They've had a few female F-35 pilots, but the first Navy woman to go directly from flight school to the F-35, only got her wings back in November. (LT JG Suzelle Thomas) The Vinson deployed in August. Don't know how long postgraduate flight training in the F-35 takes, so I think there's a good chance it wasn't this woman.
I've read there were at least 2 other female F-35 pilots serving back in 2020 or so, both having transitioned from other aircraft types.
I guess we wait and see if this turns out to be true or not.

OH...good thing you cleared that up, I was thinking that someone fagged up the info in fact I was about to organize a convoy to bring light to the misinformation and the genocide of 16 million jewish midgets who were forced to wash with soap and water before they were ruthlessly electrocuted by being coerced into playing the board game Operation....I feel much better now thnx.
It used to be a rule that due to the stresses of ejection that after it happened once, you would never be cleared to fly again. I don't k ow if that is still true. I imagine fucking up a billion dollar aircraft is enough for a commanding officer to ground a pilot just so they don't find themselves on a hook if it happens again. I imagine politics can have a President change that.
I found myself poking around the website of the company that manufactures ejection seats for F 16s once. Have a list of pilots lives they have saved. One fellow had survived three super sonic ejections.

A male would have had the instinct and reacted quicker than he could think.
