Congrats! Bravo Zulu to her. I wonder what her call sign is? Also, they are "Naval Aviators" - not "pilots" and yes, THEY will be quick to correct anyone who says otherwise.

As a Navy Airedale, I can concur. I was in Fleet Logistics, so my Naval Aviators were not so damn cocky. No place for it in the Herc Community. Actually, no one had a call sign and they were just "Pilots" (TAC and Co-Pilot).
