YES A WOMAN!!!! Marine Capt. Katie Higgins, 27, the first-ever female Blue Angel…..will be flying the C-130 Hercules cargo plane known as “Fat Albert,” which is a bigger aircraft that flies slower and lower than the jets at air shows. It’s a task that will surely come naturally to Higgins, whose father, two uncles, and grandfathers were all pilots. Higgins is expected to start training in January, with her first performance scheduled for March.
I didn’t know blues had women pilot..
Women pilots ?
*men and women
My family & I will Definitely be tending this spectacular show these brave men put on….. It will absolutely blow your mind when you see theses men perform, but an experience that is unforgettable! !! The kids are amazed @.the planes & how they can do all the tricks…. I’m so proud the Blue Angels have come back another year. Being on the Beach with family friends & a Great show….. what else could you ask for.
