Episode #116 - SocialFlight Live! - USAF Thunderbirds Pilot Col Nicole Malachowski (ret) on Pilot Health Issues

When Col. Nicole Malachowski was in middle school, women were prohibited from becoming fighter pilots. Against these odds, Col. Malachowski joins us today as a combat veteran who piloted the amazing F15E Strike Eagle in multiple war zones. She rose to become a flight commander, instructor pilot and flight lead, and has more than 2,300 hours in six different Air Force aircraft. She served as a White House Fellow and was the first female pilot with the famous United States Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team. She retired due to medical reasons in 2017 and, since that time, has transformed her life’s work into helping others facing similar life challenges. “SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.
