Miss America Receives Flight Experience in F-16

US Air Force 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh prepares to taxi on a 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada on December 19, 2023.

Marsh is a US Air Force Academy graduate who, as Miss Colorado 2023, was crowned Miss America on January 14. She's the first active-duty officer from any branch of the military to represent at the national level of the Miss America organization.

While the YouTube channel in question has changed the title of the video, it originally read: "The first Ukrainian female pilot who will fight using an F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet." The thumbnail for the video was photoshopped to show a Ukrainian flag patch on Marsh's flight suit, replacing the patch that reads, "Miss Colorado." The fake photo can be seen in my original video report calling out the falsification.
