Good for her! She's a tough female pilot in many ways. Glad to read about her.

Capt. Christy Wise's return makes her the sixth amputee and the first female above-the-knee amputee to fly.
Fifteen months after a paddleboard accident left her an amputee, Air Force Capt. Christy Wise is retaking her place in the skies.

She's quite the woman. Other injured troops should see she's a fighter, and she never gives up. She's a great role model SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth.

SGT (Join to see) - I feel her pain. I fell off of a large tractor 18 yrs. ago, had the option of losing foot or having another option done, went with option two. Worked out fine in the end.
