I haven't yet seen it reported here on VAF, so I'm here to say that we have a new FFI Wingman as of last weekend. WG-07 is now our very own Tanya Card, aka "Cookie"! I'm super proud of her. She didn't just earn it, but she is very good, so don't be surprised (pet peeve of mine) that she really is show quality. I have the avgas bills over the last couple of years to prove that it isn't free .
It is a hoot to hear her talk about having to remember to back off and fly "training standards" like someone slapped a set of training wheels on the super bike that she is used to riding. I really did have to thumb-wrestle her for the airplane on the ramp for a flyover a few weeks ago, and lost. I've been consistently in the shop ever since, now that it is obvious that I'm going to need an airplane to fly.
Side note, somehow, (not so) mysteriously, we ended up with sequential wingman numbers. Falcon operates in evil ways sometimes.
