Who is the most senior/likely F-16 candidate?

http://hamptonroads.com.nyud.net/2012/0 ... er-wing-nc

I met then Maj Jeannie Flynn at Jaber in 1999 when the Bold Tigers replaced the Rams after Desert Fox. I asked her how she handled hopping over the ocean without a piddle pack and she answered "I dehydrate myself." She also may have had the first all female F-15E crew which is now all the rage. Her WSO was really cute Laughing

Remember the wing/cc can come from any other fighter... LtCol Malachowski the first female thunderbird pilot flies F-15Es but had a tour in the F-16.. so down the road she has the possibility of commanding an F-16 wing.

Having survived Washington D.C. LtCol Malachowski is assigned as Commander, 333th FS, Seymour Johnson AFB N.C.

I believe Malachowski had the first female bear.

As I stated above, Maj Flynn had a female bear back in 1999 in Kuwait. Her last name was Melfi.

Just curious - when did "bear" come back into the back seat? This term had been for the F-4G WSO? Was this term brought back by the WSO community or just something brought up by enthusiast?

This may be a tie because even though Fox was BEFORE Allied Force both crews were probably in place at the same time.

I was lucky to do Fox with the Rams then Allied Force at Naples...

Isn't it awesome that we're discussing two crews?
