Miles, we have the privilege of delving into the incredible journey of Michelle "Mace" Curran, a true beacon of inspiration. As a Combat Veteran and former F-16 fighter pilot, Michelle once commanded the skies as Thunderbird #6, opposing solo, before becoming the lead solo #5 in the 2020/21 airshow season. Despite a global pandemic that disrupted airshow schedules, Michelle's impact on the Thunderbirds team was immeasurable.
