What are we doing here with all this?

How many women are there that actually care about being pilots? Can’t you just blow those women up in a field or something to prevent them from taking expensive planes with them?

The Guardian:

The US navy identified on Monday the two crew members who died last week in a fighter-jet crash near Mount Rainier as two 31-year-old female aviators from California.

Lt Cdr Lyndsay P Evans, a naval flight officer, and Lt Serena N Wileman, a naval aviator, died when their EA-18G Growler jet from the Electronic Attack Squadron, known as “Zappers”, crashed east of Mount Rainier last Tuesday during a training flight, according to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

Evans of Palmdale, California, made history as part of a team of female pilots who conducted the first-ever all-female flyover of Super Bowl LVII on 12 Feburary 2023, to celebrate 50 years of women flying in the navy, Steve Fiebing, a navy spokesperson, told the Associated Press.

An aerial crew located the wreckage the day after the crash at about 6,000ft (1,828 metres) in a remote, steep and heavily wooded area east of Mount Rainier, officials said.

Navy officials declared the aviators dead on Sunday and said they’ve switched from search and rescue to recovery operations.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Yeah, well.

We actually do not need an investigation.

We’re all very familiar with the nature of woman drivers.
