She is currently 2nd pilot on the EA-37B, the newest electronic jamming plane in the USAF.

I love talking with these "kids" who are the same age as my grandaughter.

Re Plane - I have no recall what was behind it. It was crowded, and I tried to remove most clutter. As to the plane, per ChatGPT
The EA-37B is based on the Gulfstream G550 airframe and is set to replace the aging EC-130H Compass Call fleet. The first EA-37B was delivered to DM AFB on August 23, 2024, marking a significant advancement in the Air Force's electronic warfare capabilities. ​

The transition to the EA-37B represents a modernization effort, offering enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness compared to its predecessor. The Air Force plans to acquire a total of 10 EA-37B aircraft, with additional deliveries expected to continue in the coming years.
