She didn't tell them what to think or do. She did exactly what they did: put nude pictures of the opposite sex as the background/screensaver without any regard for what others would think. She obviously fit right in.
The fan girl inside of me is jumping with joy. I wish there are more female pilots out there. I remember being one of the two women in the flight school about 13 years ago, the ratio was 2 in 15 and the only woman who applied for RCAF Pilot in my division that year. For my flight test I was assigned to one of the first female pilot examinors in Canada. After the exam she told me I landed better than my flight instructor when he did his flight test, and my instructor is a damn good pilot, it made me so happy.
I'm a trans woman so take this how you want, but I think piloting, be it helicopter, jet, no matter the role, is a great fit for women. Now, that isn't to say a woman can't hold her own in a ground fight, but that with some improvements to accommodate for women, naturally smaller frames are well suited to cramped cockpits. Women also make for the most badass pilots tbh
@@YourPalKindred Lol...every story she told made her look incompetent ...stripping off for a pi55 in the middle of a combat mission...shouting at her navigator to STFU when he was trying to warn her of danger and putting on her NVG because someone told her not too and nearly blinded herself...and i'm only halfway thru....🤦♂
@@YourPalKindred not what he said at all, but it’s not exactly painting females in a great light if she’s one of the only ones that got through is it 🥴🥴
The story she told about the missile reminded me so much of one my grandfather told me once. He was a navigator in an RF-4C in Vietnam and he always talked about how important trust was between the pilot and navigator, especially when you're unarmed. He said the closest he ever came to dying was a situation just like she described, they were locked onto by a surface-air missile and he made a call to his pilot to break left and because he acted without any hesitation that's the only reason they survived
Her passion is absolutely igniting ❤️. What a woman. What amazing people fighter pilots are 🙌🏼. Your channel is hands down the best at interviews with quite literally the most interesting and inspiring people 🙏🏻🙌🏼❤️
@@LTCTTM It's a lot more difficult than you might imagine, there isn't a lot of room in the cockpit for changes and the seat itself is a complex device rigorously designed to take the extreme stresses of flight and more importantly, ejection. Refitting the seats for a new model would cost billions in research, testing, manufacture and fitting so I'd assume that they're holding off until they absolutely have to in typical military fashion because of the relatively low percentage of female fighter pilots. They'll have acknowledged the problem and tried all the easy fixes they can think of but if none of them work then they'll just say "I'm sorry but you're just going to have to deal with it. (P.S Don't crash they plane, they're expensive)"
@@DjDolHaus86 There's more than one way to skin a cat. Replacing the seat would be completely ridiculous. A relatively simple device that directs urine into the sponge bag could do the trick.
Who ever gets to work with or under this amazing Woman is bloody lucky. This is the kind of person that makes a lasting impression on people, I am so grateful she is teaching.
I absolutely love how she tells her story. She overcame so much adversity as a women within a male dominated environment. That last statement holds so true, "You can't be what you can't see." This is exactly it is important to have equality in not just the work place, but in cinema as well.
One of the most inspirational videos here. Such an incredible life story, to delve into such a heavy dominated male industry and achieve what she has made me emotional! An incredible human being.
I love the passion in her voice whiles telling her incredible story Massive respect to this incredible lady I would love to here more stories like this
Lol...every story she told made her look incompetent ...stripping off for a pi55 in the MIDDLE of a combat mission...shouting at her navigator to STFU when he was trying to warn her of danger and putting on her NVG because someone told her not too and nearly blinded herself...and i'm only halfway thru....
Nah she is just sitting in middle of men saying all these things because men are willing to take all this BS. If men were to really start acting supremacist, she wouldn't make the cut.
Amazing. Good to see the ladies up there. The US ladies have a device that they can undo their flight suit from the bottom zip and use this form fitting urine bag. I was a Royal Australian Navy member who deployed to the sand pit twice as a paramedic.
The Royal Airforce do have a system for woman, I think it's a similar one to the current system being used by the US.. But both are still looking to improve on it though. I don't know when that came into service or what was used before, Didn't this lady say she chose not to use whatever it was they had? An absorbent pad setup of some type? I dunno. But yeah it's great to see females breaking into military roles that never seemed likely not that long ago.. Feels inspirational even if you not female lol
Wow she is such an awesome person. The energy she is giving of is incredible. And how have we not fixed the "I need to pee" problem yet if it litterly can mean you poison yourself while flying a multi million dollar machine of war?
Mandy, it's fixed! We've sorted it. I flew GRs and now on the Typhoon. The Imm suits for females have a full zip underneath as do the new fg suits. And we are using a she wee type bag instead of the old one. And I believe they are working on some more permanent options. Great vid though chick!
@@theangrygamer895 Maybe, but she was brave enough to enter a male world, brave to enter a warzone, brave enough to fly through the sky as fast as sound. Have you done any of this< if so you are very brave as well. If not then lets just admire someone elses bravery
@Jerel Wayne By your own comment you have simply shown you own lack of intelligence and stupidity. I have not doubted anyone's bravery simply asked a question of someone. The question is around the content of the video and what a lady has achieved in a male dominated organisation, a warzone and a fast fighter jet. Like I said if this relates to you or anyone else then well done also. If not appreciate the video and the success of this lady. As the fact is I dont see many men doing the equivalent in a female dominated area do you?
Amazing story Very brave woman I would love to have a beer with her and listening to her stories all night Have a wonderful day today Thank you for your service

me too man i got almost a heart attack
I did too! Literally jumped to high heaven!
Same here, freaking heart attack 🥴
"So I changed all the screensavers to naked men" I am genuinely CRYING laughing :) :) :D
@jimmy larson maybe it was a prank? And maybe you're taking it too seriously?

ikr it was so funny I was like yes girl
I was like what a badass. I probably would have been so intimidated but dang what a boss response
@@cyborgchicken3502 Here's a tip for you - a prank is only funny if both parties see it so. Otherwise it's, y'know, being a prick.
She is incredible, she cut right through the fantasy and glamor of being a fighter pilot and gave the unfiltered reality.

She's a bad ass.
I've never even considered the implications of needing to take a piss whilst piloting 3000 mph jet. it's difficult enough as a car passenger
@fred flintstone Indeed!
They don't fly at 3000 MP/H but I get your point. I can't believe the air force hasn't come up with something to solve this, wtf.

A lot less hate in the comments here compared to the Tourette's woman video.
Give it time.

Hi Mandy, thanks for sharing your stories. You should be very proud of your achievements.
I absolutely love how excited she is about being a pilot and her stories.
this series is the best. Please keep them coming.
The story for the intro is truly amazing to imagine yourself
Wow she is such an awesome person. The energy she is giving of is incredible. And how have we not fixed the "I need to pee" problem yet if it litterly can mean you poison yourself while flying a multi million dollar machine of war?

Best one yet
Such an incredible narrator. I could listen all night . So intelligent & brave.. 🤩💪

This is an outstanding piece. The subject was amazing and I really loved the parting line she delivered.
wow , i love what UNILAD / LAdbible is doing , the whole stuff is really amazing
i reckon this lady is quite a laugh down the pub, she is probably a very good role model for everyone, not just women.
110 % loved this

Just listening to her audio book, absolutely fantastic listen.
BRILLIANT! I am SO glad she was instructing cadets afterwards.
First 25 seconds in and I'm already captivated.
