans!
