Captain Theresa Claiborne recently joined the 9G club during a flight in an F-16 with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds! As the first Black woman pilot in the Air Force, she continues to inspire and defy the odds, even in retirement. Thank you, Captain Claiborne! #SistersoftheSkies #BlackWomenPilots #RepresentationMatters #Inspire
