- August 24th 2024
In this interview Liz Booker talks with USAF Academy graduate, F-16 combat veteran pilot, former no. 3 Thunderbird demonstration team pilot, and boy-mom Caroline ‘Blaze’ Jensen about her sweet new picture book, Thundermouse, her career, and how she managed one of the most visible and demanding jobs imaginable as the mother of a toddler. Blaze is the granddaughter of a WWII SPAR (Women's Coast Guard Reserve) and a Coast Guard Grandfather, and daughter of a U.S. Marine, but we’ll forgive her for joining the Air Force. She was inspired by Top Gun and guided by the legacy of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and is currently the Board President-Elect of the WASP Museum in Sweetwater, Texas. Her illustrious Air Force career also included a stint as a Congressional Liaison. Blaze is a motivational speaker for hire and offers mentoring to aspiring and junior military aviators.
