“Sister Mary Aquinas learned to fly in 1943. She taught
aviation at Catholic University and was involved in training through the
Civil Aeronautics Authority. In 1957, the Air Force Association gave
her a citation for her ‘outstanding contributions’ to the nation’s
security and world peace”. As part of the honor, Sister Mary Aquinas had
the opportunity to fly in a T-33 jet trainer and take the control for
much of the flight, making her the first nun to fly a jet.

Gawd, first nuns with rifles, now a nun at the controls of a military aircraft.

 

Is there no end to these horrors?
