F-14 FUN FACT OF THE DAY #37

A typical Naval F-14 Tomcat squadron could contain anywhere from 12-14 jets. Squadrons deploy on aircraft carriers with their Carrier Air Wing (CVW), which typically consist of four fighter aircraft squadrons out of a total of eight or so aircraft squadrons. It may have been four F-14 Tomcat squadrons or a mix of F/A-18 squadrons as well.

In F-14 squadrons, the aircraft could typically be characterized into one of a handful of categories:

2-3 jets would be in fantastic condition, capable of out-accelerating most of the aircraft, had better systems and radars and overall just flew better than all of the rest. The favorites to fly by the aircrews.

1-2 jets would be “hangar queens,” aircraft that were constantly down for maintenance and essentially lived in the hanger.

1-2 jets that were ‘bent’, they would “trim up well and just didn’t fly very well compared to the other jets.” So not quite hangar queens, just not fun to fly.

And

The rest, somewhere in between

TIL about Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman, a badass aviation pioneer who was the first Black and Native American woman to obtain a pilot's licence. Not sure if the Americans of Tumblr already know about her, but as a Brit I unfortunately did not until now, so I wanted to share her story here! (Image IDs in alt text.)

Born in Texas on January 26, 1892, Bessie was the tenth of thirteen children in a family of sharecroppers. From the age of six, she attended a small, segregated school, where she excelled as a student and eventually won a scholarship to the Missionary Baptist Church School aged 12. When she turned 18, she moved to Langston, Oklahoma to study at the Oklahoma Colored Agricultural and Normal University, but had to drop out after one semester due to financial difficulties and returned to work at the acorn fields back home.

When she was 24, Bessie moved to Chicago, Illinois and worked as a manicurist in a barber shop, where she discovered her passion for aviation after hearing the stories of some of the clients, who had been pilots during World War One. She then decided to become a pilot herself, taking on a second job to save up for flight school. However, no flight schools in the US would admit Black or women students, so another of the barber shop's clients, Robert Abbott - a Black philanthropist and publisher of the Chicago Defender newspaper - suggested that she move to France and learn to fly there. He and Jesse Binga, another Black philanthropist and banker, gave her the financial support to do this, so in November 1920, Bessie set off for France to begin her training.

On June 15, 1921, Bessie Coleman was awarded an international pilot's licence by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, becoming both the first Black woman and the first American to do so. Following this, she returned to the US, but found it difficult to make a living as a pilot, as commercial flight did not yet exist - her only option was to become a stunt (aerobatic) pilot. Once again, the US's racism and misogyny prevented her from receiving stunt training there, so in 1922 she went back to France, and by September that year was back home again for her first stunt flight. On September 3, Labor Day, she became the first Black woman to stage a public flight in the US, flying at a show sponsored by the Chicago Defender and held in honour of the veterans of the all-Black 369th Infantry Regiment of WWI.

Bessie soon became a media sensation, earning herself the nickname "Queen Bess" and performing at air shows across the US and Europe in a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" biplane (example pictured above). She refused to fly at any shows that did not permit Black people to attend, and went on speaking tours at schools and churches to encourage fellow Black aspiring aviators to take to the skies. Her dream was to open a flight school to train Black pilots, and she tirelessly raised money for this with her shows.

Sadly, on April 30, 1926, while flying with her mechanic William D. Wills, Bessie's plane unexpectedly went out of control and dove into the ground, killing both of them. An investigation revealed that this had been caused by a wrench that had been accidentally left in the plane and had jammed its controls. It was a devastating loss, and her funeral, which was held in Chicago and led by Ida B. Wells, was attended by around 10,000 people. In 1929, the Bessie Coleman Aero Club was founded to continue her work promoting Black participation in aviation, and to this day there are several scholarships in her name aimed at high school students interested in careers in aviation.

"I knew we had no aviators, so I thought it my duty to risk my life to learn." - Bessie Coleman

Fly high, Queen Bess, blue skies forever! 🛩💙

Dear Gus & Magnus,

I like telling stories -- my own, as well as other people's. I told Alex's on LinkedIn, which you can read here, but basically he went to the Air Force Academy to join the gymnastics team, then he became an engineer, and now he's a Spirit of Garver Award finalist, which is why we're here to take his picture today. I asked him if he could do a backflip. He delivered.

Dad.

One of the museum volunteers I've been working with on the museum's display planes asked me if I'd to come over to this big hangar across the airport to help him remove the battery boxes "from a really neat airplane." He didn't specify, just said it's a surprise and when I got there I met this MiG 23 that's tucked away in this hangar.

This hangar has so much to look at for real

From the turbine Beaver on floats, the custom Glassair,

or the turbine powered 100 ft wingspan glider called a Grobe. Imo is equally, if not cooler than the MiG. It can reach an altitude of 59000 ft! I bet the views from that aircraft are indescribable 🤩🥰

Also not me gushing more over the itty bitty Powerglide red orange lookin tug more than the jet >w>

I'll try to get more pics (of the tug of course 😌💕) when they fire the MiG up later in the week. >w>

If I was a highly placed corrupt official in the US Air Force I imagine I'd have a lot of fun spinning rumours so that all my colleagues think my department is secretly reverse engineering an alien spaceship when I'm actually just embezzling millions to pay a few dozen findommes to talk to me at unsociable hours.
