Yesterday, our granddaughter mentioned that a "C-DUB" was the instructor pilot with whom she flew.
This is all I knew about and asked Gemini for help.
This was the query because this is absolutely all I knew about this pilot, the very minimal details our granddaughter gave us:
T-38. "Incentive" rides for USAF ROTC students. The instructor pilot started out in helicopters. Female instructor pilot.
Gemini's reply:
I can now write C-DUB a thank you note for all she did for our granddaughter. This is simply amazing.
But there's more. Click on the "photo." It's a video. Link here.
Must-read bio of CW, link here. CW is a world-class marathoner:
White's athletic accomplishments include competing in the Olympic Trials, the U.S. 10-mile championship, and the 2011 Boston Marathon, in which she ran 2:37 and was the fifth American finisher. She took second place in the 2011 Air Force Marathon, but was the first place military runner. She also won the 2011 U.S. Armed Forces Cross-Country Championship three times.
"When fellow Airmen think running at an elite level is only for a select few and out of reach for them, I like to point out that I did not start running until after I was commissioned," she said.
"I developed my running while in the Air Force. It is possible for anyone if they are willing to dedicate themselves." White has been running for four years. Of the 191 women who ran Olympic Marathon Trials, she finished 34th.
