Woman becomes first female marine to pilot F-35B fighter jet
Marine to pilot F-35B fighter jet
A woman who attributes her success to "showing up prepared and working diligently" has become the first female Marine to pilot a F-35B fighter jet.
U.S. Marine Capt. Anneliese Satz, 29, of Boise, Idaho, completed the F-35B Basic Course on June 27, the Marine Corp announced in a press release last week.
Satz trained for four years, including in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Meridian, Mississippi, before arriving at Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, South Carolina, in July 2018. She took her first flight in the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, the first-ever supersonic short takeoff/vertical landing stealth aircraft, in October 2018.
The first flight was done solo — something that Satz said she was prepared for thanks to her training, which included practice time in simulators and written exams.
“The syllabus thoroughly prepares you for that first time you take off and for every flight after that, it’s an exhilarating experience,” she said in the press release.
The Marines said Satz, who has more than 300 flight hours, will now join a unit called the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121, the Green Knights in Iwakuni, Japan.
Before joining the Marines, Satz was a commercial pilot flying helicopters. She said her helicopter piloting and training schools helped her live up to her potential.

After getting her hands on the 2-inch-tall toy, Vivian Lord of Little Rock, Arkansas quickly realized there are no women figures — not even in the pink set.
“I saw the pink ones but [those] aren’t girls and [people] in the Army don’t wear pink,” she wrote in her letter, as reported in Military Times.com.
One of the recipients of the letter was Jeff Imel, an executive with Scranton, Pa.-based BMC Toys, who quickly responded with an “overdue update” of an ongoing project to fashion the female figures.
“The general concept is a set of female combat toy soldier figures in the style of the plastic Army men from WW2-Cold War era that would blend in with existing figures from a variety of manufacturers and look like what the average person thinks of as ‘

The general concept is a set of female combat toy soldier figures in the style of plastic army men for more war to Cold War era there would blend in with existing figures from a variety of manufacturers and look like what the average person thinks of his little green army men that just happened to be a woman he wrote. Women in 2016 make up 14% of the Army's enlisted ranks and 18% of all army officers were female. While several manufacturers produce the green army men featured in such movies as Toy Story. Mr. Mel said that he is developing the figures as toy soldiers that are an extension of the generic army men universal pop culture rather than historically accurate hobby models. It is almost certain that the toy would be created in the standard army green but it remains unclear whether his version would be manufactured in pink, which may not be warmly received by the six year old soccer player.

She wrote that if the female plastic soldiers are produced she would play with them every day and my friends would too. You can find more news on that story in our show notes.
