I am ex dark blue, flew Seakings, Jet-streams and Canberras, and I consider her better than I ever was . I could feel my own stress ( recently retired after 43 years flying ) just watching this. Time for a pina colada on the beach to debrief. Well done that pilot !

[garyfelton]

She is a legend, just dead jealous as it must be been such a buzz. Then again she made it look easy which it's far from. Good for you Danners!!

[stevenwest]

I think I held my breath throughout that!

go girl. show em how its done. Respect due.

I wonder how old she is because I thought the maximum age to apply for a pilot is 26 and it sounds like she’s got a lot of experience

Remember seeing this on tv..wonder what she's up to now...still serving I hope

Did Danners make it to the front line?
I can’t find the original series.

I wanted to join the Fleet Air Arm (love Harriers) back in the mid-1990s. What put me off was I shared a house with two girls; one of them had a boyfriend who graduated a year earlier. We knew each other and he joined the Royal Navy and explained their application procedure. I thought "f*ck that, I'm never getting in" so I didn't bothered applying. I couldn't apply elsewhere because I only ever wanted to do one thing so I wouldn't have been satisfied.

In the Middle East countries women aren’t allowed to drive cars but in places like the US and UK our women get to fly fighter jets

Falklands War (1982): Argentinean pilots flying EVERY DAY at 16 feet and 559 miles.

Evading waves, sea salt stuck on the front of the cockpit (due to flying so LOW). Daily South Atlantic bad weather.

Joining the danger zone with only 2 minutes over the target due to limited fuel. No radar, HUD display, early warning systems or self deffense weapons, just old 30mm neumatic cannons that usually got stuck due to the cold weather.

Evading Harriers, Sidewinders missiles and the most advanced Destroyers and Frigates antircraft defense systems. A massive technological difference between both sides, but flying jets like riding a wild horse with pure instinct and balls!

Results: Effectively delivering their "presents" over the British fleet. Damaging and SINKING ships (30% of the total British Task Force).

There is enough material for MANY Hollywood movies.

Those PIlots are the REAL Top Guns.

Anyways, nice recruiting advertisement :)
