We were delighted to be joined by Major Michelle Curran of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team.
Major Curran, callsign ‘Mace’ is just the fifth female Thunderbirds pilot and chatted to us from Las Vegas, discussing her route to becoming a fighter pilot and the challenges she met along the way.
We also talked about the F-16 and of course the Thunderbirds, with plenty of advice for aspiring pilots along the way.
