U.S. Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle, takes a moment to pose for a photo with his sniper rifle during one of his four deployments to Iraq. He remains the deadliest sniper in American military history with 160 confirmed kills.

Kyle survived his 4 tours in Iraq, but would be killed at a Texas gun range on February 2, 2013, by a veteran he was trying to help overcome PTSD.

Fair winds and following seas, Legend. You will never be forgotten.

In 1978, Jill E. Brown-Hiltz was hired as a pilot for Texas International Airlines, making her the first African American woman pilot at a major airline. But it didn't always look like her dreams would come true.

Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, she always wanted to fly more than anything else but she ended up graduating with a degree in Home Economics and began teaching.

In 1974, however, Brown enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where she was admitted into the Navy's flight training program. She was the first African American woman in the program but felt that the Navy wasn’t for her. After six months, she was honorably discharged.

Her next job was at Wheeler Airlines, where she worked her way up from a ticket counter clerk to pilot, logging enough hours as a pilot to quality for a job at a major airline.

Texas International Airlines (TIA) later hired Brown as a pilot when she was just 28-years old, and she made history. However, because she believed that she was only hired because of her race, she decided to only stay with the airline for a year.

It’s estimated that African American women only make up about 0.01% of all commercial pilots in the country. Brown was definitely a pioneer in a field that is still dominated by white men. Because of her early accomplishments, Brown continues to inspire many other Black and minority women who aspire to be pilots as well.

But her success has not always been easy. For example, in 1990, Brown sued United Airlines for discrimination because she applied three times and was never hired. The lawsuit was unsuccessful, but it opened the doors for her to advocate for others who are victims of discrimination in the airline industry.

13 Stars in a Staggered Pattern, a U.S. Navy Commissioning Pennant or a Commercial Maritime Pennant, 1820-1845 era.

Beginning in the early 19th century, the US Navy adopted the use of commissioning pennants as part of the complement of flags and ensigns aboard their ships. The commissioning pennant was first hoisted when the ship was officially commissioned and it remained flying unless a flag officer or civilian, such as admiral, is aboard, during which time the commissioning pennant is replaced by their own flag.

hey does tumblr know about the controversy surrounding the trend of aircraft pilots meowing.

#buzzy #assigned catgirl on guard #uhhh the controversy isnt super long its mostly that it clogs up the frequencies and is annoying apparentlt #but if u say 'hey stop that' they just meow more #which sounds funny but also like its on emergency frequencies and shit #(bc emergency frequencies are rarely used so it ends up being a lotta nonsense)#or st like that #still its funny to hear a chinese navy ATC (?) meow at a very stern sounding american airforce pilot #anyway. just know theyre meowing up in the skies #or were idk if its still a thing #airplanes #aviation #meowviation
