'Higher, Further, Faster': F-16 Viper Team Gets 1st Female Commander

Описание к видео 'Higher, Further, Faster': F-16 Viper Team Gets 1st Female Commander

The Air Force has named its first female commander of a single-aircraft demonstration team, as the service looks to leverage the anticipated popularity of an upcoming superhero movie featuring a female fighter pilot to spur recruitment.

Capt. Zoe "SiS" Kotnik was named pilot and commander of the Air Combat Command's F-16 Viper Demonstration Team last week after completing a series of certification flights. The team showcases the F-16V Viper, the latest variant of the Fighting Falcon, at dozens of airshows each year.

Kotnik's team is in preseason training and is slated to perform their first show in Key West, Florida, from March 30-31.
