Say hello to Capt. Katie Higgins, USMC, the first female demonstration pilot in the history of the Blue Angels!

Before you whine about the fact that she's flying a C-130 vice an F/A-18, note that that is HER choice, as she loves the C-130.

Thats a big, coveted job in the Angels and you are the only pilot in the military who gets to REGULARLY use RATO pods on a C-130.

Congrats to her

A hornet pilot is in the works too, and no reason for there not to be... women are naturally more G tolerant than men

Blue Angels are better than the Thunderbirds. Go Navy!

Why whine about what plane she's flying? A team member is a team member.

If she is like Kelly McGillis, does it really count as a full woman?

Saw her on TV. Fits right in with most of the rest of the female Marine officers I knew. They scratch their balls more than I did.

As long as she gets someone else to park the thing for her.

Please, please tell us you haven't found your G spot.

Confucius say woman who fly airplane upside down have hairy crack up.

I would like to get Hitler's and Captain Ahab's take on women in military aviation

You mean T-man and Baldy..?

So how long before she takes out the entire squad while she turns left without signaling while putting on makeup?

The question, though, is how well does she ref football games and is she better than that ref from Finland.

Or texting..

Our plan is to be at Pensacola NAS next Wednesday morning to watch the Blue Angels practice before heading into Destin, FL. If you're remotely interested in military aircraft and you ever get the chance check out the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola.

A big freaking congrats to her

It would be awesome if they'd ditch the FA-18 in favor of a F-22 and F-35 team, huh Klean?

I'm not in the Navy anymore so I can safely say


She'll be a welcome addition to the cock pit

Doesn't matter if she likes it. When you say someone is flying in the Blue Angeles you're thinking of the jet.

That might be true, JSO, but without that qualification, the false INFERENCE is that she's flying the jumbo jet because she can't handle a fighter. Patent hogwash....

C-130 is not a jumbo jet, btw. It's neither jumbo nor a jet.

Jumbo jet C-130s don't kill people...the chick flying the jumbo jet C-130s kills people.
