- U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh (Miss Colorado) Gears Up for F-16D Familiarization Flight
U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh prepares for her familiarization flight in an F-16D Fighting Falcon, assigned to the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron, at Nellis Air Force Base, NV. Marsh is a U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and reigning Miss Colorado, competing for the crown of Miss America. After graduating from the U.S, Air Force Academy and becoming a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force, Marsh received a pilot slot and is currently deciding on her career opportunities while working on her master’s degree from the Harvard Kennedy School through the Air Force Institute of Technology’s Civilian Institution Programs.

This girl is thoroughly impressive. She got her pilot's license at 17 years old and she was a physics major with a focus on astro physics graduating from the Air Force Academy. And will be getting her master's at Harvard. She lost her mom to pancreatic cancer when her mom was only 41 yrs old and because of that she's now focusing her energies on fighting cancer as well. On top of that she's a 2nd lieutenant with the US Air Force. And she's only 22. Wow! Plus she seems like a very down to earth and authentic person. Madison thank you for your service and God bless you and your family.
Future astronaut material
Impressive is the lady doing the real piloting of the F-16, who probably has been submitted to extreme G forces during her training. I guess Ms Colorado is just in for the ride.
She's also Miss America
@@sethsisneros6630 Congrats to the new Miss America! And I just learned she's also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Just WOW!!
She’s hot
She just won the Miss America Competition! Congratulations!!
Hats off to the airman that helped Miss Marsh gear up They did there best to make her as comfortable as can be and at the same time be respectful in that gearing up phase .
their
And she left them with months' worth of memories an evening relaxation material 🐓🐓🐓🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅Merica
I liked her humble and respectful response to them as well. Kudos All.
Grew up on a drop zone.....trained college kids when I was 14....yet couldn't even jump yet.......Good job men.....you never know when you need this training.......Keep practicing on your off time.......had a chute blow up on my 8th jump......double capewells didn;t help;;;;;;;; but still here typing this story at 68 yrs old........2nd gen. Airborne.......82nd.....All the Way.........Double check your gear...ALWAYS..............Congrats to Miss Lt. Marsh.........Edward T
@@ChazToz I found most pilots and former enlisted that became officers (Mustangs) to be the best officers in the military while I was serving.
And for thousands of young girls, you have become their inspiration and idol. Well done young lady and congratulations. From an old retired Australian Navy War Veteran.
She is an inspiration for a lot of young men too.
@@CharlieBrown0507Yes, they all want to join up to...nm.
From and old Air Force guy that is awesome to have an air force pilot as miss America, that puts me thru the clouds with joy.
This shows guts and determination by a Young Woman that was given nothing! She deserves all the respect and accolades she can be awarded! GOD BLESS HER AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Given nothing? How?
That means that she worked hard to get everything that she has. @mangopudding5979
She was given great facial and body looks, if she was fat and ugly she would never be in this position
Thank you Lee Atwood.
@@jamesadams893 Ah stop using those things as excuses.
Madison, you make America so proud of you and your service to our Great Nation. As a 30 year Retired AF Veteran, I love to see our younger generation take charge with your kind of Super Ambition and Excitement. Best Wishes to you in your goals and aspirations as a Miss America Contestant and as an Air Force Pilot. I know you will do extremely well in both categories. Best Wishes to you and God’s Speed in everything you undertake in your journey. FLY SAFE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, WE LOVE YOU AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT YOU ALWAYS! 👏👍🥇🤗💐🌹🇺🇸🫡🙏🙏 GO AIR FORCE! A GREAT WAY OF LIFE!
Ray, you made a great comments!
Hats off to 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh (Miss Colorado)🇺🇸 👍💐.
Congratulations, Madison, on your career choice. My mom died of pancreatic cancer at a much older age, but the pain of her loss is the same. I pray God will grant you many years of safe flying, defending the USA. I have two brothers-in-law who served in Vietnam - one a Huey pilot and the other in the USAF. The army pilot was called up from the reserves to fly a fixed wing out of Bagram Air Base and his son flew a Blackhawk from FOB Shank and is now a civilian instructor for the army in Alabama.
My wife and I were present when Lt Marsh won the Miss Colorado crown. We wish her the best in the upcoming Miss America pageant. It’s nice to see the real video and not the fake one portraying her as a Ukrainian pilot which was a disservice to her accomplishments. Fly, Fight, Win and Gods Speed!
tbf Ukrainian pilots are the most accomplished combat pilots in the world currently and will make fearsome F16 pilots very shortly, so it's no insult whatsoever, but yes, it is fantastic to see her as herself and commended for her achievements
@@djanitatianathe equipment they getting from USA is just good
YES!
@@zane9758those Ukrainians are getting their F16s from Denmark and the Netherlands.
@@frankteunissen6118 and who did they get the from only one country makes f 16 you know
she doesn't need to compete in any competition to be crowned Miss America, she's the real deal, the Country needs more young people like her.
Amen to that.
Besides shooting for miss America she is off to a good start to General being an Academy Grad. Maybe the first woman President?
AMEN!
@@brianlawliss1080AWESOME
Just wow, how in the hell she managed to get all these in such a young age, 22 years? A pilot, a 2nd Lt in US Airforce, Miss Academy, Miss Colorado, Miss America, Astrophysics degree, a black belt In Taekwondo, and now pursuing a Master degree from Harvard. God bless. It will not surprise me if more achievements comes to light.
.
That's what happens when your parents are rich, educated, Godly and you are hardworking and naturally sharp
Becoming the President of the United States does not appear to be out of question for this dynamic young lady. Total respect too you.
She hasn't started pilot training yet, but I'm sure she'll pass it. Go Miss America!
@@robboinnz Captain America?
@@robboinnz She is already a pilot since age 17, started at 16 years old.
She got the brain.
She got the looks.
She’s a true sky warrior.
I do not care if she is female or male, if they can do the job in there plane, and protect the USA from our enemies! I support this 2nd LT. We need pilots like her throughout our services! And God Bless America and our Military Personnel!
😊😊😊😊😊
@davidoverholt251, więc nie szukaj wrogów, w tedy bóg cię będzie błogosławił 🙏
With the utmost gratitude & respect for our men & woman in the airforce, thank you!! !!
thank you but just a friendly correction: Air Force is two words and capitalized :)
The staff are very professional. Air Force is so detailed and people oriented. I am so impressed! Love this
The AF is NOT people oriented. This person has people backing her but there are several disconnects. She got a pilot slot and yet she also got an AFIT slot as well. Good for her but, the AF needs pilots. If she doesn't take the pilot slot she will be gone is 4 years.
@@MikeMiasuki-vy3xx JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas -The success of the Air Force relies on developing people. Current leaders need to build and mentor future leaders. There is a responsibility for Airmen (enlisted, officer, and civilian) to be the best they can be in order to support the mission.
“Bottom line, we trust our Airmen.” said Col Shelly Mendieta, AETC A3/6 Deputy Director for Force Development. “We trust Airmen to make decisions - we trust their skills and their professionalism - we trust their abilities to think and execute. Our Airmen are the asymmetric advantage of the DAF. Trusting them, means that we also owe it to every Airman to invest in them and ensure they have deliberate opportunities and proper resources to develop their competencies.”
The Airman’s Foundational Competency of “Develops People” starts with the mindset that development is a shared responsibility between the Airman and the development team; supervisors, leaders, mentors, and coaches. You are in a position to find out the developmental needs and career goals of your Airmen.
There are Airman’s Foundational Competencies that every Airmen can build with for success. There are also occupational competencies that are specific to a uniformed member’s Air Force Specialty, or for a civilian member’s job series, as identified by senior members of the career field.
As a supervisor, leader, coach, or mentor, providing an environment that supports the development of people ensures that the Air Force has a deep bench of talent to support every mission.
An important part of “Develops People” is providing tools and opportunities (i.e., training, education and experiences) to improve Airmen through the use of competencies, such as MyVector, Developmental Special Experiences (DSEs), badging and credentialing, and increased responsibilities.
MyVector provides Airmen access to coaches and mentors, to DSEs, and to tools like the Air Force Competency Self-Assessment (myvector.us.af.mil/myvector/home). By using this self-assessment tool, Airmen will be well on their way to self-improvement. But you can go a step further and Request Supervisor Feedback or Request 360 Feedback after completing the Self-Assessment. Once you see the power of those tools, you can recommend them to Airmen you supervise, lead, mentor, or coach. They will get the instant feedback and a plan with links to opportunities to get after competencies that are identified as needing improvement, and they will also see how others view them.
Beyond the tools in MyVector, you can e-mail a link to a Ted Talk or an article you found on a soft skill you believe is relevant to an Airman’s growth. A personal e-mail helps show that you are invested in their success, just as they are. This is just one example - use your Creative Thinking foundational competency to come up with other ways to develop people.
As you think about how to develop people, consider these concepts.
Advocate - Find training courses, developmental programs, and guest speakers that develop people. Make it your mission to extend development beyond OJT and CDCs.
Make time - Get to know the Airmen you supervise, lead, coach, and mentor. Understand what is going on in their lives and learn their career goals, passions, and worries. Find projects that help to meet their career and life goals; these may be outside their comfort zone.
Advise - Do not wait for the mandatory sessions to develop people. Developmental discussions should be an ongoing process. Chat after a meeting or while getting coffee.
Feedback - We don’t always see our behaviors. As a supervisor, leader, coach, and mentor, you might see a competency deficiency or ineffective behavior that holds an Airman back. Share how you’ve developed, and how others challenged you to get out of the comfort zone. Most importantly, listen with an open mind.
Don’t let development or competency be the buzz word of the year. Make “Develops People” part of your everyday experience. Supervisors, leaders, coaches, and mentors all take time to develop people to meet goals and missions.
“Show your Airmen that you value them by taking the time to help them develop”, said Mendieta. “When we as leaders are committed to our Airmen and demonstrate that through actions, we will continue to grow and become an even stronger Air Force.”
academy commitment is 5 years maybe longer now but not if you play pro ball. Then they let you out and call it recruiting.@@MikeMiasuki-vy3xx
What a badass!!! 💪❤️ Thank you all for your service! ❤️💙🇺🇸
The lady is amazing, i can watch her all day
God Bless this beautiful young woman in helping to keep our skies safe and secure!!!!!
Thanks Madison for all you have done to America ❤
I wish her well in both endeavors - pageantry and fighter pilot
What an amazing first time experience that must be - take off with so much power, quick banks and climbs, speeds near or above Mach 1, even at low levels, and all with a birds-eye view.
Congratulations 2LT Marsh so many accomplishments! My late wife, the former two semester cadet battalion commander of the CSU Ram & UNC Bear battalions, Virginia Seigel, ended up an Army CPT and CH-47 pilot. (Sadly we lost her along with Elise our second grandchild in her Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee, N6323R. Their accident was on June 17, 2021 in Rush Valley, Tooele County, Utah and is still under investigation.)
So sorry to hear that Sir. God certainly works in very mysterious ways. I trust each day is a little easier for you and yours.
My deepest condolences and I'm thankful a human being such as her was able to exist among us! Thank you for your service Virginia Seigel.
Salute Madison from a old vet stay safe May God watch over you when your in harms way. thank you for winning for America real woman
Wow,, we never would have realized the things a pilot must deal with just to suit up had we not seen all these steps Madison experienced fitting her flight suit and helmet to her. Learning to work with the equipment must be quite an experience. Time and as we racers say,, 'seat time' will make those things become almost second nature. We have so much respect for our service men and women who fly the aircraft America sends into the sky.
CONGRATULATIONS MADISON! MISS USA!!❤❤
Congratulations 2nd LT on all of your accomplishments!
This woman has been on an upward trajectory on account of merit. Imagine how great it would be if the entire world operated like that. My deepest respect to 2nd Lt Marsh.
How is it an upward trajectory?
@@mangopudding5979 earned her private pilot license at age 16, graduated from the Air Force Academy, won Miss Colorado, getting her Master's Degree at Harvard now, just won Miss America yesterday, and will probably be going to pilot training for the Air Force after her Master's degree is complete.
Great stuff. As a retired life support troop, I found this nice to see. Congrats Miss Colorado, hope you enjoyed and are doing well.
Congrats to Lt Marsh, Miss America 2024. Can't think of a better representative!
What an incredibly AWESOME experience that had to be !!! It looked like she handled the flight in the F-16 like she was born to fly !!! 🥰 Her eye's sparkle like diamonds, and she is training to protect the American citizens... W O W ! What a special kind of woman ! I pray for your safety and success !!!

For those wondering, the oxygen is being delivered at a higher pressure, it's called pressure breathing. Basically at really high altitudes, the ambient air pressure is so low that the oxygen that you inhale into your lung doesn't have enough pressure to diffuse through the capillaries into your blood. So the oxygen systems delivers the air at a positive pressure to force the oxygen to diffuse.
The weird feeling that they're talking about is because normally we contract our muscles to inhale (taking a breathe), and when we relax, we exhale. However, when you pressure breathe, its the reverse. When you relax, the positive pressure forces you to inhale, and you need to forcefully exhale to counter that pressure.
Us old folks on CPAPs have an inkling of what this breathing pattern is like!
Yea, I received 1 1/2 hour a maintenance flight in a F-15D when we were TDY to Sardina, Italy back in the early 80's. Did a Functional Check Flight (FCF) takeoff which is a afterburner takeoff then setting the plane on it's tail at the end of the runway and climbing to 10,000 feet with the runway still under you. That was awesome and one of the most memorable things I did during my USAF career.
From one service member to another thanks for serving.
The positive pressure was for a mask leak check for fitting. The O2 system automatically ads positive pressure above 28K. However, the F-16 is,pressurized so that function is never used unless you depressurization.
What an inspiring story…such an impressive young lady. Real life Hollywood story in the making. Thank you for serving your country! Top Gun 3 🙏👏👍
Gives new meaning to if looks could kill..in her case......Hell Yeah!
Very Interesting Gearing Up. Thanks for the ride BE SAFE!!
Wow Outstanding. So much to talk about in this Video. Frist too 2nd Lt Marsh. Congratulations on Winning the Miss America pageant. And to the United States Air Force. In Making this video. From Fitting of the flight suite
to take off. The F16 was a site to see close up. If this does not motivate young People to look into the Air Force as a career. Nothing will. I could not believe how close they were to the ground while flying. You could see the hiking trails the single tracks. I kept thinking I would hate to be the opposing ground troops. With that much fire power and speed coming up on you. I wish they would have introduced the Pilot. And Put speed Heart rate and G force in the top corner of the screen. I feel with all the Attention on her she did great.
From a US Army Combat trained Vet 1977 to 1981. Go USA.
The speed wasn’t that fast and they were straight and level, that would be 1 G
MADISON IS NOW 2024 MISS AMERICA!
Brains. Bravery. Beauty.
ROCK!
Trevor "Duck" Hunter, what a great callsign.
This is AMERICA, where everything is possible and even Miss America is a USAF PILOT - Love IT.....
This 2nd LT has been successful from hard work but a lack of integrity overshadows it all. We in the past, eliminated cadets with an integrity problem. Cadets that left the wrong impression were also elminated, it was called quibbling and is considered by us to also be a lie.
She is absolutely not an Air Force Pilot and never never be good enough to pass AF Pilot training which takes a year, she then has to go through water survival, then F-16 training which takes 6 months. She graduated 1.5 years ago and has been taking Masters classes. What makes around think she’d has gone through 1.5 years of otherwise training.
Stupid American public that falls for anything without researching
Mistype, May never be good enough
Congratulations LT Marsh!
It would be awesome if every junior high and high school freshman girl could see this video.. What an amazing inspiration Madison will be as she gains experience flying America's aircraft.
Not just a beautiful face. Her mom would be so proud.
Her dad?
CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve all that you want . Just so there is no misunderstanding you have worked hard and earned everything you have achieved.
an officer asked him a question and his response was "yeah..."
the discipline of the chAir Force, on full display.
Wow, super insightful and cool to get this inside look. Good for her and the USAF.
It is awesome that someone with this much talent, intelligence, drive and abilities would devote herself to service in the military.
A salute to 2Lt Marsh - Aim High ... Fly Fight and Win the Miss America Competition in this case - Thank You
And she took the Ms. America 2024 title! Aim high!!!!!
Wow. Congratulations!!! For being crowned Miss America 2024 👏 👏 👏 👏
She’s Miss America now! So proud of her 🇺🇸 REPRESENTING!!!!
Awesome check out flight Lt. Marsh.....I have never seen a pilot with EYES like yours......Good Luck and GOD BLESS YOU
The looks and sounds of freedom. Good luck young lady.
Congratulations, Madison, from a USAF VET. Good luck with your pilot training.
Lol, would this still be called a "Life Support Shop" ?! I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB in 1970 assigned to the 354 TFW and the 353 TFS. We had, then, the new A-7D's which the A-10 replaced around 1975...
This young woman is amazingly amazing...What a portfolio she is compiling. I wish her the best in all her endeavors. These young airman will give her the best professional training available. These NCO's
are highly trained in every aspect of the aircraft and pilots life support systems!! I loved every minute at Myrtle and the two TDY's to Korat RTAB Thailand! I still have friends I worked with along with pilots I stay in touch with. We were very close-knit .. Col Wayne E Davis was our Squadron Commander...he was the roll model of roll models. He helped me get into OTS and I returned to the Squadron as the new intel officer...he passed 5 March 2016...rest in peace Colonel 💖
Most sincere congratulations to Miss Madison from France!
Miss Madison joint l'utile à l'agreable,as we say here!USAF#1!
CONGRATS Madison. May the good LORD bless you much more as you continue your Air Force career. I'm a USAF vet myself, stationed at the former Mather AFB in Calif. You know, when my wife was watching your Miss America pageantry, we're cheering up for you, liked your pilot's narrative on the talent competition. Air High Lt.! Thank you for your service. God loves you!

Appreciate her discussion with the enlisted airman - respect.
👍. When you are so talented, goal oriented and beautiful, not just by appearance but oviously as person too, , all what you can do, is give applause and sincere admiration! The news told lately that she also was chosen Miss America winning the beauty contest. 🌹. Congratulations. Winners often takes all.
God Bless...Hope you are an inspiration to the next generation...we need more like you...
The entire Miss America 2024 show (2 hours 38+ minutes) was posted earlier today on the TH-cam site Miss America. Madison won the title of Miss America 2024. There were no commercials during the show.
She had a callsign change. She is Miss America now. :)
Proud of all our pilots -
Godspeed - 🇺🇸✈️🦅🗽
Congratulations the new Miss America, you literally are soaring high!
America, the land of opportunities. If you set your mind to achieve them.
Sweeeet 🙏❤️
Thank Youuuu for Your Service
🙏❤️
I wish they would've interviewed her n the Pilot ; expressing the reason for their Love of Defending America 🇺🇸
GOD BLESS US ALL ALWAYS 🙏 ❤️
I got incentive rides in the T-37, F-16, and F-15E as a USAFA cadet over 30 years ago. My crew was super professional but it’s clear they do a LOT more prep these days. I never learned how to use the harness, didn’t get sized for a helmet, etc. 😂 It was still one of the coolest experiences ever, and the Strike Eagle was my favorite.
When she’s says all I want is world peace at the pageant she can back it up!
The ultimate over achiever well done young lady you are a role model for all young ladies well done from NZ
Big Respect…
Mind, body and spirit. Save a little for the rest of us, jeez…
Seems like a great young woman.
It's very fitting that she won Miss America because she is truly a role model for everyone to follow and what a down to Earth person even being this accomplished at such a young age. Excited to see what she will do next with her career.
Fortunately, when we go for a Hot Scramble, all of this preparation and measuring comes to full realization, because each compression suit your jumping into was created for each pilot. Any damage becomes paramount because it's a tight fit for a purpose, safety and rescue!
Congrats Miss America!! 🇺🇸 🥰
Holy Moly, that's awesome, GOD bless America the beautiful. Amazing how technology progress more and more.
Congrats in your work towards the furtherance of women’s in the services!
A Marine to 2nd lieutenant Madison 👏 Congregation and Thank You
Gotta give it to her!! Beautiful and smart!!!!
appreciate all involved in sharing this aspect of service
LT Marsh, Pease do NOT ever believe that your challenge is on a stage or before an audience. You are meant for larger stages.
I can see this girl flying into space, talk about the right stuff.
The best thing being US Air Force pilot you don't have to master crazy crash landing on an aircraft carrier.
Madison is a Great American, Cheers Madison.
Miss America!!!
Well I would just like too congratulate her on winning Miss America
think you would be interested in becoming President one day?
Well done young lady..You are a great model to a lot of young girls...keep flying high.
Never sit in the back seat of a fighter jet unless your stomach is completely empty.
She is really pretty, and we all hope, in the future, she will become the real Fighter Pilot as well.
the real purpose of the oxygen mash is to hide the GIGANTIC grin on their faces.
Aw, oh. The secret is out!
👀👾
miss America flying a killing machine
This real life story deserves a movie good luck and god bless miss Madison
So is her call sign " Colorado" or are we waiting to say "Miss America"? She's a down to earth winner
Many congratulations due to 2Lt Marsh. First for being a member of the US Air Force and graduation from the AF Acadamy. For Striving for a higher degree at Harvard. For maintaining her composure on that F16 Fam Flight. And for winning the Miss America crown. Best of luck to her on all of her endeavors.
Many Blessings Ma’am; I respect you; stay in the Air Force until you retire❤
Love her modesty.
She is the best Miss America Ever. God bless you, Madison Marsh, you are my super model.
80's and 90's are the best decade
🇺🇲 Congratulations, Lt Marsh as Miss Colorado ❤
We wonder who was the pilot who took Madison up for this flight. Perhaps she didn't want her name mentioned because unless everyone's name was shared she's 'only' a member of the team. Thank everyone for your awesome service,, GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I love The 59th Fighter Squadron "Proud Lions" Large Metal Badge hanging on the wall. I am a Proud Lion too! I was a Crewchief in there!
From Kenya, i have had posters of the American airforce forever. Comp science graduate. Astitute follower and admirer of the USAF, from the old to the new. I spend countless hours watching, and reading, and doing any airforce excercise i can get my hands on. like trying the g force test, only i dont have the ATFS-400-31😆. At 29,is my dream of joining USAF, as a foreigner valid?. Coz i would fly anything from the 40s as long as it is American
You go girl, well done.
Thank you for what you guys do.
