Major Dee Brasseur

As a follow-up to Brooks' previous post - Mach 2 with your hair on fire, here are some additional resources on Maj. Brasseur

- Dee Brasseur, one of the first two women in the world to fly a jet fighter aircraft - the CF-18 Hornet, Canada's most powerful plane in its air force arsenal.

Even better, for those in the Ottawa area, you have two chances in March to meet Major Brasseur at the Canadian Aviation Museum:
Special Guest Speaker: Dee Brasseur, a Real Jet Fighter Pilot!
Saturday, March 10 and 17 at 2 p.m
Meet Major Dee Brasseur, an aviation pioneer, member of the Order of Canada, and one of the first two women in the world to fly a CF-18 supersonic jet fighter aircraft. Be entertained and intrigued by thrilling stories of daring aerial escapades as she recounts how she broke the sound barrier!
Congratulations to Major Brasseur on a well deserved honour.
