The Flying Falcons are an elite squadron of fighter pilots in the United States Air Force.
History[]
The Flying Falcons were founded in 1963 as an elite squadron operating out of the United States Air Force Academy.
In order to become the first female fighter pilots in the United States Air Force, Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau made it their goal to join the Flying Falcons. However, they were disappointed to learn that Jenks was in charge of the group and determined admissions. They resolved to get their private pilot's licenses and managed to get them and sign up in time to try out. The day of the tryouts, they were present along with Tom Bianchi, Bret Johnson, and fifteen other men. Jenks walked the group through the process and had them sit on wooden benches. Each of the seventeen cadets auditioned, although Jenks purposefully gave Danvers an audition in name only, idling her engine. Danvers executed a power-off stall to prevent a crash before landing the plane. Bianchi and Johnson were given the positions.[1]
