Meet the first female test pilot to fly the F-35
By: Stephen Losey   

An officer at Edwards Air Force Base in California last month became the first female test pilot to fly an F-35.

Maj. Rachael Winiecki, a developmental test pilot for the 461st Flight Test Squadron, flew her first test flight in the Air Force’s most advanced fighter jet Dec. 14, according to an Air Force release.

Winiecki will also be part of the 461st’s team that oversees developmental testing of all F-35 variants.
