She was in a Tornado GR4 called in to help Kurdish troops battling 30 jihadists making a last stand in a half-built medical centre.

Two Tornados scored direct hits with Paveway IV bombs. Some of the IS fighters survived by hiding in the basement.
Brit jets were set to return for more strikes last night.
Brigadier Hamid Hashem, one of the Kurdish commanders spearheading the attack on the Iraqi border town of Rabia, was shocked one of the pilots was female.

Happens here, too, and with the rise in immorality and perversion, there will be a rise in victims.
Hmmm. I wonder what muscle has to do with flying and how the standards for pilots would have to be changed?
You are correct...The US ran out of male fighter pilots a few years ago...
