Blogging In Formation is at it again. Our theme this month is in honor of Aviation History Month. And what a great month this will be.
At age 27, this OV-10 Bronco pilot was the most decorated female pilot
in the Philippine Air Force, and one of only six combat-qualified. On a
rainy day in March 26, 2001, she did something so remarkable, that she
became the only female to ever receive her nation’s highest military
honor: The Medal of Valor. The local town dedicated a street to her, and
her home town erected a statue.
She is revered by Filipinos as a national hero!
Who is she and what did she do?
Take a guess at who she is and what she did, and then head on over to the Adventures of Adventures of Cap’n Aux to find the answer.
